'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: Rome has public buses ran by a company called ATAC.Loads of orange buses and a few trams cover most of the city.They run from early morning til about around midnight.No buses run around the historic center,but they will drop u off very near it.
There are bus stops at most large tourist atractions.Tickets can be bought from automatic ticket machines at bus stops.You have to buy your ticket before u use buses during the day as there is no conductor on board.
And always remember,,,always buy tickets before u travel on trams too.You can also buy them from bars etc too,,,look for the ATAC sign displayed on their window.

Getting TO/AROUND: There are two airports Leonardo da Vinci and Ciampino.Do look for a cheap flight deal to fly to Rome,there are plenty around.
Taxis are expensive and it is better to get a bus or a train.There are buses and trains available from the 2 airports to the city centre.When you are there ,you can walk or catch buses to sites.Here is the beautiful Trevi fountain.

Getting TO/AROUND: Getting around Rome is basically on foot as most sights are very close.The streets are mainly clogged with traffic and driving would be frightening.Renting a motor bike would be ok as long as you are very careful.When walking,,,be very careful when you cross a road as traffic will not stop.I found walking around Rome the nicest and easiest way to see things and i was surprised just now close most sights were.
