Local tips for Rome
Churches, including St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums, require covered shoulders and knees — pack at least one outfit that qualifies, or a scarf to cover up.
Days can still feel warm in the sun while evenings get chilly, so a light jacket or knit you can carry is essential.
Cobblestones everywhere: comfortable, broken-in shoes over anything new.
