Everything you need to know for traveling to Rome in just over an hour! This is an update to an episode with a similar title we put out almost two years ago. In this episode we talk about whether Rome is safe, how to get there, getting around, three of our favorite markets, music festivals, and how to stay cool in the heat.
Edit: In the episode we mention the app "Waidy Wow", it has a new name "Acquea."
Acquea (formerly Waidy Wow): app for locating drinking fountains in Rome
We have lots of articles on onlyabag.com about Rome and general travel tips, but the essentials we mention in this episode are:
