You may admire both the romantic love story and the mysterious city of Rome in the movie
Roman Holiday.If you are planning to visit Rome,here are some cultural dos and don'ts you
should know.
Coffee Etiquette:Italian breakfast consists of pastry and a cup of Cappuccino or shot of
espresso.If eaten outside of home,breakfast is always consumed standing up at the local bar.
An espresso is not sipped;it is downed in one gulp.Cappuccino is generally a morning drink
and is not drunk after noon by real Italians.A post dinner espresso,however,is common practice.
Dinner Rules:It is expected for guests to arrive for dinner reservations at least fifteen minutes
late.In many restaurants,printed menus are for tourists.Regular patrons know to ask for the daily
specials,which typically feature the freshest ingredients.Bread,when served,is rarely accompanied
by butter or olive oil.
Drink the Water:Rome has plenty of public water fountains,and real Romans (and their dogs)
always drink directly from them.Many people also refill their water bottle from these fountains.
Mind the Traffic:Unless there's a traffic light,or you are in a crosswalk,don't expect cars to
stop for you.Though crosswalks go first,in a car?crazy city,still you'd better keep cautious
and walk cautiously.
Money:Always have some euros with you.Most major hotels,restaurants,and shops take
credit cards,but many smaller operations either will be unwilling to accept them for smaller
purchases or do not accept credit cards at all.ATMs are available around the city and at the
airports.
About Soccer:Most Italian men are passionate about their soccer.Arm yourself with some
knowledge of Italy's soccer scene,and you will find ready conversation partners almost
everywhere.
The Romans:The people here love to share their thoughts,opinions and emotions.They are
creative,passionate,playful,occasionally rude or vain but always entertaining,and almost always
good humoured.
