Getting Around RomeGetting to Rome: Dozens of airlines fly to and from Fiumicino Airport daily, so you can pick and choose based on your point of origin. You can also wheel into Rome by train—most lines run into Roma Termini, Rome’s central train station.
Cars in Rome: Driving in Rome isn’t advisable— the traffic is chaotic in the best of terms and drivers are insane.
Rome Taxis: Taxis are an option but tend to be more expensive.
Public Transport: Opt for wandering around on foot (the most romantic way to discover the hidden corners of the city) or use the impressive public system of buses, trams, trolleys, metro, and light railways.
If you’re in town for at least 72 hours, try the Roma Pass[1]— just 38 euros will get you full access to public transportation, admission to two museums, and discounts on performance and exhibition tickets.
