Rome Transport Info

Public transport in Rome has improved in recent years and includes the buses, trams, metro and the suburban railway. All tickets must be purchased in advance from ticket counters, tobacconists, newsagents or automatic ticket dispensers. Tickets must be validated before each journey and there are several options including daily and weekly passes as well as a 75-minute ticket.

Day trips

The options for day trips are extensive including destinations such as Florence, Pompeii and Capri, being within reach of Rome by coach or train, though note that a day may not be long enough. Alternatively Tivoli, home to the Villa d’Este’s famous fountains and Renaissance gardens, is situated only thirty kilometers (twenty miles) east of Rome. This hilltop town is the site of numerous luxurious villas and is an escape from the hustle and bustle of Rome.

If you want to follow the Pope’s example visit Castel Gandolfo. The summer residence of the Pope is situated on the western edge of Lake Albano, sixteen kilometers (ten miles) southeast of Rome and can still be described as ‘off the beaten track’. Lastly, the beach resort of Fregene is located thirty-five kilometers from Rome. Backed by pine forest the resort features wide sandy beaches as well as a small center with a number of shops and cafés.
