How was the ac
AC settings were not restricted at any hotel we stayed in Europe, but you want to confirm where ever you stay has AC. If you rent an air bnb, it might not have AC. As previously mentioned, ductless AC’s were visible on most older apartments.

Keep getting fed videos by your personal algorithmm that enrage you and make you so self assured that you know everything about Europe.

Went to Rome and Naples in June. Rome is awesome but I don’t recommend going there in summer. As others have said, most places have very little a/c if any. Our hotel had it but it was weak. Hotter than hell the whole time there, like uncomfortably hot, and I’ve lived in Louisiana most of my life. Felt safe in Rome but ugly arse graffiti on every freaking wall in that city. Naples wasn’t not safe around the port - tons of African immigrants living on the streets and trash everywhere. Panhandling all over the place. Our guide only allowed us a few minutes there before heading to Amalfi coast which was incredible. We’ll go back one day.

1. There are no fat carts running all over the airports.
You do a lot of walking there. We averaged 10 miles a day per our step count.
Shockingly these 2 are related. FWIW the UK does have some fatties outside of the major metros.
Their food prices are good but understated. You can still easily spend $100-200 for a family of 4-5 to eat out. It’s cheaper than the US for sure.
I was in Rome in Nov 2025 and there were absolutely the immigrants trying to scam you especially around the coliseum. But I’m glad you didn’t see them and felt safe

You forgot that you don’t see women with boob jobs.

I have seen what you have seen in Naples and other areas as well, but my point is that judging all of Europe by these popular tourist areas is like judging the USA by visiting New York. There are many, many beautiful places in Europe where you can get away from most of this.

I spent time in Europe it was great to visit but nobody can afford to live there with the taxes
It is easier to make money in tUSA than anywhere else in the world. There are however, places in Europe much cheaper to live once you made that money. Key is, keep US citizenship.
