Rome Airport Transfers: Tickets

Tips for Visiting Rome

‍

‍

1. 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.

2.     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.

3.     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.

4.     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.

5.     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.
