    Both cities are nice but I much prefer Rome. More to see and do in the city. Venice is lovely for a couple of days but I didn't think there was exactly much to do there.

    I've been to both, to Rome on a school tour, Venice independently, and I'm now living in Turin (which is also lovely).

    They're both beautiful cities -

    But there is a huge crime problem in Rome, it's famous even among Italians. When I went there with my school back in 2006, 17 of the 40 girls had money stolen, or had someone try to unsuccessfully steal money. Even more so than the other European capital cities - I've been to Paris and Barcelona as well, and Rome certainly seemed worse. That said, if you keep your wits about you, have a bit of common sense, it is a bit more culturally rich than Venice.

    I went on a school trip in second year to Venice. We started in Milan(went to that stadium sans siro) and went to Lake Garda(we went to the theme park which was AMAZING) and then we went to Venice for literally a day I think. Venice was TERRIBLE! like for the first hour it was nice, but after that it was really bad. Our trip was entitled 'Venice trip' but we only stayed in Venice for a day.

    I haven't been to Rome but my parents have been their multiple times and they LOVE it. I'd say younger people would like it too, especially if you like history and that(which my mum doesn't, but she still loves Rome).

    I'd say vote for ROME!

    Definitely Rome. While Venice is wonderful and worth a visit, Rome would suit ye better. As for the pick-pocketing thing, a lot of it is common sense.
