On the central part of Rome you can walk without fear, but it is better to avoid "emigrant" quarters. The main danger for tourists is represented by pickpockets, especially gypsies, in crowded streets and public transport. At many stops even there are special inscriptions warning about pocket thieves.

The work of public transport in Rome is well established .A bus or tram is an ideal means of transportation around the city .The bus at the stop should be "caught", that is, to vote, otherwise it can pass by .Tickets are sold in newspaper and tobacco kiosks, sometimes in bars .The fare is 1 EUR (75 minutes, the ticket is called metrebus, and as its name implies, the action extends to the metro) .Tickets must be punched in small yellow boxes, otherwise the controller will "make a decent penalty and no" Rousseau tourist is not understood "will not be rented .
Metro is the fastest way to travel. Works daily from 5:30 to 23:30. In Rome, only two metro lines - A and B, trains run with a minimum interval of 10-15 minutes. Due to the abundance of monuments that continue to be found in Rome, there are no metro stations directly in the historic center of the city. The nearest is at the Vatican, the Colosseum or the Plaza of Spain (from here it is worth considering that from the Campo de Fiori square, for example, the path to the metro can take up to 15 minutes).
Taxis in Rome are usually yellow, with a sign "servizio pubblico". Payment on the counter, but the tip, as usual, are welcome. On weekends, holidays and night time there is an extra charge. For trips outside the city (for example, to the airport) there is a special fixed rate.
A special tourist bus runs daily around the city, the so-called "hop on hop off". The fare for such buses is from 15 to 25 EUR. Each bus has about 10-20 stops around the city, on which you can go and sit back all day. All buses have panoramic windows or open second floors, as well as an audio guide in Russian. There are routes along the center of Rome, along Christian Rome, along the ancient Appian Way, etc.

The latest, exclusive models of footwear, clothing, accessories and ornaments from Armani, Gianfranco Ferre, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Laura Biagiotti, Valentino, Rocco Barocco, Trussardi and many others are sold in the area of Plaza de España (Piazza di Spagna).
Cuisine and restaurants in Rome
In Rome there is a trattoria and a hosteria - analogues of the Russian concept of "tavern". Such establishments, as a rule, differ in good cuisine. Eat here is somewhat cheaper than in a restaurant - about 15 EUR for a full meal or dinner from several dishes.
Rosticeria - small restaurants with home cooking. This is the most economical option - here lunch or dinner will cost about 9 EUR. "Rosticherii", as a rule, are in quiet alleys, aside from the lively tourist places. They are pleased to visit the Italians themselves.
The cheapest way to eat is to buy pizza for a takeaway, which costs from 2 EUR.
Lunch in Rome on the run, for three minutes, swallowing a cup of coffee and a croissant. Lunch, as a rule, also in bars (sandwiches-panini or pizza pizza - pizza al taglio). Dinner starts at around 7:30 pm and lasts until midnight. It is worth a try: zucchini flowers in batter (fiori di zucca), artichokes (carciofi), bovine tail soup (coda alla vaccinara), pasta with brisket, hot pepper and sheep cheese pecorino (all'amatriciana), braised treepree (trippa) or bovine eggs (granelli).

Rome hotels
The main place of concentration of hotels in Rome - around the main railway station, where Russian travel agencies like to settle their clients. There are both nice establishments and shocking hotels with their sizes, where they manage to cram all the necessary attributes of the hotel life by three square meters: a bed, a wardrobe, a bedside table, etc. The cost for two people per night fluctuates around 100 EUR.
There are at least hotels in the area of Campo de 'Fiori and the Pantheon. Having paid 120-150 EUR per night, the tourist will enjoy every day beautiful views of the domes and cathedrals of the Baroque Rome. You can also search hotels near the Plaza de España.
Do not forget about the so-called apartment! They cost not in the example cheaper, about the same 100 EUR (but not for two, but 3-4-5, etc.), but instead of one room with shower the tourist will live in a spacious two- or three-room apartment with kitchen, hallway and full bathroom. As a bonus to the apartment, you feel like a full-fledged resident of Rome: greet with neighbors, buy milk in the nearest supermarket for breakfast and take out the rubbish, boring it into glass or paper, ecologically.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Rome
Perhaps, it is most convenient to inspect Rome for centuries: antiquity, the Middle Ages, Baroque and Renaissance. In the same way, tickets are often combined in the city. For example, there is an entrance ticket to Palatine, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the cost of which is 12 EUR. To save money this ticket will not help, but time is very even. For example, buying it not in the Coliseum (where there are always lines), but in the Roman Forum. And after examining the Forum, go to the Colosseum without a queue (there is a ticket).
The main sights of the city: the Roman forum with altars of Saturn and Vulcan, the sanctuary of Vesta, the House of Vestal, the source of Yuturn and the arch of Septimius Severus. The famous Colosseum, the Pantheon and Raphael's tomb, and the largest structure in the area of the forum are the basilica of Maxentius and Constantine.
Other priceless historical monuments: the Palatine (the birthplace of Rome as a city), the ruins of the Basilica of Emilia, Curia, Flavia's Palace, the Forum of Augustus, the Arch of Constantine, the ruins of the Trajan's Forum and the famous Trajan's Column, the Romulus Temple, the Imperial Palaces of Augustus, Flavia and Tiberian, the Termas of Caracalla , dozens of fragments of ancient walls and religious buildings.

In addition, in Rome, many medieval, Renaissance and Baroque monuments: the catacombs, where the first Christians sheltered from persecution, the most famous square of Rome - Piazza Navona with the Egyptian obelisk, the church of Saint Agnes and Palazzo Pamphili palace. The famous Piazza di Spagna, from which to the Trinita dei Monti church leads the grandiose Spanish Steps of Scaglant di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain near Palazzo Poli Palace and the Church of San Vincenzo e Anastacio, the ancient Castle of Castel Sant -Angelo.
Separate attention is given to the numerous churches of the capital: St. Laurentis, St. Lorenzo-Fuori-le-Mura, Santa Maria Maggiore and St. Ignazio, the Basilica of St. John Lateran and St. Paul, the cathedrals of St. John the Baptist and San Paolo-Fuori- le-Moore, as well as the famous Sistine Chapel with paintings by Michelangelo.
