This is specially for Italian teachers because this year I �m going to Rome and Florence with my husband and thee-year-old daughter on holiday and I really would like some tips. ;-)

Is it safe (specially at night)? Where can I eat good food (and cheap)? What can �t I  miss? Which places are not worth visiting? What do you think I should know?

Thanks in advance!

Hugs,

Vera

   Well i �m not from Rome or Florence, but i �ve been to both. Safety shouldn �t be a problem as it is a big city and obviously it depends a lot on where you go and what you do, like any other big metropolitan city. I mean if you go to the suburbs in London/Tokyo/New York you would have issues with safety. I feel as long as you stick to doing normal stuff, you and your family should be just fine :) .. Regarding the food, when you say cheap, how much is �cheap � to you?!

When it comes to visiting places, thats where i �m really bad at giving any suggestions. When i went to rome i visited the popular places, but i �m not a  person who goes to a city just to go around it :) I �m boring, LoL, i usually travel to meet someone or to go for an event. I �m married and i have a 7 year old son, and most of our holidays are away from big cities because i feel that all the big cities are the same. so most of the time we go to small town/villages and sea-side towns. we love camping and prefer being around nature rather than a crowded city :)

If you are in Florence you shouldl make a point of visiting San Gimignano.  It is about one hour from Florence and is a beautiful medival town.  It is worth visiting and it has the best gelato in the world. I will pm you with more information.
