    Getting TO/AROUND: Though Rome only has two subway lines (crisscrossing at Termini train station), the lines generally run fairly close to the main attractions. For example, the Colosseo station sits across the street from the arena. The Spagna station requires a short march of a few hundred feet to the Spanish Steps, but the Ottaviano station (nearest to St Peter's) enforces a hike of several city blocks. Tickets (again paid receipts for everything!) must be validated before taking the trains. The average Italian's contempt for such paperwork can be seen in the heaps of confetti throughout the city, primarily stacked between the subway tracks themselves.
