If you’re traveling in Rome, there’s a new rip-off to worry about – ridiculously expensive Gelato.
From the Daily Telegraph:
Roger Bannister, his brother Steven and their wives Wendy and Joyce were astounded to be charged 16 euros (£13.50) each on Sunday after ordering four ice creams at the Antica Roma bar and gelateria close to the Spanish Steps.
“And when we paid up, they didn’t even say thank you,” Mr Bannister, of Birmingham, told Corriere della Sera newspaper on Monday, holding up the receipt to prove the amount he had been charged.
Cafes and bars in Italy double or triple their prices for customers who choose to sit down at a table, but the British group did not even do that – they bought the ice creams to take away.

Always ask about the price of something before you pay for it and don’t give your hard earned money to these rip-off artists.
