Rome, Italy Road trip Q&A

May I ask you a question? We took the expressway from Naples to Rome, which should be A1. We got on from the northern entrance of Naples, and the lane we took did not have a Telepass sign, nor did it have a horizontal bar blocking it. But when we pressed the button to take the card, no card came out. There was a long line of cars behind us, so we had to get on the expressway and go to Rome. As a result, we got a ticket, which should be a fine. The normal expressway fee from Naples to Rome should have been paid at the exit manned by staff. We still have to pay more than 60 euros at another place ourselves, because we don't think we took the wrong lane. So I wrote an email to Telepass's website to appeal, but more than 10 days have passed and we still haven't received a response. The ticket says we must pay within 15 days, otherwise there will be a fine. May I ask if you have encountered a similar situation and what should we do next? Thank you ? Italy Q&A

Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I have a question to ask: a few days ago, I bought tickets for the Uffizi Gallery on Fliggy, and two days later I received a confirmation email. However, I had booked a slot for 2 PM, but the merchant had booked one for 8 AM. I admit that I clicked on the afternoon option first, but there was a box below the comment box that still had 8 AM in it, so I cannot change or refund the booking. I was wondering if the morning tickets can be used in the afternoon? Because I will still be in Rome on the morning of September 25th ? Italy Q&A

Today I went to the Colosseum and met a dishonest volunteer. I had changed my online appointment for a skip-the-line ticket and asked him where to queue. He said that the Colosseum was full and it would take 2 hours to enter, unless you joined a group and paid 64 euros to enter quickly. I didn't believe him and asked the staff on site. I was able to enter the venue without queuing very smoothly. So everyone be careful. However, the tourists who queued for 2 hours in the sun on site were really amazing ? Italy Q&A

I am in Rome now. In the subway, I met a pickpocket. There were three or four people in a group. They took advantage of getting on the car to separate us three people. Two of them blocked our sight to look at the small bag (all of which were small bags slung in front of us) with their clothes, trying to open the zipper to steal money. My companion, because her hand was always holding the small bag, only opened half of the zipper, which was discovered by her. I felt someone touching my small bag and found that the zipper had been opened when I looked down. The pickpocket also tried to talk to me, distracting my attention. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and there was no loss ? Italy Q&A

If you haven't picked up the car yet, you can cancel it. If you booked with Avis at Rome Fiumicino, hurry up and cancel. They don't have the car model you booked, their service attitude is poor, and they automatically add insurance through 'upgrading the car model' without your consent. When I went to pick up the car on the 10th, I had to wait for at least two hours, at least! They can give you all the annoying things you can think of when renting a car. The most annoying thing is that I booked an Audi A3, but they claimed to upgrade me and gave me a two-door Fiat 500c instead! How can anyone travel with two large suitcases in a two-door car? Before I got the car, they kept saying it's similar to an Audi and definitely enough. After waiting for two hours, I finally got the car. Do I have to return it and wait for another two hours ?

I just returned to my country, and overall it was safe and sound. I didn't encounter any thieves, and my car was also in good condition. First of all, the safety education is quite sufficient, and the journey was like fighting monsters, but in reality it wasn't that scary. Italy's famous attractions not only have police, but also armored vehicles and armed soldiers, making it difficult to imagine how thieves and scammers would operate. Secondly, don't be tempted to park on the roadside. I always use paid parking lots, and there are people watching over them in Pisa. In addition, Italy may have an average economic situation, which is reflected not only in prices, but also in the scarcity of black people. Even in the capital Rome, there are slightly more black people, but even they look down on Italy. Finally, let's talk about ztl. Italy's historic districts are relatively small and essentially tourist attractions, so parking outside the ztl will not cause much inconvenience ? Italy Q&A

The enthusiasm of the people of Sicily, Italy, is a passionate and unrestrained one. In Rome, the enthusiasm you see is a refined routine. For example, when you go to a restaurant, the waiter will recommend two special dishes for the day. When you ask what they are, he will tell you about the volcano beef and swan roasted fish... The prices are all on the menu. Each dish is about 25 euros, not bad, right? When you're halfway through the meal, they will bring you a glass of ice wine, telling you it's complimentary, and shake hands with you... As for the swan roasted fish, they will enthusiastically ask if you need help opening it. I firmly say no, but they will still help you open it as if they didn't hear me... Let's talk about the bill. When you pay, they will tell you it's 293 euros, plus a 10% service charge, and fish is charged by weight (the fish is at most 1.5 pounds, and the beef is only the size of a fist, definitely not 2 pounds), and the water before the meal is 10 euros. Also, when taking a taxi, make sure to use the meter... And there are a lot of pickpockets there, so be careful of women wearing scarves. Even if you put your bag in front of you, it won't help. They will use the scarf to block your line of sight... They usually work in groups... Even so, Italy is still very, very beautiful. It feels like walking in a historical museum, and shopping is also very enjoyable... Wishing friends a pleasant journey ? Italy Q&A

Oh oh, I live nearby and plan to go shoot night scenes the night before. Do you know if this tour guide is for the Colosseum and the Roman Forum together, or separately ? Italy Q&A

I plan to book tickets for the Colosseum online. There's a ticket for the Colosseum and Roman Forum with a headset that costs 19.5 euros. But the tickets are only available in the afternoon on the day I go. I would like to ask my fellow travelers who have been there if I book a ticket for the afternoon, can I visit the Roman Forum in the morning and then go to the Colosseum at the appointed time in the afternoon? Is this appointment ticket the one that doesn't require me to queue up for a long time ? Italy Q&A
