I'm Italian and for seven years I lived in one of the most touristic cities in the world: Rome. I used to see thousands of tourists every day because my university was in the city center, near piazza Navona, piazza Venezia, and the fontana di Trevi... so you can imagine how many foreigners I [bumped into*] came across in those years and, especially, how many weird things I saw them doing. I'll give you a few pieces of /some advice: some of them are silly and some are serious. 1) Be careful choosing where to eat. In big cities, like Rome, there are a lot of lousy restaurants and pizza places that offer tourist menus, especially downtown: generally, don't trust any of them! Always check the reviews on the internet and possibly look for Italian reviews. We're quite hard to please [speaking about] when it comes to food! 2) Please, don't wear sandals with socks while you're walking across /around the city! You'll be screaming: I'M A TOURIST! 3) Don't do things that you wouldn’t do in your country... I mean: behave yourself. I often saw tourists acting as if they didn’t care at all about rules, order, or tidiness. I can understand that our reputation isn’t the best [most stainless], but we're not beasts. 4) Last but not least: you should never order a cappuccino after noon! 😁
