I used to do that with a TravelCard in London in the late 90s. £4 used to get you round the entire city and you can eat well for £4 on top of that. It's probably doubled now.

Some out of date Kodak 35mm film (free) and an old Praktica camera (free) and the city was mine. That, clothes and a rain coat and I was happy :)

I don't advocate it, but trespassing has certain interesting side as well and is free (if you don't get caught).

This sounds like most of the time I've spent in London when on holiday/vacation recently. Just go there, wander, eat when hungry, wander more... Go back to the hotel after dark and wake up whenever. There are lots of neat things to be seen.

Well, in Rome the day ticket is €6 and you can eat for about €4. You can leave your raincoat at home :)

I like my rain :)

What about the grub?

I'll give you that. I've actually been to Rome btw. Apart from the train journey there and back and the psychotic drivers, it was an awesome weekend :)
