    Getting TO/AROUND: I got to Rome on a train from Paris. Paris Bercy, a train station nobody knew about, on the most ghetto SNCF train you've ever seen. Don't do it. Friends don't let friends ride couchettes =)

    I think the best way to get to Rome is on an airplane. Business or First class if you need to cross an ocean.
    Taxis are relatively cheap, but if you can figure out the bus system (just ask the front desk at your hotel) it's relatively efficient, and much cheaper too. I didn't find the subway terribly useful, until the last day, when I was trying to see everything instantly.
