Getting to & from Rome
You can book your place on an Rome airport transfer bus online.
Airports
Rome has two airports – Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) and Ciampino.
Fiumicino
This is Rome’s main airport and is is well-connected with the centre during the day by an express train.
The express train between Fiumicino Airport and Stazione Termini (Rome’s main train station) costs € 9.50 and the journey takes about 30 minutes.
The train departs from and arrives at Termini station at track n.27 and runs from 6.30am till 11.30pm.
Ciampino
Rome’s smaller airport, is mostly used by charter flights and budget airlines.
To get to the centre from this airport, take COTRAL bus, get off at Metro A: Anagnina station, then to Termini Station.
Cotral bus runs every 30 minutes, until 11pm. The only way how to get to Rome after this time is to take taxi.
Getting around Rome
A Rome public transport card + airport transfer is available online.
The historic centre is not particularly large (only 2,5 km/1,5 miles from the Colosseum to Piazza di Spagna)
and so is easy to visit on foot, as most monuments are to be found in the same area.
Public transportation
Rome’s bus network is extensive and functions quite well, but the metro (subway) is much simpler for the short-term visitors to master.
Public transportation Tickets must be purchased in advance from tabacchis, newsstands, bars, or vending machines (exact change only!) at metro and major bus stops.
Metro
The Roman metro (called Metropolitana by residents) goes round rather than through the historic city. It has only two lines, A (red) and B (blue), which cross at Termini Central Station.
Trains run approximately every 7-10 minutes, from 5:30am until 11.30pm every day (until 0:30am on Saturdays).
Buses and Trams
There are hundreds of bus lines, running from 5:30am till midnight. All buses and trams travel in both directions. 
Electric buses
In an effort to minimize pollution in the small backstreets of the historic center, the city has established several electric bus lines to navigate alleyways barely wide enough for a Vespa.
Night buses
Over 20 night bus lines run from 00:30am to 5:30am. The main terminal stations are Termini (Piazza dei Cinquecento) and Piazza Venezia. From these two piazzas buses leave for all directions every 30 minutes. Night bus stops are marked with an owl. You can purchase tickets on board.
Taxi
If you need a taxi, remember to look for the official metered white or yellow taxis. There are taxi ranks in many locations throughout the center, but is nearly impossible to hail one driving down the streets, particularly at night. Make sure your taxi is metered; insist on the metered fare, rather than an arranged price.
To call for a taxi within Rome, try 06 3570, 06 4994, 06 6645, 06 5551, or 06 8822.
Renting bikes or scooters
Although most of the sights in Rome are within walking distance or accessible by public transportation, two wheels will give you the freedom to see exsactly what interests you, and in less time.
To really “do as the Romans do”, you have to drive around on a Vespa. You’ll have no trouble finding rental places all around the city. Rental average are €40-€50 for a one day.
