๐ฎ๐น Rome Day Trip: Hike to Marmore Falls
โจ Discovered Rome's best-kept secret: The stunning Marmore Falls (Cascata delle Marmore) โ Europe's tallest artificial waterfall! When I went at 9 AM, there were no ticket checks yet (saves โฌ12!), but I played it safe and paid at 10 AM when official started.
