Come, See And Conquer Rome In Summer

Conquer the (Deserted) City; If you hate the crowds during the tourist season but

still want to see the tourist attractions, then Rome is the place to be in summer. Italians tend to desert their city for the cool weather of the seas and the mountains either in the surrounding area or in foreign countries.

As such, you will find that many of the businesses close down as August approaches while the nightclubs, theaters and cinemas close down from June and September. Well, not really close down as most will move the fun and festivities into outdoor areas. You may also follow these places of entertainment into the seaside town of Ostia.

But look at the bright side. Since many of the locals flee the city, you have Rome all to yourself. Or more exactly, share it with the other tourists who take advantage of the hot deals available during the summer season in Rome. One of hot deals is the accommodations especially the holiday apartments in Rome. You can almost negotiate the prices even when you book online, the Internet being the best place to find great deals.

It is not just the affordable prices on accommodations that lure tourists to Rome in summer. You will also find very reasonable rates on food and drinks, museums and galleries as well as most of the tourist attractions. Of course, don't forget to visit the Vatican, which is free from the maddening crowds in summer.

Comfort in the Stifling Heat; Fortunately, Rome was built to provide comfort even in its stifling heat. You can find plenty of tree-filled parks, hundreds of drinking fountains, cafes offering iced teas and ice creams, and many air-conditioned venues. Romans know of these amenities in their city but just choose to escape it to leave the tourists to enjoy.

Well, the mosquitoes may have a hand in the Romans feeling the city. You have to be prepared for the zanzara mosquitoes by applying insect repellent on exposed areas of your body as well as taking extra B vitamins.

Now, if the heat becomes too much to bear, the Mediterranean is just 15 minutes away by car. Go there and have your beach vacation.

Come, Eat and be Merry; At night, Rome lends itself well to eating out and being merry. The nights are definitely cooler, which is a fact that many stall owners take advantage of by offering plenty of food and drinks to the many locals and tourists enjoying the summer festivals. Go to the Piazza Vittorio or the Campo Dei Fiorri for the liveliest festivals this side of the city.

Don't miss the Fiesta annual world music festival from mid-June to August. You will certainly enjoy the live music, the shops selling all kinds of ethnic items and the food stalls. With 90,000 square meters to explore, you have plenty of things to do. Indeed, Rome is eternal even in summer! Come, see and enjoy it.
