🇮🇹 Rome Travel Hack: WAKE UP AT 5 AM! ⏰

Trust me—this is the ONLY way to beat the crowds in Rome! 🏃‍♂️💨 🌅 Why 5 AM? Trevi Fountain at dawn = NO people (vs. 9PM = packed like a concert!). By 5:30 AM, photographers already swarm in—yes, even foreigners sacrifice sleep for the shot! 📸 Pro tip: The right side has perfect lighting—easier to get that dreamy glow! ✨ ⚠️ Note: Fountain cleaning starts at 8 AM—so arrive before sunrise for magic hour! 😴 Sleep Strategy Option 1: Power through! Shoot Trevi → Spanish Steps → Pantheon in one go. Option 2: Book a hotel near Trevi (e.g., The Hive Hotel), snap pics, then nap after. 🛌 🌇 Sunset Spots? Skip These! Spanish Steps at sunset = "Times Square-level crowds" 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️ Pincio Hill views = Nice, but NOTHING vs. Florence’s Piazzale Michelangelo! 📍 Morning Route (Crowd-Free!) 1️⃣ 5:00 AM - Trevi Fountain (empty!) 2️⃣ 6:00 AM - Pantheon (no lines!) 3️⃣ 7:00 AM - Spanish Steps (all yours!) 4️⃣ 8:00 AM - Coffee break ☕ + cornetto at Roscioli! #RomeEmpty #JetLagWins #EarlyBirdRome #NoCrowdsJustMagic #TravelSmart
