Lost in San Giovanni's Labyrinth
The real trick is to cut through the Parco degli Scipioni instead of sticking to the main roads. From San Giovanni, head toward the Porta Metronia area and you'll find a small gate into the park near the Catacombs of San Callisto. Once you're through, you can cross the park and pop out right near the Clivo di Scauro, which puts you on the quieter side of the Aventine without dealing with the traffic on Viale Aventino. It's a pleasant walk, maybe 15 minutes, and you'll avoid the chaos entirely.
honestly just cut through the side streets near porta san paolo, not porta metronia. its a bit more indirect but you pass by the rose garden on the way and end up right by the keyhole on the aventine. way less foot traffic and the views are killer
dude just take via di santa sabina from porta metronia and youre basically there. its a straight shot through some quiet streets, not exactly a secret but way better than viale aventino. the tourist buses clog that road. honestly its not that hard to figure out if you look
What are current tobacco prices for LM Blue or Chesterfield Blue?
tbh duty free at Riga is only worth it if you're buying cartons, single packs at the airport arent that much cheaper than teh tabaccai in Rome. also remember you can only bring a limited amount into the EU anyway so stockpiling has its limits
Chesterfield Blue usually runs around 5.50 to 6 euros a pack in Rome these days, though tabaccai prices are fixed by the state so it won't vary much shop to shop. Riga is generally cheaper for cigarettes but your layover time matters, if it's tight you might not have time to clear security and find a shop.
LM Blue in Rome is roughly the same ballpark, around 5.50 to 6 euros. One thing to keep in mind at Riga airport, the duty free selection isn't always great for specific brands like these, so if you're set on LM or Chesterfield you might strike out. I'd check what the actual duty free has before counting on it.
