RE: Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain), one of the most emblematic places in Rome, Italy

in Worldmappin2 years ago

Indeed Rome is an amazing city worth exploring, I noticed that almost everywhere you turn your eyes will have something to photograph.
And yes public transport is cheap compared to food for example or entrance to certain attractions.
But calculating from airfare to accommodation and all the other costs, Rome is not cheap.

I would be very happy to see that in the near future you will have much to share with us from your experience in Rome.

Thanks so much for stopping by😊

That's the thing I have to plan before going to Rome because Milan and Lake Como were not cheap either. Even in my opinion, Lake Como was way more expensive than Milan. The cheapest food I got in Genoa only, Venice was also expensive. So, I have to prepare for the Rome trip...Thanks for such valuable information...

Indeed, as I wrote, I found Rome a bit expensive compared to the standard of living here in Romania, here I'm talking about an average wage earner, you have to save some money to afford a city breack there.
The airfare alone was over 200 euros, plus accommodation, plus food and other expenses, in the end you are left with a considerable amount, but in the end worth the effort.

Completely agree with you but you said already each penny is worth in Italy...

Yes, Italy is not cheap, that's my opinion.

While I was in Rome, I tried to save a little if I could, here I wanted to say that I traveled by public transport (not by taxi), the transfer from the airport to the city center was done again by train and bus (not by taxi which costs 50 euros) the train cost 14 euros, I visited St.Peter's square and the basilica on Sundays when it was free to visit.
Now it depends on everyone what they want from a vacation and of course the comfort zone.
