I want to travel to Italy. Rome has so much history and beautiful architecture. But so many tourists..
Yes... It may take some patience to figure the less beaten paths.

Time of the day, for sure, especially for streets, Not so much for museums. Year, idnk, perhaps when it's crazy hot ;-)
Tourists (on average) are afraid from getting lost so they stick to the main st. And oh, poor souls, they even eat there ;-) They also want to 'accomplish' objectives' , so they are on a 'mission'. But, if you have time to wander and to get lost, small alleys open up and miraculous impromptu itineraries will take you to charming little places.
Sounds lovely. I don't mind taking back ways. I like this explanation. So Rome might just be part of my Italy trip :)
If you dream it, you will visit it :-) Any other places of interest? in Italy.
