They have great deli selections, fresh veggies and if the Romans do it that way, so can a tourist. Also as far as getting around, get a bus route, then use the buses. It’s cheaper and doing like the locals is fun. Keep your wallet in your front pocket with your hand on it. Ciao

Also for the Settimana Cultura Week April 16th – 25th, all the state run msueums across Italy, including Rome, are free.

The Roma pass can be a money saving option if you intend to visit several museums as you get two for free and then discounts on other ones. You also get a three day public transport pass included.

Euroblog recently reveiwed it in terms of its value for money and you can see the full article in the Rome Blog section of the site. The price has increased I think since then and is now 25 euros (but I would need to check that out.. unless anyone has bought one recently and could report back)

The lines will be long and the operating hours a bit shorter but if you get to the Vatican Museum early there is no charge to enter the museum and tour its massive stockpile of treasures.
Also, rather than staying in downtown Rome, take a look at campgrounds just outside of town. They are easy to get to via Metro and not as far out as you might think (maybe 20-25 minutes). Tiber Village Campground is a great place to stay.
And before I forget, check out the Roma Pass for any stays lasting longer than two days. This little pass which you can find in tabac shops around town will set you back a few euro up front but the savings are great. Free transportation, Free entrance to 3 historical sites (including the Collosseum) and discounts throughout the city.

Buy the Roma Pass. It gives you three full days of transportation on metro and bus. It also gives you admission to two attractions, one of them no-waiting-in-line admission to the Colosseum/Forum/Palantine Hill which costs about 17 euro. You could also use it for the Borghese Gallery which costs about 15 euro. You get 20% off admission on all other attractions.

The cost of the Roma Pass: 25 euros. Is it a good deal? You do the math.

I definitely had fun trying to get a drink of water from the fountains. And the coffee is SO good and cheap!
