Walking: We walked and did "pay as you go"
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: Our hotel was centrally located for the places we wanted to visit, so that's why we chose to walk to most places and then take the subway for those who weren't that close. We also plan so that we can "hit" several adjacent sights on the same zone.

    For subway tickets, we chose to buy a BIT, valid for 1 trip within 75 minutes.

    Always remember to validate your ticket and keep it with you throughout your whole journey. You don't want to get a juicy fine because you either didn't validate your ticket or didn't have one, if a controller catches you.

    The link below will give you updated info about the transportation tickets and a useful route planner.

    Pictures coming up.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Most of those who visit Rome via Ciampino airport know about the Schiaffini/Cotral buses (departing from Via Giolitti). While looking for where the buses leave from Termini, I found 2 other bus companies that offer transfer Termini-Ciampino and back:

    - Terravision: departs from Via Marsala and costs 8€ (as of Dec 2008) one way. They recommend that you take a bus 3 hours before your flight leaves.
    - SIT Bus Shuttle: departs from Via Marsala, in front of the Automobile Club d'Italia and costs 6€ (as of Dec 2008) one way. This is the company we chose because their timetable worked for us the best. We bought the tickets on the spot but you can buy them online too.

     Wonderful Rome page with amazing photograph of the Colosseum. Bring back fond memories of our trip to that city several years ago. The view from the Dome of St. Peter's over the city of Rome is truly amazing! ~ho & pang
