This is a lot of info crammed into one post. What time of year was it? It looked less crowded than I thought and certainly cheaper.
I think the rest of the world has caught up in prices. 2 Euro for a bottle of water or 150 for a hotel really isn't that expensive compared to other popular tourist destinations.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your kind words. This post was from my summer trip to Rome. A really unforgettable experience. You're right. Compared to many other popular destinations, the prices in Rome can feel quite reasonable, especially if you're strategic about where you eat and stay
