Transport in Rome
Rome is a tourist Mecca, at any time of the day, in snow-white winter or blooming summer, millions of people who want to see world-class sights, breathe in the scent of history and see traces of ancient civilizations flock to the Italian capital.
The most iconic places in the city are located in the immediate vicinity and within walking distance. But transport in Rome may be needed by a tourist to get to the hotel or go to sightseeing located in the vicinity of the city..
Buy metrebus
This is the name of a ticket that can be used on the metro or surface public transport. The validity of such a ticket - 75 minutes - allows you to get to the next iconic place or architectural masterpiece. The best way to get around is by tram or bus, as, due to the abundance of historical monuments, the metro is laid far from the center. However, the subway is convenient to get to the Vatican or the Colosseum..
A bus in Rome resembles a taxi, a person must vote for the driver to stop. A joy for tourists is the night bus lines, it is very easy to recognize buses by the image of an owl on the cabin, and tickets can be purchased on the spot.
Taxi, chef!
Italian licensed taxis are painted white or yellow, so it is very easy to spot them on the streets of the city. Calling a taxi by phone will cost more than a similar transport at a special parking lot, since the ordering service is paid additionally. You should keep your ears open with Italian drivers, pay strictly according to the counter (plus tips if you wish).
Bus excursion
Naturally, Rome does not lag behind other European tourist centers and is ready to provide daily the opportunity to get to know the city on special buses. Since the Italian capital has a large number of attractions that cannot be avoided in a day, there are several different routes. Huge panoramic windows, the second open floor will allow an adult and a young tourist to see the city in all its glory.
You can stop at any place of interest, explore, take a walk, have a snack and continue your journey on the next tourist bus. Knowing the Italian mentality, a tourist should be prepared for the fact that the bus stops on the wrong side of the street, the route is changed due to demonstrations or street festivities, some iconic places are for some reason forgotten by the driver. All these are trifles in comparison with the impressions that the meeting with the "Eternal City" will give.
