In reality you just have to laugh when someone photobombs your pictures or videos 😂 ESPECIALLY at the Trevi Fountain ⛲️🙊😅
Therefore I thought I’d put together a list of my 🚨 TOP TIPS 🚨 to beat the crowds whilst in Rome 🇮🇹
1️⃣ Arrive early - if you’re looking to get photos without tourists around you need to arrive at sunrise
2️⃣ Buy your tickets online prior (to book a dedicated time slot) + utilise skip the line tickets - this is the best way to skip long lines at attractions
3️⃣ Visit during low season - Yes it may be colder but November, January and February are the quietest months where you’ll be rewarded with less crowds and lower prices
4️⃣ Utilise the avoid-crowds.com website - This page is GREAT! It allows you to select a date and city and it will tell you the local events that have been scheduled on this day, how many cruise ships will be docked (+ how many passengers onboard) and if there are school holidays - this will help you plan your trip in advance

TOP 10 TIPS TO SAVE MONEY IN POSITANO 🇮🇹💰
So Positano definitely isn’t the cheapest place to visit in Italy, however there are still plenty of ways to save money during your visit:
1️⃣ Walk as much as possible and use public transportation instead of taxis/ private transfers 🚶🏽♀️
2️⃣ Look at booking an Airbnb or look for accommodation to stay in just a short bus ride from Positano e.g. Praiano 🏨
3️⃣ Don’t visit during the summer - Aim to visit April/ May or October ☀️
4️⃣ Order take away (quite often prices are cheaper then eating in) or try the Collina Positano Bakery - I found this to be one of the cheapest places for food 🥪
5️⃣ Don’t buy the first thing you see (especially when it comes to souvenirs) 🍋
6️⃣ Shop at the supermarket/ grocery store (Delicatessen) - and buy your alcohol here for cheaper prices 🥖🍞
7️⃣ Look for accommodation with breakfast included 🍳🥓
8️⃣ Sit in the free section at the beach and bring your own beach towel 🏖
9️⃣ Go out for lunch instead of dinner - dinner with a view comes at a cost compared to lunch with a view 😅
🔟 Book your accommodation in advance - you will not find a cheaper price the closer you get, in fact you will find it more expensive or completely booked out 💰
What are your favourite ways to save money whilst travelling? 🌍
