    Getting TO/AROUND: Rome's Metro (subway) system is very useful and quite safe as long as you are alert. Alhough the bus network is extensive and the buses run frequentley.(crowded)
    But the Metro is the easiest way to travel around.

    It's quite safe in Rome but be careful of Pickpockets on crowded metro's or buses.
    Carry documents and money in a secure bag or in front of you. Always keep an eye on where other people's hands are.

    The Metro system has just two lines, A and B, witch cross at Termini.
    You have still to walk to some of the famous sight seeing in Rome. Thats because there is still a lot of ancient Rome beneath the modern city, that they can't dig a tunnel through 2000 old years ol brick walls, mosaic pavements and marble colomns. You can see some evidence of this in the Republicca and Termini Stations.

    =================================================================
    USEFULL METRO STOPS:
    =================================================================

    Spanisch Steps ===> Line A : Spagna (from here walk to the trevi fountain)
    Vatican Museum ===> Line A : Cipro/ Musei Vaticani
    ST.Peter's Bassilica ===> Line A : Ottaviano
    Colosseum ===> Line B : Colosseo

    =================================================================

    Getting TO/AROUND: If you land on Roma at The airport of Fiumicino don't take all the taxi's that stand outside or that are offered to you.

    Just follow the train signs (or ask were the train is) and take the train to Rome Central Station. It cost less then 10 Euro and it takes you within half an Hour to the Centre.

    The trains are very good and clean.

    Getting TO/AROUND: If you are at the central train station and you can't get the metro don't take the taxi that is offered to you.
    Also go to the main entrance of the train station ( there is also an small back entrance)

    At the main entrance just observe the taxi's and soon you will find the good taxies.
    As the arive and drop people of just ask them, they drive on the meter and they are half as expensive as the taxi's that are offered to you ( these illigal taxi's charche to much)

    have fun in Rome

     Voor jou een 'hoi' terug. Altijd leuk om Nederlanders terug te vinden op deze internationale site. Leuke Rome pagina. Ben alleen op het vliegveld geweest voor een tussenstop.
