Beautiful historic buildings but very touristy near the port, pick quieter neighborhoods to get the real vibe and better prices.
Streets full of life, markets are chaotic in the best way. Food is outstanding, gelato every day, one week felt perfect.
The cathedral at sunset is a highlight, but peak hours are packed. Go early in the morning to enjoy it without crowds.
Many museums and a few churches offer free entry first Sunday of the month, check official schedules and book big sites ahead to skip lines.
Take the AMAT bus from the airport, it drops you on Via Roma for much less than a taxi, buy tickets beforehand from the kiosk.
