If you decide to explore the city on foot it would be fine, you may find a lot of fountains to drink in every corners in Rome.
Actually the city bus lines in Rome is also excellent to bring you to the Vatican, where almost all lines intersect at the Termini.
Try to avoid visiting Rome in mid of August or Ferragosto, where Romans vacate their city, even the Romans say : " Only the Germans and dogs are in Rome during August ".
Try to drink campari at the sidewalk cafe and followed by dinner. It would be more fantastic if
you also taste the Italian ice cream or gelato. But if you have a short cash, don't try to take a seat in a cafe or cake shops, just buy food and take it away, or you 'll be charged with 'cuperto' it 's about 40% until 60% more than the original price.
Bon voyage !
