[Healeys] Rome visit

[Gil Rockwell]

Also be on the constant lookout for pickpockets!  Especially around Trevi Fountain. They are everywhere in Rome.  Bands of gypsy’s prey on tourists.  Not trying to scare you, but I’ve been there several times and you have to be vigilant.  Keep valuables inside your shirt, not in your hip pocket.  Wear pants with zipper pockets.   

Check out the link below or just google the subject.  Here is one article that gives tips:

Not trying to scare you off, but it is a large city with and with that comes the inevitable crime.  Enjoy the city but just be careful.

If it is only 3 days in Rome enjoy the small restaurants and cafe's. Practically all are good. Remember eating and drinking out is a culture in Italy. Do not expect huge portions. Enjoy the excellent food, wines and coffee. Italians are natural hosts. Places to see: plenty but if it is your first time you have to see the Forum Romanum and the Coloseum. That will take care for most of 2 days. Just wander around and take in the atmosphere. Do not visit the main shopping streets!!

You may see 50+ year old Fiats 500, 600 and 850 still buzzing around.

As said by Kees, there are not many auto museums near Roma. If you are going to go up north, you WILL have a bunch around ‘motor valley’. I was in Modena in December and visited Ducati and Ferrari – both were great!

 

On the positive front: If you are a car person, you likely also appreciate various other machines and so I recommend the Leonardo Da Vinci Experience in Rome. We also visited that, and it is not to be missed. See: https://www.leonardodavincimuseo.com

 

Ciao,

Howdy all,

Any leads on a car museum in or around Rome, Italy?
