Roman summers are notoriously hot, and even if you think that you’re used to the heat – think again. Summers are hot, humid and in some areas of the city, breeze-free. This combination of elements makes for sweltering heat and very little relief!
Here are 5 tips for staying cool in the summer!
Bring water with you; bottles get more and more expensive the closer you get to touristy areas.- Take a re-usable water bottle; it’s better for the environment and better for your wallet. Take advantage of the many water fountains dotting the city.
- Wear light clothing (light in color and in weight). Light clothing absorbs less heat and breathable fabric will keep you cool.
- Avoid salty foods and alcoholic drinks, notorious for dehydration. Instead, eat foods that contain a lot of nutrients and high water contents such as fruits and vegetables.
- Remember to rest! Give your body ample time to replenish and reenergize!
Remember, a happy body makes for a happier trip! Headaches and fatigue from dehydration and exhaustion are not fun on any vacation!
