Good to know

Drinking water: Rome's "nasoni" street fountains give free, cold, safe drinking water. Tap water is drinkable, so carry a bottle to refill.
Tipping: not expected. Rounding up, or leaving a euro or two for good service, is appreciated. Check the bill for a cover charge ("coperto") or service.
Electricity: 230V, European sockets with two or three round pins (type F and L). Bring an adapter if your plugs differ.
Shops: many small shops close in the early afternoon, roughly 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM, and on Sundays. Supermarkets usually stay open all day.
Pharmacies: look for the green cross. Some open at night and on Sundays on a rotating basis.
Getting around: the centre is best explored on foot. Validate bus tickets on board, and keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas.
