🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures peaking at +33°C. The sun is intense, so high SPF, a wide-brimmed hat, and a refillable water bottle are non-negotiable (look for the nasoni—Rome's free public drinking fountains). Evening brings a pleasant drop to +20°C, perfect for photography during the "Golden Hour" (19:30–20:30) when the travertine stone of the monuments glows orange.

- Pizzeria Da Baffetto (Via del Governo Vecchio, 114) — A legendary spot near Piazza Navona. It’s famous for its thin, crispy Roman-style pizza. Expect a queue, but it moves fast.
- Gelateria Giolitti (Via degli Uffici del Vicario, 40) — Just a few minutes from the Pantheon. This is one of Rome's oldest gelaterias; try the signature rice flavor or classic pistachio.
🎁 Souvenirs

- Hydration: Do not buy bottled water from street vendors for €3. Use the Nasoni fountains; the water is ice-cold and free.
- Dress Code: Even though it's hot, if you plan to enter any churches (like San Pietro in Vincoli), your shoulders and knees must be covered. Carry a light scarf to wrap around you.
- Transport: Buy a few €1.50 BIT tickets at a Tabacchi shop in Termini station so you don't have to hunt for a ticket machine later.
- Safety: Solo travelers should be extra vigilant at the Trevi Fountain and on Bus 64, as these are prime spots for pickpockets. Keep your bag in front of you.
