    Getting TO/AROUND: The easiest way to cover large distances, cheaply, is the Metro. All day tickets are an excellent value, currently just 4 Euros. The Metro system is divided into Linea ‘A’ and Linea ‘B’ that cross paths only at Termini Train Station. Even the farthest metro stops take about 15 minutes to get to Termini. This will give you access to cheaper and better hotels. Mornings and afternoons on weekdays get very busy around central Rome, so be prepared to push yourself onto a train. You need to be quick as the trains do not hang about. Keep your valuables safe! You may also be serenaded by street musicians on the trains. The metro stops are relatively clean and are safe. The odd beggar looks at you, just ignore them. Buy a good map and it will show all the metro stops.

    The Cavour area is good for restaurants.

    Airports from/to Rome: FROM/TO THE AIRPORT - (Fiumicino)

    Getting TO/AROUND: Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (Fiumicino) is the main Roman airport and is about 29 kilometers (18 miles) by road from Rome. Taxis are expensive and the bus takes forever. There is a better way. The direct train! It is called the LEONARDO EXPRESS and it leaves every 30 minutes from the Airport. Non-stop and a gentle 35 minute ride straight to Termini Train Station. Termini is the central train AND metro station. It just could not be easier! It leaves and arrives at gates 28/29 (pictured) in Termini.

    There is no need to pre-book the journey from the airport! Just claim your bags at your terminal and follow the signs for the train. Tickets are on sale before you board. Easy.

    At Termini: Allow a good 10 minutes to walk to gate 28/29. It is on the far right hand side and a very long walk to get there.

    Enjoy Rome!

    Also, you can look at Trenitalia’s website for connecting trains to other great Itaian cities:

     The gladiators have proliferated greatly since your visit. In December they were all over the place.

     I am especially infatuated w/the gladiator in the doo rag and sneakers. Uno bello rigazzo.
