    Getting TO/AROUND: It is very easy to use the subway/metro in Rome. There are really only two lines A & B (and additional ones to the airports). You can change trains as often as you need to during your one subway journey of course, but you cannot leave a station and re-enter or enter another station for a fresh journey on the same ticket. There's almost no distance limit either - no zones like in London - you can travel from one end of Rome to the other on the same ticket. You MUST remember to punch your tickets in the little punching machines at the entry barriers in stations, on the station platforms, or inside the buses (usually near the rear of the bus, on the left). The punching machines are usually coloured blue on the subways and yellow on the buses, but it's a different machine for the new larger tickets, currently mounted just above each old machine, although still yellow.
