As the US dollar continues to surge and easing pandemic border restrictions boost travel confidence, US tourists continue to flock to Rome. This is helping the city enjoy a late-season tourist boom.One dollar currently buys just over one euro, about 17 per cent more than it did a year ago.

This is the strongest dollar to euro exchange rate for over 20 years. For Americans visiting Italy, this is a boon – holiday budgets are stretching further and there is more money for splurging on food and shopping while they are here.
