Thankfully, just like most major European cities, Rome has an extensive and reliable transportation system.\nRome transport tickets and fares\nMost transportation services are operated by a single company,\nATAC SpA\n, on behalf of the local government. This makes it easy to switch between modes of transportation—the same ticket types can be used across the metro, buses, trams, and urban trains.\nA BIT (one-way ticket) costs $1.58; frequent travelers can save more by getting a 24-, 48-, or 72-hour travel pass, which range from $7.39 to $18.99. Tickets can be purchased at any metro station kiosk, newsstand, or tobacco shop. ATAC has also recently implemented the contactless “tap&go” program, which automatically charges you the cheapest rate based on all your journeys over 24 hours—no mental math required.\nGetting around Rome by metro\nImage: Marco Chilese \/ Unsplash\nBest for:\nSightseeing within the city\nThe metro consists of three lines that cross the city: A (orange), B (blue), and C (green). This is one of the most convenient travel options for tourists, as most of Rome’s attractions are located near metro stations, such as the\nColosseum\nand the\nTrevi Fountain\n.\nDuring peak hours, trains arrive almost every two to three minutes but expect to wait up to 10 minutes at off-peak timings. The metro operates from 5.30 a.m. until 11.30 p.m., with extended hours until 1.30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Check out our guide for more\ntips on navigating the Rome Metro\n.\nGetting around Rome by bus\nImage: Seb \/ Unsplash\nBest for:\nExperiencing Rome like a local\nAs metro routes mainly cover tourist attractions, going anywhere else via public transport will require a bus ride. For instance, if you plan on visiting the catacombs along the\nAppian Way\n, you’ll need to take a bus from\nPiazza Navona\n.\nYou can find bus routes and timetables at various bus stops. Most buses run from early morning until midnight, with night buses taking over the remaining hours—if you’re out late, look out for bus stops with a blue owl symbol. Plan your travel routes and stay updated on the go by downloading apps like\nRoma Bus\n.\nHowever, keep in mind that Rome’s narrow streets tend to get congested, so public buses are often delayed and may slow to a crawl. To maximize your time in Rome, consider joining\nprivate bus tours\nfor a more personalized journey. The\nBig Bus Hop-on Hop-off Open Top Tour\nstops at key attractions, and its open-air upper deck offers a bird’s eye view of the city.\nGetting around Rome by tram\nImage: Hynek Janáč \/ Unsplash\nBest for:\nEco-conscious travelers or families\nRome’s tram network has been around since the early 1900s, and is now fragmented and rather limited. It’s primarily used to get to residential neighborhoods like\nFlaminio\n. Parts of the tram lines are also falling into disrepair, forcing trams to slow down significantly at certain points for safety reasons.\nToday, trams are gradually making a comeback as a more eco-friendly option. They also tend to be cleaner and less crowded. Get a taste of vintage Rome by hopping on the 19, which will take you to the\nVatican\n; gaze out the windows to watch the\nTiber River\nand\nVilla Borghese\nflicker by outside.\nGetting around Rome by urban train\nBest for:\nVenturing out of the city\nFerrovie Urbane\n, Rome’s urban railway network, is useful for travelers looking to get out of the city. There are three lines, with a fourth under construction. Urban trains run every 10 to 20 minutes from 5.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.\nGetting around Rome by taxi\nImage: Gabriella Clare Marino \/ Unsplash\nBest for:\nConvenience\nPrice:\nCharged by distance, with base fares of $3.17 on weekdays, $4.75 on Sundays and holidays, and $6.86 at night\nWhether you’re struggling with shopping bags or sore feet, sometimes a taxi ride is just what you need. The most reliable way of getting a taxi is by looking for a\ntaxi stand\n, usually located near metro stations and tourist attractions. You can also call for a cab or use an app like\nFree Now\n, but the meter will start running once the driver accepts your request. While Uber is available in Rome, you’ll only be able to book an Uber Black, Lux, or Van due to lobbying by the city’s taxi drivers.\nTo avoid fare discrepancies, we recommend looking for licensed cabs—these are white, with a “TAXI” roof sign, meters, and the symbol of the City Council of Rome clearly visible on their front doors. Remember to ensure that the taximeter is switched on, and always ask for a receipt. Note that taxi rides to and from Rome’s airports are fixed at $50.65 for\nFiumicino Airport\nand $31.65 for\nCiampino Airport\n.\nGetting around Rome by car\nImage: Ümit Yıldırım \/ Unsplash\nBest for:\nRoad trips out of Rome\nPrice:\nUp to $273 per day\nThinking of taking a road trip to\nPompeii\nor the\nAmalfi Coast\n? Those above 21 can\nrent your own car\nor opt for car-sharing services like Share Now. However, you won’t be able to drive within the\nCentro Storico\n—where most major tourist attractions are located—and popular areas like\nTrastevere\nand\nMonti\n.\nGetting around Rome by bike or scooter\nImage: Graham Glover (Left), Gabriella Clare Marino (Right) \/ Unsplash\nBest for:\nAdventurous travelers on a budget\nPrice:\nFrom $17 per day\nCycling in Rome is a great way to get around the city, especially as the\nCentro Storico\nis mostly car-free. If you hope to avoid bad traffic and the crowded metro, cycling is your best bet. Rome has many bike lanes, and it’s also relatively easy to find\nbike rental shops\n, especially in areas like the\nCircus Maximus\n.\nBike tours\nare also available, whether in the\ncity\nor the\ncountryside\n.\nOr channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and hop on a Vespa—although you’ll need a driver’s license or permit as well as a helmet to rent your own scooter in Rome. Otherwise, join a\nscooter tour\nto zip around the city\non the back of a Vespa\nor a\nvintage sidecar\n.\nGetting to Rome from the airport\n1. Leonardo Express\nImage: Hiloyuki N \/ Tripadvisor\nPrice:\n$14.77\nThis direct non-stop train takes you from Fiumicino Airport to\nTermini Station\nin just 32 minutes. From there, you can connect to the metro. The\nLeonardo Express\nis ideal for families looking for a fast and convenient way to get into the city—children under four travel free; those under 12 travel free with every paying adult. It runs every 15 minutes, between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. Pre-book a ticket online or buy one at the airport.\n2.

Avoid unlicensed drivers and only get a cab from an official taxi stand.\nNot sure which is the best airport for your trip?

Thankfully, just like most major European cities, Rome has an extensive and reliable transportation system.\n\nRome transport tickets and fares\n\nMost transportation services are operated by a single company, [ATAC SpA](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d7619646-Reviews-ATAC_S_p_A_Azienda_per_La_Mobilita-Rome_Lazio.html), on behalf of the local government. This makes it easy to switch between modes of transportation—the same ticket types can be used across the metro, buses, trams, and urban trains.\n\nA BIT (one-way ticket) costs \\$1.58; frequent travelers can save more by getting a 24-, 48-, or 72-hour travel pass, which range from \\$7.39 to \\$18.99. Tickets can be purchased at any metro station kiosk, newsstand, or tobacco shop. ATAC has also recently implemented the contactless “tap\\&go” program, which automatically charges you the cheapest rate based on all your journeys over 24 hours—no mental math required.\n\nGetting around Rome by metro\n\n![Taking the metro in Rome](https:\/\/dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com\/media\/photo-o\/24\/7e\/d2\/bd\/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1)\n\nImage: Marco Chilese \/ Unsplash\n\n**Best for:** Sightseeing within the city\n\nThe metro consists of three lines that cross the city: A (orange), B (blue), and C (green). This is one of the most convenient travel options for tourists, as most of Rome’s attractions are located near metro stations, such as the [Colosseum](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d192285-Reviews-Colosseum-Rome_Lazio.html) and the [Trevi Fountain](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190131-Reviews-Trevi_Fountain-Rome_Lazio.html).\n\nDuring peak hours, trains arrive almost every two to three minutes but expect to wait up to 10 minutes at off-peak timings. The metro operates from 5.30 a.m. until 11.30 p.m., with extended hours until 1.30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Check out our guide for more [tips on navigating the Rome Metro](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Articles-lKJRbnlU876I-Rome_metro_guide.html).\n\nGetting around Rome by bus\n\n![Taking a bus in Rome](https:\/\/dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com\/media\/photo-o\/24\/7e\/d3\/73\/caption.jpg?w=800&h=600&s=1)\n\nImage: Seb \/ Unsplash\n\n**Best for:** Experiencing Rome like a local\n\nAs metro routes mainly cover tourist attractions, going anywhere else via public transport will require a bus ride. For instance, if you plan on visiting the catacombs along the [Appian Way](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d12665085-Reviews-Via_Appia_Antica-Rome_Lazio.html), you’ll need to take a bus from [Piazza Navona](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190121-Reviews-Piazza_Navona-Rome_Lazio.html).\n\nYou can find bus routes and timetables at various bus stops. Most buses run from early morning until midnight, with night buses taking over the remaining hours—if you’re out late, look out for bus stops with a blue owl symbol. Plan your travel routes and stay updated on the go by downloading apps like [Roma Bus](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/dlJ3X2h0dHBzOi8vcGxheS5nb29nbGUuY29tL3N0b3JlL2FwcHMvZGV0YWlscz9pZD1jb20ubW92ZW5kYS5hbmRyb2lkLnJvbWVidXMmaGw9ZW5fU0cmZ2w9VVNfTW9n).\n\nHowever, keep in mind that Rome’s narrow streets tend to get congested, so public buses are often delayed and may slow to a crawl. To maximize your time in Rome, consider joining [private bus tours](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attractions-g187791-Activities-c42-t174-Rome_Lazio.html) for a more personalized journey. The [Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off Open Top Tour](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11484022-Big_Bus_Rome_Hop_on_Hop_off_Open_Top_Tour-Rome_Lazio.html) stops at key attractions, and its open-air upper deck offers a bird’s eye view of the city.\n\nGetting around Rome by tram\n\n![Getting around Rome by tram](https:\/\/dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com\/media\/photo-o\/24\/7e\/d3\/b3\/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1)\n\nImage: Hynek Janáč \/ Unsplash\n\n**Best for:** Eco-conscious travelers or families\n\nRome’s tram network has been around since the early 1900s, and is now fragmented and rather limited. It’s primarily used to get to residential neighborhoods like [Flaminio](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Neighborhood-g187791-n7230920-Flaminio-Rome_Lazio.html). Parts of the tram lines are also falling into disrepair, forcing trams to slow down significantly at certain points for safety reasons.\n\nToday, trams are gradually making a comeback as a more eco-friendly option. They also tend to be cleaner and less crowded. Get a taste of vintage Rome by hopping on the 19, which will take you to the [Vatican](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Hotel_Review-g187791-d1225862-Reviews-Vatican-Rome_Lazio.html); gaze out the windows to watch the [Tiber River](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d191112-Reviews-Fiume_Tevere-Rome_Lazio.html) and [Villa Borghese](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190133-Reviews-Villa_Borghese-Rome_Lazio.html) flicker by outside.\n\nGetting around Rome by urban train\n\n**Best for:** Venturing out of the city\n\n*Ferrovie Urbane*, Rome’s urban railway network, is useful for travelers looking to get out of the city. There are three lines, with a fourth under construction. Urban trains run every 10 to 20 minutes from 5.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.\n\nGetting around Rome by taxi\n\n![Getting around Rome by taxi](https:\/\/dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com\/media\/photo-o\/24\/7e\/d4\/16\/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1)\n\nImage: Gabriella Clare Marino \/ Unsplash\n\n**Best for:** Convenience\n\n**Price:** Charged by distance, with base fares of \\$3.17 on weekdays, \\$4.75 on Sundays and holidays, and \\$6.86 at night\n\nWhether you’re struggling with shopping bags or sore feet, sometimes a taxi ride is just what you need. The most reliable way of getting a taxi is by looking for a [taxi stand](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/ShowTopic-g187791-i22-k12416663-Map_to_download_Taxi_Ranks_Stands_in_Rome-Rome_Lazio.html), usually located near metro stations and tourist attractions. You can also call for a cab or use an app like [Free Now](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/ZEQzX2h0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZyZWUtbm93LmNvbS9feW15), but the meter will start running once the driver accepts your request. While Uber is available in Rome, you’ll only be able to book an Uber Black, Lux, or Van due to lobbying by the city’s taxi drivers.\n\nTo avoid fare discrepancies, we recommend looking for licensed cabs—these are white, with a “TAXI” roof sign, meters, and the symbol of the City Council of Rome clearly visible on their front doors. Remember to ensure that the taximeter is switched on, and always ask for a receipt. Note that taxi rides to and from Rome’s airports are fixed at \\$50.65 for [Fiumicino Airport](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Airport-g656615-qFCO-Fiumicino_Province_of_Rome_Lazio.html) and \\$31.65 for [Ciampino Airport](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Travel-g187791-c3090\/Rome:Italy:From.And.To.Ciampino.Airport.Cia.html).\n\nGetting around Rome by car\n\n![Getting around Rome by car](https:\/\/dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com\/media\/photo-o\/24\/7e\/d5\/1b\/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1)\n\nImage: Ümit Yıldırım \/ Unsplash\n\n**Best for:** Road trips out of Rome\n\n**Price:** Up to \\$273 per day\n\nThinking of taking a road trip to [Pompeii](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Tourism-g187786-Pompeii_Province_of_Naples_Campania-Vacations.html) or the [Amalfi Coast](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Tourism-g187779-Amalfi_Coast_Province_of_Salerno_Campania-Vacations.html)?

If you hope to avoid bad traffic and the crowded metro, cycling is your best bet. Rome has many bike lanes, and it’s also relatively easy to find [bike rental shops](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d12256928-Reviews-Easy_Bike_Rent-Rome_Lazio.html), especially in areas like the [Circus Maximus](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190995-Reviews-Circus_Maximus-Rome_Lazio.html). [Bike tours](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attractions-g187791-Activities-c61-t214-Rome_Lazio.html) are also available, whether in the [city](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11451201-Rome_City_Small_Group_Bike_Tour_with_Electric_Assist_Bicycle-Rome_Lazio.html) or the [countryside](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11451198-Ancient_Appian_Way_Catacombs_and_Roman_Aqueducts_Electric_Assist_Bicycle_Tour-Rome.html).\n\nOr channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and hop on a Vespa—although you’ll need a driver’s license or permit as well as a helmet to rent your own scooter in Rome. Otherwise, join a [scooter tour](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attractions-g187791-Activities-c42-t239-Rome_Lazio.html) to zip around the city [on the back of a Vespa](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11455808-Rome_by_Vespa_Classic_Rome_Tour_with_Pick_up-Rome_Lazio.html) or a [vintage sidecar](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d15000791-Vespa_Sidecar_Tour_in_Rome_with_Cappuccino-Rome_Lazio.html).\n\nGetting to Rome from the airport\n\n1\\.

Boilerpipe Text	How to get around Rome by metro, tram, bus and more Image: Levi Ari Pronk / Unsplash By Amelia Ang Jul 7, 2022 • 5 minutes read Rome is a sprawling city of over 496 square miles, which means you’ll have to navigate Rome’s transport network to travel around. Thankfully, just like most major European cities, Rome has an extensive and reliable transportation system. Rome transport tickets and fares Most transportation services are operated by a single company, ATAC SpA , on behalf of the local government. This makes it easy to switch between modes of transportation—the same ticket types can be used across the metro, buses, trams, and urban trains. A BIT (one-way ticket) costs $1.58; frequent travelers can save more by getting a 24-, 48-, or 72-hour travel pass, which range from $7.39 to $18.99. Tickets can be purchased at any metro station kiosk, newsstand, or tobacco shop. ATAC has also recently implemented the contactless “tap&go” program, which automatically charges you the cheapest rate based on all your journeys over 24 hours—no mental math required. Getting around Rome by metro Image: Marco Chilese / Unsplash Best for: Sightseeing within the city The metro consists of three lines that cross the city: A (orange), B (blue), and C (green). This is one of the most convenient travel options for tourists, as most of Rome’s attractions are located near metro stations, such as the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain . During peak hours, trains arrive almost every two to three minutes but expect to wait up to 10 minutes at off-peak timings. The metro operates from 5.30 a.m. until 11.30 p.m., with extended hours until 1.30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Check out our guide for more tips on navigating the Rome Metro . Getting around Rome by bus Image: Seb / Unsplash Best for: Experiencing Rome like a local As metro routes mainly cover tourist attractions, going anywhere else via public transport will require a bus ride. For instance, if you plan on visiting the catacombs along the Appian Way , you’ll need to take a bus from Piazza Navona . You can find bus routes and timetables at various bus stops. Most buses run from early morning until midnight, with night buses taking over the remaining hours—if you’re out late, look out for bus stops with a blue owl symbol. Plan your travel routes and stay updated on the go by downloading apps like Roma Bus . However, keep in mind that Rome’s narrow streets tend to get congested, so public buses are often delayed and may slow to a crawl. To maximize your time in Rome, consider joining private bus tours for a more personalized journey. The Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off Open Top Tour stops at key attractions, and its open-air upper deck offers a bird’s eye view of the city. Getting around Rome by tram Image: Hynek Janáč / Unsplash Best for: Eco-conscious travelers or families Rome’s tram network has been around since the early 1900s, and is now fragmented and rather limited. It’s primarily used to get to residential neighborhoods like Flaminio . Parts of the tram lines are also falling into disrepair, forcing trams to slow down significantly at certain points for safety reasons. Today, trams are gradually making a comeback as a more eco-friendly option. They also tend to be cleaner and less crowded. Get a taste of vintage Rome by hopping on the 19, which will take you to the Vatican ; gaze out the windows to watch the Tiber River and Villa Borghese flicker by outside. Getting around Rome by urban train Best for: Venturing out of the city Ferrovie Urbane , Rome’s urban railway network, is useful for travelers looking to get out of the city. There are three lines, with a fourth under construction. Urban trains run every 10 to 20 minutes from 5.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m. Getting around Rome by taxi Image: Gabriella Clare Marino / Unsplash Best for: Convenience Price: Charged by distance, with base fares of $3.17 on weekdays, $4.75 on Sundays and holidays, and $6.86 at night Whether you’re struggling with shopping bags or sore feet, sometimes a taxi ride is just what you need. The most reliable way of getting a taxi is by looking for a taxi stand , usually located near metro stations and tourist attractions. You can also call for a cab or use an app like Free Now , but the meter will start running once the driver accepts your request. While Uber is available in Rome, you’ll only be able to book an Uber Black, Lux, or Van due to lobbying by the city’s taxi drivers. To avoid fare discrepancies, we recommend looking for licensed cabs—these are white, with a “TAXI” roof sign, meters, and the symbol of the City Council of Rome clearly visible on their front doors. Remember to ensure that the taximeter is switched on, and always ask for a receipt. Note that taxi rides to and from Rome’s airports are fixed at $50.65 for Fiumicino Airport and $31.65 for Ciampino Airport . Getting around Rome by car Image: Ümit Yıldırım / Unsplash Best for: Road trips out of Rome Price: Up to $273 per day Thinking of taking a road trip to Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast ? Those above 21 can rent your own car or opt for car-sharing services like Share Now. However, you won’t be able to drive within the Centro Storico —where most major tourist attractions are located—and popular areas like Trastevere and Monti . Getting around Rome by bike or scooter Image: Graham Glover (Left), Gabriella Clare Marino (Right) / Unsplash Best for: Adventurous travelers on a budget Price: From $17 per day Cycling in Rome is a great way to get around the city, especially as the Centro Storico is mostly car-free. If you hope to avoid bad traffic and the crowded metro, cycling is your best bet. Rome has many bike lanes, and it’s also relatively easy to find bike rental shops , especially in areas like the Circus Maximus . Bike tours are also available, whether in the city or the countryside . Or channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and hop on a Vespa—although you’ll need a driver’s license or permit as well as a helmet to rent your own scooter in Rome. Otherwise, join a scooter tour to zip around the city on the back of a Vespa or a vintage sidecar . Getting to Rome from the airport 1. Leonardo Express Image: Hiloyuki N / Tripadvisor Price: $14.77 This direct non-stop train takes you from Fiumicino Airport to Termini Station in just 32 minutes. From there, you can connect to the metro. The Leonardo Express is ideal for families looking for a fast and convenient way to get into the city—children under four travel free; those under 12 travel free with every paying adult. It runs every 15 minutes, between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. Pre-book a ticket online or buy one at the airport. 2. Airport bus Price: From $5.28 Companies like Terravision operate shuttle buses between Fiumicino Airport or Ciampino Airport and Termini Station, each with different timings, frequencies, and fares.

Thankfully, just like most major European cities, Rome has an extensive and reliable transportation system. Rome transport tickets and fares Most transportation services are operated by a single company, [ATAC SpA](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d7619646-Reviews-ATAC_S_p_A_Azienda_per_La_Mobilita-Rome_Lazio.html), on behalf of the local government. This makes it easy to switch between modes of transportation—the same ticket types can be used across the metro, buses, trams, and urban trains. A BIT (one-way ticket) costs \$1.58; frequent travelers can save more by getting a 24-, 48-, or 72-hour travel pass, which range from \$7.39 to \$18.99. Tickets can be purchased at any metro station kiosk, newsstand, or tobacco shop. ATAC has also recently implemented the contactless “tap\&go” program, which automatically charges you the cheapest rate based on all your journeys over 24 hours—no mental math required. Getting around Rome by metro ![Taking the metro in Rome](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d2/bd/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1) Image: Marco Chilese / Unsplash Best for: Sightseeing within the city The metro consists of three lines that cross the city: A (orange), B (blue), and C (green). This is one of the most convenient travel options for tourists, as most of Rome’s attractions are located near metro stations, such as the [Colosseum](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d192285-Reviews-Colosseum-Rome_Lazio.html) and the [Trevi Fountain](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190131-Reviews-Trevi_Fountain-Rome_Lazio.html). During peak hours, trains arrive almost every two to three minutes but expect to wait up to 10 minutes at off-peak timings. The metro operates from 5.30 a.m. until 11.30 p.m., with extended hours until 1.30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Check out our guide for more [tips on navigating the Rome Metro](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Articles-lKJRbnlU876I-Rome_metro_guide.html). Getting around Rome by bus ![Taking a bus in Rome](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d3/73/caption.jpg?w=800&h=600&s=1) Image: Seb / Unsplash Best for: Experiencing Rome like a local As metro routes mainly cover tourist attractions, going anywhere else via public transport will require a bus ride. For instance, if you plan on visiting the catacombs along the [Appian Way](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d12665085-Reviews-Via_Appia_Antica-Rome_Lazio.html), you’ll need to take a bus from [Piazza Navona](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190121-Reviews-Piazza_Navona-Rome_Lazio.html). You can find bus routes and timetables at various bus stops. Most buses run from early morning until midnight, with night buses taking over the remaining hours—if you’re out late, look out for bus stops with a blue owl symbol. Plan your travel routes and stay updated on the go by downloading apps like [Roma Bus](https://www.tripadvisor.com/dlJ3X2h0dHBzOi8vcGxheS5nb29nbGUuY29tL3N0b3JlL2FwcHMvZGV0YWlscz9pZD1jb20ubW92ZW5kYS5hbmRyb2lkLnJvbWVidXMmaGw9ZW5fU0cmZ2w9VVNfTW9n). However, keep in mind that Rome’s narrow streets tend to get congested, so public buses are often delayed and may slow to a crawl. To maximize your time in Rome, consider joining [private bus tours](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187791-Activities-c42-t174-Rome_Lazio.html) for a more personalized journey. The [Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off Open Top Tour](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11484022-Big_Bus_Rome_Hop_on_Hop_off_Open_Top_Tour-Rome_Lazio.html) stops at key attractions, and its open-air upper deck offers a bird’s eye view of the city. Getting around Rome by tram ![Getting around Rome by tram](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d3/b3/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1) Image: Hynek Janáč / Unsplash Best for: Eco-conscious travelers or families Rome’s tram network has been around since the early 1900s, and is now fragmented and rather limited. It’s primarily used to get to residential neighborhoods like [Flaminio](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Neighborhood-g187791-n7230920-Flaminio-Rome_Lazio.html). Parts of the tram lines are also falling into disrepair, forcing trams to slow down significantly at certain points for safety reasons. Today, trams are gradually making a comeback as a more eco-friendly option. They also tend to be cleaner and less crowded. Get a taste of vintage Rome by hopping on the 19, which will take you to the [Vatican](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g187791-d1225862-Reviews-Vatican-Rome_Lazio.html); gaze out the windows to watch the [Tiber River](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d191112-Reviews-Fiume_Tevere-Rome_Lazio.html) and [Villa Borghese](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190133-Reviews-Villa_Borghese-Rome_Lazio.html) flicker by outside. Getting around Rome by urban train Best for: Venturing out of the city Ferrovie Urbane, Rome’s urban railway network, is useful for travelers looking to get out of the city. There are three lines, with a fourth under construction. Urban trains run every 10 to 20 minutes from 5.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m. Getting around Rome by taxi ![Getting around Rome by taxi](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d4/16/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1) Image: Gabriella Clare Marino / Unsplash Best for: Convenience Price: Charged by distance, with base fares of \$3.17 on weekdays, \$4.75 on Sundays and holidays, and \$6.86 at night Whether you’re struggling with shopping bags or sore feet, sometimes a taxi ride is just what you need. The most reliable way of getting a taxi is by looking for a [taxi stand](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187791-i22-k12416663-Map_to_download_Taxi_Ranks_Stands_in_Rome-Rome_Lazio.html), usually located near metro stations and tourist attractions. You can also call for a cab or use an app like [Free Now](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ZEQzX2h0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZyZWUtbm93LmNvbS9feW15), but the meter will start running once the driver accepts your request. While Uber is available in Rome, you’ll only be able to book an Uber Black, Lux, or Van due to lobbying by the city’s taxi drivers. To avoid fare discrepancies, we recommend looking for licensed cabs—these are white, with a “TAXI” roof sign, meters, and the symbol of the City Council of Rome clearly visible on their front doors. Remember to ensure that the taximeter is switched on, and always ask for a receipt. Note that taxi rides to and from Rome’s airports are fixed at \$50.65 for [Fiumicino Airport](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Airport-g656615-qFCO-Fiumicino_Province_of_Rome_Lazio.html) and \$31.65 for [Ciampino Airport](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g187791-c3090/Rome:Italy:From.And.To.Ciampino.Airport.Cia.html). Getting around Rome by car ![Getting around Rome by car](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d5/1b/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1) Image: Ümit Yıldırım / Unsplash Best for: Road trips out of Rome Price: Up to \$273 per day Thinking of taking a road trip to [Pompeii](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g187786-Pompeii_Province_of_Naples_Campania-Vacations.html) or the [Amalfi Coast](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g187779-Amalfi_Coast_Province_of_Salerno_Campania-Vacations.html)? Those above 21 can [rent your own car](https://www.tripadvisor.com/RentalCars-g187791-Rome_Lazio.html) or opt for car-sharing services like Share Now. However, you won’t be able to drive within the [Centro Storico](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d192283-Reviews-Centro_Storico-Rome_Lazio.html)—where most major tourist attractions are located—and popular areas like [Trastevere](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190123-Reviews-Trastevere-Rome_Lazio.html) and [Monti](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Neighborhood-g187791-n7230909-Monti-Rome_Lazio.html). Getting around Rome by bike or scooter ![Getting around Rome by scooter](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d5/65/caption.jpg?w=400&h=-1&s=1) ![Getting around Rome by bike](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d5/bf/caption.jpg?w=400&h=400&s=1) Image: Graham Glover (Left), Gabriella Clare Marino (Right) / Unsplash Best for: Adventurous travelers on a budget Price: From \$17 per day Cycling in Rome is a great way to get around the city, especially as the [Centro Storico](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d192283-Reviews-Centro_Storico-Rome_Lazio.html) is mostly car-free. If you hope to avoid bad traffic and the crowded metro, cycling is your best bet. Rome has many bike lanes, and it’s also relatively easy to find [bike rental shops](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d12256928-Reviews-Easy_Bike_Rent-Rome_Lazio.html), especially in areas like the [Circus Maximus](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d190995-Reviews-Circus_Maximus-Rome_Lazio.html). [Bike tours](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187791-Activities-c61-t214-Rome_Lazio.html) are also available, whether in the [city](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11451201-Rome_City_Small_Group_Bike_Tour_with_Electric_Assist_Bicycle-Rome_Lazio.html) or the [countryside](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11451198-Ancient_Appian_Way_Catacombs_and_Roman_Aqueducts_Electric_Assist_Bicycle_Tour-Rome.html). Or channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and hop on a Vespa—although you’ll need a driver’s license or permit as well as a helmet to rent your own scooter in Rome. Otherwise, join a [scooter tour](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187791-Activities-c42-t239-Rome_Lazio.html) to zip around the city [on the back of a Vespa](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d11455808-Rome_by_Vespa_Classic_Rome_Tour_with_Pick_up-Rome_Lazio.html) or a [vintage sidecar](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g187791-d15000791-Vespa_Sidecar_Tour_in_Rome_with_Cappuccino-Rome_Lazio.html). Getting to Rome from the airport 1\. Leonardo Express ![Taking the Leonardo Express in Rome](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/7e/d6/84/caption.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1) Image: Hiloyuki N / Tripadvisor Price: \$14.77 This direct non-stop train takes you from Fiumicino Airport to [Termini Station](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d245875-Reviews-Stazione_Roma_Termini-Rome_Lazio.html) in just 32 minutes. From there, you can connect to the metro. The [Leonardo Express](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d1585973-Reviews-Leonardo_Express-Rome_Lazio.html) is ideal for families looking for a fast and convenient way to get into the city—children under four travel free; those under 12 travel free with every paying adult. It runs every 15 minutes, between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. Pre-book a ticket online or buy one at the airport. 2\. Airport bus Price: From \$5.28 Companies like [Terravision](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187791-d2343384-Reviews-Terravision-Rome_Lazio.html) operate shuttle buses between Fiumicino Airport or Ciampino Airport and Termini Station, each with different timings, frequencies, and fares. This is the cheapest way to get into the city, but it might take up to an hour depending on traffic. 3\. Private transfer from the airport Price: \$37 per adult or \$94 per group of three Pre-book a private transfer for a hassle-free arrival. Your driver will be waiting for you once you exit the airport. Some companies charge [per adult](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g656615-d11451707-Private_Arrival_Transfer_Rome_Fiumicino_Airport_to_Hotel-Fiumicino_Province_of_Rom.html); others charge [per group](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g656615-d17800764-Airport_to_Rome_Private_Transfer-Fiumicino_Province_of_Rome_Lazio.html). 4\.
