Once upon a time, as a brand new tourist, I wanted to cram in as much as possible, typical middle class mentality of trying to get your money's worth till we spent 2 weeks only in Paris. Now looking forward to 7 days in AMS only!

We lived in Rome for 2 years and have been back 20+ times since. On every visit we still find new things to see and do, sights and places we hadn't visited before... 2500 years of history cannot be ticked off in a 3 day itinerary. <br /><br /><br />So one month in Rome to us sounds like a great way to get started!

Your first picture shows crowds can be a problem, but what you correctly point out is that apart from the 4 strategies I listed above, there is another one to deal with this problem: timing. <br /><br />I fully agree with you in that respect- your timing can have a huge impact on your experience and if you're an early riser you can have those streets that are crowded at day time all to yourself. <br /><br />Unfortunately that strategy is less successful with places that have fixed opening hours like the Louvre- although even there there timing can make a real difference. Time of the day as well as time of the week or year. <br /><br />Happy travels!MinorSightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549200479025705883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543757720649846833.post-1505186249142856842015-09-16T21:56:43.088+02:002015-09-16T21:56:43.088+02:00Well, I have to disagree, there are lots of places...Well, I have to disagree, there are lots of places that can be seen with thousands of other people as well as without them.
