    Getting TO/AROUND: If you decide to use a taxi, either from the airport or just around Rome, you should agree on the fare being metered before you start your journey.
    Unfortunately, a few drivers are not so honest especially when they know you are a tourist, they say it is cheaper to just charge a set fare rather than using the taxi meter but I can assure you it is not.

    If you are arriving at your destination at night as i did you will be often charged more money. On my first journey to Rome I arrived at night and was charged a fixed fare of 45 euros just to take a journey to my hotel which was less than 5 minutes journey, as I discovered later I was only a few minutes away on foot!!
