🛡️ Safety & filming in Rome
Rome is safe for tourists; pickpocketing in crowds and on transit is the main thing to watch as a creator carrying gear.
- • Pickpockets target the metro, the 64 bus and Termini station — keep bags in front.
- • Watch your camera at the Colosseum, Trevi and Termini — busy = opportunistic theft.
- • Avoid restaurants with touts and no prices near big sights (tourist traps).
- • Agree on prices and avoid unofficial ‘taxis’.
🚁 Drone & filming rules
Italy requires EU registration AND liability insurance for tourists, and flying over city centres is banned and strictly enforced — sub-250g drones have been confiscated and pilots charged at the Colosseum. Do not fly over Rome; save drone work for permitted rural areas.
Rules change — always confirm current local regulations before you fly.
