Travel, no matter how wonderful and exhilarating, can be stressful as well. Here are a few tips to make the stress go away.
Get tickets in advance
The lines at the Vatican and Coliseum are gut-wrenchingly long. If you haven’t got all day to spend on the queues, then best to buy a ticket well in advance. That’ll allow you to go ahead of the crowds. If you’re under a tight schedule, then getting those tickets in advance is a must, says the Business Insider.
Do your research
Don’t assume that all the restaurants in the city will serve you divine Italian feasts. Rome is a popular tourist destination and a lot of the restaurants take advantage of that fact by serving substandard meals. If you want to make every meal time count, put in the work and do your research. That should help you find restaurants that offer great meals that won’t hurt your wallet.
Avoid the crowded summer months
If you don’t want to find yourself running into a huge crowd of tourists everywhere you turn, don’t book your trip during the summer months. Otherwise, prepare for the long queues, not just to popular local attractions but to the restroom, shops and restaurants, and everything else in between. Crowds can also slow you down, making it difficult to bop over from one spot to another.
Go on a private tour
There’s nothing like the convenience of having someone take care of you for the entire trip or a few days during your stay. By booking Rome private tours, you can experience what the city has to offer in a way that’s completely different from the average tourist on a DIY tour and budget. It’ll also help you see more of the city with someone else worrying about the logistics, food and transportation, leaving you free to enjoy every minute of your vacation.
