Lost near Porta Maggiore
honestly you'd be fine walking in but yeah it's not the move. that place is more for reporting stolen scooters or filing paperwork, not giving directions. next time just find any edicola or a forno on via di torpignattara, they're usually super friendly and won't give you that marble stare. also your nonna's trattoria is prob on a side street off via casilina, not right at the piazza itself
yeah that commissariato is straight out of a giallo film, not exactly a place you pop into for a chat. locals would prob just ask at the little alimentari on via di porta maggiore, the one with the old guy who always sits outside. he's been there since the 70s and knows every family-run spot within a kilometer. also your nonna's trattoria might be the one on via napoleone iii, it's tiny with a red awning and no sign, easy to miss. just look for the smell of fried artichokes around lunchtime
nah you wouldn't look like an idiot but it's not really common. most people just ask a barista or a tabaccaio for directions, they're way more chill. that specific commissariato near porta maggiore is a bit intimidating tbh, it's a big police station with a lot of history. if you're ever lost again just duck into any bar on via prenestina and ask the guy at the counter, they know every alley
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.
