Where can you find toilets in Rome?

Drinking water and other liquids is essential to keep hydrated in any travel. However, it can be a reason for concern if you keep keep drinking water and not have a toilet nearby!

In my experience, in central Rome, it is be difficult to find free toilets.

There are some public paid toilets, which you can put a coin in and use.

Cafes and restaurants also have available toilets, but they, obviously, expect you to spend some money. Maybe, this is a great opportunity to drink a coffee or eat something.

My advice is to try and go to the toilet in museums or when you go to a café or a restaurant.


How clean are the toilets in Rome?

My experience wasn't great in this regard.

Most of the toilets were not very clean. 

But this is understandable, there is a lot of tourists visiting the city, and going to the bathroom is a necessity for everyone, so most of the toilets are used very regularly.


Conclusion

In my experience, in central Rome, it is be difficult to find free toilets.

My advice is to try and go to the toilet in museums or when you go to a café or a restaurant.

The answer for carrying water while traveling: trail running

Image
  Drinking water is a very important advice in life in general, and particularly while traveling. I visited Japan in the summer (August to be more precise) and one of my biggest mistakes was not to drink more water. Drinking water is very important since we walk a lot in the heat, which makes us lose water and minerals through our sweating. However, it is always a pain to either keep buying water all the time or to carry the weight of a water bottle. To drink regularly while traveling, we can opt for 2 strategies: 1. Buy water as you go and carry less stuff   In almost every place we visit, there will almost always be places to buy water so you don't really need to be carrying a bottle with you.  The downside of this strategy, however, is that you spend more money and risk going to a place where it might not be that easy to buy it immediately. 2. Carry a water bottle with you   This is an excellent option since you have water on you all the time and you can drink ...

Why I don't carry a day pack

Image
    In general, for a trip, we tend to carry at least a carry-on trolley bag, which is often paired with a backpack that we use as a day pack. These day packs backpack are usually used to carry random stuff like water bottles, jackets, cameras, etc. So these are quite useful. But I usually don't carry one with me when I travel. Why don't I carry a day pack? I visited Japan in the summer (check my post here ) and I had some challenges in adapting to the heat and humidity. At the time, I made the decision of taking a cabin-size wheeled trolley with me plus an almost-empty 20 liter backpack. The plan was to carry the trolley with me to the aircraft, put it in the overhead bin compartments and store the 20 liter backpack with essentials (like a book or a jacket) under the seat. Then, arriving in Japan, I would leave the trolley at the hotel and use the 20 liter backpack as a day pack. I would then use the backpack to carry water, a jacket, swim shorts and put souvenirs in. However...

My new bag for travel: a 20 liter Ryanair-approved duffel bag

Image
What is the best bag I can pick for travel? In terms of space efficiency and luggage maximization, duffel bags are almost perfect, and that is the reason why I just bought one.  I bought a new travel bag! I've discussed in this blog ( HERE ) that I like to travel with 16 liter Fjalraven kanken backpack or a 20 liter backpack. However, I decided to go for a duffel bag that is Ryanair approved. Ryanair official under the seat measures are 40x25x20 (centimeters). Why I have always preferred to travel with a backpack? Because it is very comfortable to carry around since it distributes weight evenly across your shoulders. Walking around with a backpack makes it very easy to go in and out of public transportation. Why I bought a duffel bag for travel? I will be traveling with the low cost carrier Ryanair, and so to avoid paying extra fees and having my bags sent to the cargo hold (something I have discussed HERE , I prefer not to do), I opted for their cheapest fare, which means I can o...
