You may be considering going to Rome by plane directly from Turkey, or at any point in your European tour that covers many cities.. In my Rome transportation guide; How to get to Rome, Rome airport transfer and Rome transportation prices provide information about Rome, such as types of city transportation and public transportation cards. I will try to give information that I think will be useful to visitors.. For Places to see in Rome, you can review my article WHERE TO VISIT IN ROME, which I have explained by grouping them according to their locations, with routes.
Pay attention when choosing a hotel in Rome WHERE TO STAY IN ROME is also yours for essentials, hotel prices and hotel recommendations.
Reaching by Air – Rome Airports
The direct flight from Istanbul to Rome takes just over 2 hours. If you boarded from Turkey, you will land at Leonardo da Vinci or better known as Fiumicino (FCO) Airport. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and Alitalia have direct flights, moreover, if you follow up and buy in advance, you can have a very affordable chance.. I went with Alitalia, if the price really makes a difference, you can go, but I didn’t like it much, they don’t serve food.. I think it was in the standards of a cheap flight company rather than a national airline.
Airport Transportation – Rome Airport Transfer
The cheapest way to reach the city from Fiumicino Airport is to use a bus. It takes 55 minutes to get to the Termini stop in the city center with the bus company Terravision that leaves every 20 minutes.. One way ticket, 5 Euros and round trip 9 Euros.
Castel San’t Angelo (Castle of the Holy Angel)
If your accommodation is close to Castel San’t Angelo (Castle of the Holy Angel) and the Vatican, you can choose the buses of the company called SIT, whose one-way ticket is 6 Euros. It may be more logical to do so, they have stops in that area.. Click for the website.
Finally, if your accommodation is in the south of the city (a little further from the Colosseum, around the Piramide stop on the B line of the metro) FULL company has flights to the station named Ostiense Station for 5 Euros one way. Click for the website.
If you want to use the train instead of the bus, the prices are double, the journey time is half The trains of Leonardo Express to Termini stop are halfway. It takes hours and one way tickets are 14 Euros.. Those who want to pay 8 – 10 Euros more per person so that I can save 25 minutes can choose
Fontana di Trevi (Fountain of Love)
If you say “We have a suitcase, we already have the same amount of money”, you can also use a taxi. They fixed the price of the city center from the airport and it costs 48 Euros.. How far is the area called the city center where this price is valid, and how much is added to the price?
Foro Romano (Roman Forum)
The name of the other airport in Rome is Ciampino (CIA) Airport. You can’t go here from Turkey (currently), but if you arrive in Rome from a place in Europe by using companies that provide cheap flights such as Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Wizz Air, it is possible to land at Ciampino Airport.. But the good news is; the airport where such airlines land is too far from the city center, this time it’s not like that. In fact, the journey to the center takes less time.
To the city center we have similar options with Fiumicino Airport to go. Terravision is again our number one option and the prices are the same. It takes 40 minutes to get to Termini station.
Pantheon
If your accommodation is in the south of the city, it may not make much sense to go as far as Termini and then return by metro.. Find the buses going to Anagnina, which is the first/last stop of the A line of the metro, and after a short 10-minute journey with these buses, get yourself on the metro.
For those who want to take a taxi, the price is fixed. , 30 Euros to the center.
There are other companies and options for both airports that I haven’t counted; If you are more comfortable with the features such as the destination, price, departure time, you prefer them.
Transportation to Rome by Train
If you came to Rome by train from another city in Europe, you will come to the Termini Station that I just mentioned, because this is the main train station of the city.. Since it is located at the intersection of the metros and in a very central location, there is no problem afterwards.
There are many other train stations, large and small, but I do not think you will use them, if you do, you will get off at Termini. Try to get to or the nearest metro stop.
Villa Borghese (Borghese Gardens)
Those who ask how to get to Rome by train or where can I go can check Trenitalia‘s website.. Here.
Bus Transportation to Rome
Faster and more The train is a more preferred method for intercity travel, due to its comfort and the fact that the prices are almost the same; but you may still want to check the buses. Most intercity buses to and from Rome use the location of the Tiburtina train station. The closest metro stop here is Tiburtina with the same name.
For options, you can check the website of Europe’s popular bus company Eurolines.. Of course, there are other companies, search the internet with the name of your destination (like “rome to venice bus”).
Rome City Transportation
Although walking is the best way to explore Rome, public transport may be needed from time to time.
Colosseum (Colosseum)
The logic of public transport is very simple, like in London, paying different fares according to regions or hours. which does not. The same ticket passes on the bus, metro and city train lines. It is not valid for airport and Vatican transportations.
Single-use ticket is 1.50 Euros and free transfer can be made within 100 minutes.. Daily ticket 7, two-day ticket 12.50, three-day ticket 18 Euro and weekly ticket 24 Euro. After operating the start date (called ‘validate’), you can use it unlimitedly during the validity period.. The concept of day is considered to be 24 hours, not calendar days.. (If you buy the daily ticket at 23:00, it will continue until 23:00 the next day).
Piazza Venezia ( Venice Square)
To get on the subway, you have to pass through the ticket barriers that open and close, so we can say that a ticket must be bought for the subway.. You can easily find the place you want to go, as there are stops bearing their names for most of the places to see in my article.. In my article, I have indicated the nearest metro stop for each place, you can review it.
There are two metro lines, Line A and Line B, you will find the map everywhere when you go.
There are ticket scanners on buses and trams, which we often see in many European cities.. You are expected to have your ticket scanned (validated) by the machine while boarding, if you come across the control, ‘unscrapped ticket’ is considered equal to ‘no ticket’. I had taken the bus for short trips several times and had not bought a ticket.. I got lucky and didn’t run into the check. Check out which lines are passing for your nearest stop and where it is going, and if it works for you, get on, that’s what I did.. The stop information is sufficient.
The famous fuchsia flowers of the Spanish Steps
There is a card called Roma Pass Card to enter museums and historical places for free. There are two- or three-day varieties; prices 28 and 38.50 euros. You can enter for free to two places of your choice for one and three days for the two-day. You don’t have to wait in line by going through the Roma Pass turnstile at other ticketed places.. It also provides other discounts and includes a detailed city map.. I don’t think it’s necessary because it’s a bit expensive, you wouldn’t spend all your time visiting a museum in such a beautiful city.. But there are those who think it is very useful.. As for why I explained these in the transportation title; Free city transportation with Roma Pass Card. Note that this does not include airport or Vatican transports (and Vatican museums). For detailed information about Roma Pass Card, you can check the website.
Motorcycles are preferred by locals for urban transportation..
Collect the price of the transportation ticket I just mentioned, with the number of days that suits you, plus the entrance fees for one or two of the most expensive places you want to see in Rome (depending on which variant of the Rome Pass Card you are comparing). I mentioned the entrance fees in my article on Places to Visit in Rome.. Compare the amount you found with the Rome Pass Card fee. Take whichever makes sense.. For me, this calculation was:
“I usually walk around, so I don’t need to buy a daily/three-day/weekly transportation card. I take the metro approximately 6 times during two days, each of them costs 9 Euros from 1.5 Euros.. The fee to enter the Colosseum is 14 Euros.. Two-day transportation and entry to the Colosseum costs 20 Euros.. Two-day Rome Pass 28 Euros. So I won’t buy it :)”
One final warning. For the situation you are on foot, let me state that motorcycle use is very common in Rome and Italians with Mediterranean blood can sometimes drive a little crazy.. Please pay attention when crossing the street.
