Advice for Rome/Florence trip.

[SacredSoul]

Gear is a very basic gear. D5100 with kit lens. Might bring a tripod along. Any places of interest I shouldnt miss? And I know some places will be nicer at night so if you got any inside information on which place, it'd be good

Visited Rome and Florence last year.

Rome, we mostly visited the usual tourist spots : Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, etc..
Spent one day for Vatican city, and another one day for a day trip to see the ruins of Pompei....
You could consider a side trip from Florence to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Its quite near from Florence

Ah noted. Thank you. Its only going to be a 8 days trip so can try to squeeze in Pisa.

Hello

I've started a thread sharing my experience in Rome/Florence/Venice, you could read it here Rome/Florence/Venice

I would definitely recommend to visit Venice if you have the time.

I've recreated the album in my Facebook, check it out LookingEyes Photography | Facebook

Hello, I thought of asking a question here, since it's to Italy. I will be traveling there albeit in a tour group, but may I ask if there is a high risk of theft there? I am bringing my 60D, not the most expensive gear but still dear to me.

Hi AhKar

Theft/pick pocket are common in tourist area. Just be more alert and use your common sense, dont attract attention...and stay away from quiet places and side lanes.
