Rome Airport Transfers

Tips for Visiting Rome

‍Plan Your Visits to Major Attractions‍‍

• ‍Colosseum and Vatican: Both are incredibly popular and can have long lines at the ticket office. We suggest booking tickets in advance online to help save some time.
• ‍Off-Peak Hours: Visit major sites early in the morning or late in the afternoon as they can sometimes have smaller crowds at those times.

‍Explore Beyond the Main Sites

• ‍‍‍Lesser Known Areas: Wander through neighbourhoods like 'Trastevere', 'Monti', and 'Testaccio' to experience local life, find charming streets, and discover lesser-known historical sites.
• ‍Local Markets: Visit markets like 'Campo de' Fiori' or 'Mercato Testaccio' for fresh produce, local delicacies, and a glimpse into everyday Roman life.

‍Use Public Transport and Walk

• ‍Metro and Buses: Rome's metro and bus systems are efficient and can help you get around the city easily. Our Roma Pass or a transport pass can save you money if you plan to use public transport frequently.
• ‍Walking: Rome is a city best explored on foot, with many attractions close to each other. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk a lot.

‍Stay Hydrated and Enjoy Italian Cuisine

• ‍Water Fountains: Rome has numerous public drinking fountains (nasoni) with clean, freshwater. Carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, especially during the summer when it does get hot.
• ‍Food: Enjoy Roman specialties like pasta carbonara, cacio e pepe, and supplì. Look for trattorias and osterias where locals dine to get authentic and delicious meals.

 Respect Local Customs and Etiquette

• ‍Dress Code: When visiting sites such as St. Peter's Basilica, remember they are religious sites as well as tourist attractions so dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered.
• ‍Siesta Time: Be aware that some shops and restaurants may close in the afternoon for a few hours. Plan your day accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
