    Getting TO/AROUND: Fiumincino and Ciampino Airports.
    Ciampino being the smallest, this one can be tricky to reach. However, if you are flying from the United Kingdom, Go Airways offers really interesting fares, around £90 return, flying to Rome Ciampino.
    The least i can say is that walking is the best way to discover Rome's beautiful places. I reached a point where i wasn't using my map anymore, I was walking around at random. The hills can be tiring though.
    The tramways are quite useful to get around, unfortunatelly they are packed most of the time. Besides, not that many areas are deserved by the tramways. Buses can be quite a nighmare. Overall, Rome Public transportation is dissapointed and you will have to trust your feet. The metro is ok but the old part of the city is totally ignored by the metro, probably because of the old vestiges still remaining underground.
