Cities rise and fall, but Rome stands forever.

If one word could capture the essence of this historic city, it would be

"drama." Start your day at the incredible Pantheon, followed by a gelato

at the Trevi Fountain. Enjoy a pizza and dance the night away in vivacious

Trastevere.

Getting Around

Air – Fiumicino-Leonardo da

Vinci Airport

Fiumicino-Leonardo da Vinci

Airport is the largest airport

in Italy, approximately 19

miles from the center. The

most convenient connection

to Termini Station (Rome’s

central station) is by train,

which runs every 30 minutes

until 11:30 pm and takes 30

minutes. A single-journey

ticket costs around EUR 14.

Buses are cheaper still and

can be booked online. Taxis

are readily available outside

the terminal and cost around

EUR 48 to the center.

Air – Ciampino Airport

Ciampino Airport is Rome’s

second airport. It's mostly

used by low-cost carriers and

is about 7.5 miles from

central Rome. The cheapest

central connection is by

Terravision or SIT bus to

Termini Station which takes

40 minutes and costs around

EUR 4. As an alternative, takea bus to Anagnina Metro

Station and connect to your

final destination. A taxi costs

around EUR 30 and takes 30-

40 minutes.

Metro

Rome has a reasonably good

metro system that makes it

the easiest way to move

around the city. The metro

has 2 lines, A and B, that

merge at Termini Train

Station. Tickets can be

purchased at any tobacco

shop, newsstand or ticket

office. If you’re visiting for afew days, it’s cheaper to buy

tickets for 1, 3 or 7 days. A

single-journey ticket costs

around EUR 1.50.

Train

Termini Station is Rome’s

main station. Transportation

within Rome is easier with

the metro, as the train is

normally used only for

outlying suburbs. If you’d like

to take a day trip to other

Italian cities like Florence,

Bologna or Naples (or back

to the Fiumicino airport),purchase a ticket from the

service desks at Termini

Station or in advance online.

TaxiTaxis are widely available

throughout Rome,

particularly at taxi stands

around stations – look for the

large orange "Taxi" signs. To

avoid being ripped off, only

take official taxis that are

white and marked with the

acronym SPQR. A small

surcharge applies during the

day and costs slightly more

at night. Signaling a taxi from

the street is possible, but can

be difficult at night.

BusRome’s well-networked bus

services can be daunting for

visitors. You have to buy

daily, weekly or monthly

tickets before boarding the

bus from tobacco shops

("tabacchi") – and tickets

must be validated on board.

Buses often don’t run on

schedule. Night buses are

available (12 pm – 5:30 am

weekdays, every 20 minutes

on Fridays and Saturdays). As

an alternative, the "Roma

Pass" gives you 3 days of bus

and metro travel (and

reduced attraction fares) for

EUR 36.

Popular Attractions

We handpicked the top 10 classic sights, sorted by distance from where you're staying

Colosseum

Monuments

Picture this: you’re

witnessing a bloody

battle to the death,

along with 60,000

screaming Romans.

Mercifully, gladiatorial

fights are a thing of the

past, but you’ll definitely

be mentally transported

to historic times on a

visit to the Colosseum.

The stone, brick and

concrete structure has

been standing since 70

AD, constructed by

order of the Roman

Emperor Vespasian.

Roman Forum

Monuments

Rome’s world

dominance may be a

thing of the ancient past,

but its ruins are an

eternal reminder of

what once was. The

Roman Forum was

originally used as a

marketplace in the

ancient world, but also

saw frequent

processions, the

occasional trial, and

even gladiatorial battles.

You’ll still spot

remarkable details and

craftsmanship in the

buildings, shrines and

temples.

Victor Emmanuel II

Monument

Museums

This spectacular but

controversial monument

was built to honor Victor

Emmanuel II, the first

King of unified Italy. Thebuilding hosts the

admission-free Museo

Centrale del

Risorgimento and a

rooftop bar. The

monument holds the

Tomb of the Unknown

Soldier, built after World

War I, and also hosts

exhibitions by some of

the greatest 20th-

century artists.

Trevi Fountain

Monuments

Much to the annoyance

of his fellow gods who

chose to simplymaterialize, Oceanus

preferred to travel by

cumbersome shell-

shaped chariot.

Constructed in 1762 at

the height of the

baroque, the Trevi

Fountain is one of the

world’s most elaborate –

and romantic –

fountains, with Oceanus

as its centerpiece. If

you're thinking of takinga dip, beware of the

vigilant fountain police!

Piazza di Spagna

Landmarks

Piazza di Spagna has an

eloquent and romantic

language all its own. Thesquare is the perfect

place to people-watch;

take note of the

fashionable people

coming from the

direction of Via del

Corso. Explore the

Church of Trinità dei

Monti or the Keats-

Shelley House, which

was dedicated to the

English romantic poets

who were obsessed withRome.

Pantheon

Monuments

The Pantheon has been

a model of perfection

for almost 18 centuries.Known for its perfect

symmetry (the diameter

of the dome is equal to

the building’s height), it’s

one of the most well

preserved buildings of

Ancient Rome – and an

enduring symbol of

architectural perfection.

It’s also the resting place

of King Vittorio

Emanuele II, Umberto I,

and the artist Rafael.


7/14

Piazza Navona

Landmarks

Pope Innocent X was the

king of 17th-century

renovation, turning an

unused stadium into a

bustling square. You’ll

see the extravagant

Fountain of the Four

Rivers by Bernini, whose

archrival Borromini

created The Church of

St. Agnes in Agone on

the western side of the

square. 17th-century

drama aside, today

Piazza Navona is home

to many restaurants and

cafés.

Campo de' Fiori

Popular Areas

You’d typically visit this

square to enjoy a slice of

gourmet pizza in the

colorful street markets –

but once upon a time,

the square was the site

of gruesome executions.

The centerpiece is the

Statue of Giordano

Bruno, who overlooks

the restaurants and

bars. There's plenty of

imbibing going on here

in the evening, when the

square transforms into a

popular nighttime

hangout.

Castel Sant'Angelo

Monuments

Hadrian was a vain

emperor, building

monuments to himself

all throughout Italy.

Hadrian’s mausoleum

was originally

constructed around 135

AD and over time

evolved into a fortress,

castle, and even a

prison. Today it’s a

museum containing

sculptures, hidden

causeways and ancient

ruins. Ponte Sant’Angelo

bridge has statues of

angels sculpted by

Bernini and his students.

St. Peter's Basilica

Monuments

How would you dress

for a meeting with the

pope? Book well in

advance for an audience

with the Pontiff himself,

or just explore this

spectacular church. The

interior is a celestial

wonder filled with

religious artwork,

including Michelangelo’s

Pietà. This toweringRenaissance-Baroque

cathedral can be seen

from all over Rome and

holds up to 80,000

people during mass.
