Terrific tips here! I love that after dark Colosseum tour. (and Pigneto is pretty great for the adventurous traveler)

Thanks Gillian! Yes, that tour is also great because you escape the crowds that mob the Colosseum during the day.

My parents just got back from Napels and Amalfi and Rome area. They were told it had never been so crowded at this time of year. Crowds are intense at the moment.

Yes, the high season seems to have started earlier this year. I’m in Amalfi now and the crowds aren’t at their peak yet, but there are a lot of people around.

Ah, Puglia! Brilliant place to visit. I'd also suggest Matera!
