By Bus
Tickets must be stamped before you board the bus and not checked on the bus. The 110 Open is a bus service that stops at all the city's main sights, departing from Termini Station square every 20 minutes. Tickets are valid on all forms of transport. A biglietti per autobus is a ticket that gives you one metro ride and as many bus/tram rides as you can do in an hour and a quarter.
Tickets are purchased at Tabaccheria with a big 'T' sign outside, newspaper kiosks or vending machines. A "24 hour" ticket is only valid on the day you buy them. A useful bus route is the 40, from the Termini station to Castel Sant'Angelo. Night buses are often needed as the Metro closes at 23:30.
Another great way to get around the main tourists areas of Rome are the open topped tousist buses. These buses travel on a circuit stopping at the major sights in Rome and operate on a hop on hop off basis. Tickets can be purchased on board and they come with earphones so you can listen to the tour guide as you ride. |

By Taxi
Only use licensed taxis and be careful of private cars, a practice common at the airports and stations. Do not use any taxi where the driver approaches you first. Licenced taxis are white vehicles with a taximeter. Supplements are payable for luggage, night-time and public holidays. Taxi stands are easy to find. If you call for a taxi, the meter starts when called and so may have charges on before you start. For taxis call 063570 or 065551. |

Walking is easy in the centre and large parts are closed to traffic. When crossing roads maintain a normal walking pattern when crossing roads and do dodge the traffic, the driver will be trying to avoid you and will not expect you to suddenly run! |
