1 ABOUT ROME

Rome is known in the worldwide as the Eternal City for its unique history of 2800 years. Today

Rome is one of the most visited places in the world thanks to its glorious monumentality and its

religious and cultural importance.

A visit to Rome will allow you to discover the several historical layers that have built this

beautiful city through the centuries; from the remains of the Roman Empire, through the

Medieval, Renaissance periods up to the modern day architecture that dots the city throughout.

The "Eternal city" is not only represented by its masterpieces of art, breath-taking architecture,

monuments and museums but also by its typical streets and alleyways where one can discover

traits of Italian lifestyle, tradition and culture.

I suggest you to visit St Peter Church and climb its famous cupola, to visit Vatican Museum with

Sistine Chapel realized by Michelangelo and the four rooms of Raffaello.

The centre of Rome is full of historical monuments. You can see the Colosseo, Piazza Navona,

Fontana di Trevi, Pantheon, Castel Sant’Angelo and much more.

Rome has excellent shopping opportunities of all kinds. You also get some big department

stores, outlets and shopping centres. Main shopping areas include Via del Corso, Via Condotti,

Via Cola di Rienzo and the surrounding streets.

October is one of the best months to visit Rome, the temperatures are warm (about 22°) and

the city hosts the richest of event’s calendars. The nightlife in Rome is very amusing. You can get

into one of the numerous bars, pubs, clubs with live music, theatres or you can spend the

evening on one of the many piazzas or take a leisurely stroll down one of the characteristic

streets to experience a splendid Rome by night.

You can find further information on the official tourist website for Rome. You can see here the

map of the center of Rome.

2 PRACTICAL INFORMATION

2.1 Airports

Rome has two international airports:

Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport is located in Fiumicino, out of the southwest side of

the city, 35 km from Rome’s historic city center. The airport has daily connections with

every major international city;

Rome Ciampino Airport (Giovanni Battista Pastine Airport) is located in Ciampino, out of

the southeast side of the city, 12.0 km from Rome’s historical center. The airport is a hub of

many low-cost Airlines.

Both are 30-40 minutes of taxi/car rental with driver or 20-40 minutes of shuttle train away

from the city central station.

2.2 Taxi fixed price to/form Airports

Taxi from airports to the center of Rome has a fixed cost, by law.

price of 30 Euro, inclusive of all extra charges. Other specific fixed fares from Ciampino

Airport, inclusive of all extra charges, to other destinations are:

o Tiburtina Station: € 35.00

o Ostiense Station: € 30.00

o Fiumicino Airport: € 50.00

Taxi from Fiumicino Airport to Center of Rome (within the Aurelian Walls) costs a fixed

price of 48 Euro , inclusive of all extra charges. Other specific fixed fares from Fiumicino

Airport, inclusive of all extra charges, to other destinations are:

o Ciampino Airport: € 50.00

o Tiburtina Station: € 55.00

2.4 Trains to/form Fiumicino Airport

In Fiumicino Airport there is also a railway station with two different services. The Roma Termini

Station-Fiumicino Airport non-stop service takes about 30 minutes to reach airport/Rome

without intermediate stops.

The Fiumicino-Fara Sabina line (FM1) stops in some of the main Rome railway stations

(Tiburtina, Tuscolana, Ostiense, Trastevere).

All Alitalia passengers traveling between Fiumicino Airport and Rome can take the Alitalia Bus

that is available to all Alitalia passengers arriving or departing. Alitalia provides nonstop

transportation to Termini Station and to select locations in Rome City. You may reserve the

service on alitalia.com.

For further information contact P.I.T, the Tourist Information Point of Rome, inside the airport.

2.5 Trains

Rome has a central train station called Roma Termini, located in the city center. From that,

most trains leave to all destinations.

Another main station is Roma Tiburtina, from here several other important trains leave to all

destinations.

Timetables and information may be found calling the company Trenitalia by phone

([+39]892021) or better on the Trenitalia website.

2.6 Bus and subway

Due to the lot of archaeological findings, Rome has only two underground railways called Metro.

The two lines are called simply A and B and most of the public transport is on the ground

surface.

There is an extension of metro line B, called B1 that starts at Bologna and finishes at Conca

d’Oro. The two stops in-between are called Sant’Agnese-Annibaliano and Libia.

It is important to note that both line B and line B1 start at Laurentina, but that some trains after

the Bologna stop veer off towards Conca d’Oro and some continue towards the end of the

original line B, Rebibbia. Therefore, who need to go to Rome’s second railway station Tiburtina

or who, e.g. have to travel to the Ponte Mammolo stop in order to take the bus to visit Tivoli,

must make sure that the final destination Rebibbia (and not Conca d’Oro) is written on the train.

For both line (A and B), trains run approximately every 4-10 minutes, from 5:30 am until 11:30

pm every day (until 1:30 am on Fridays and Saturdays nights).

The ground (bus) and underground public transport service is given by the public company

called ATAC.

The tickets can be purchased at vending machines or kiosks inside metro stations and at

nearly every newspaper shop and tobacco shop.

There are different ticket types available:

BIT - Integrated Time Ticket: 1,5 euro for 75 minutes from the initial validation with only

one metro ride (BIT ticket)

BIG - Integrated Daily Ticket: 6,00 Euro until midnight (24.00) of the day of its validation

and for an unrestricted number of journeys.

BTI - Integrated Tourist Ticket: 16,50 euro for 3 days from the date indicated by the

ticket holder and for an unrestricted number of journeys.

CIS- Integrated Weekly Ticket: 24,00 euro for 7 days from the date indicated by the

ticket holder and for an unrestricted number of journeys

In order for it to be valid, you must validate your ticket on the first day of use.

2.7 Taxi

In Rome there are several private Taxi companies.

The suggested company names, phone numbers and websites are:

- Radio Taxi Samarcanda: to reserve a taxi, please call [+39] 065551

- Radio Taxi 3570: to reserve a taxi, please call [+39] 063570

- Pronto Taxi 6645: to reserve a taxi, please call [+39] 066645

Please note that every Samarcanda taxi can be paid by credit card, for the other taxi companies

you have to specify that you will pay with credit card.

2.8 Electricity & electronics

Electricity in Italy is 220 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC).

Voltage converters might not be always easy to find in Italy, if you think you will need one, I

suggest you to get it before you leave home.

2.9 Time zone

The Rome time zone is UMT/GMT+1 hour

3 CURRENCY, EXCHANGE & CREDIT CARDS

In Italy, the official currency is the Euro (€), it is in many other European countries.

You can exchange your money at every bank (from about 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 3:00

to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) although you have to pay a commission to exchange cash,

usually about 5 Euro.

You can also change your money for Euro at most Italian Post offices (from 8:30 to 13:50 from

Monday to Friday, on Saturdays from 8:30 to 12:00), with lower commission.

You can also access to cash abroad at a local ATM (Automatic Teller Machines, in Italy known as

Bancomat), using a debit or credit card. Credit card is the most versatile, giving you access to

your money at both ATM and inside banks. Major establishments accept credit cards but you

should contact your bank to see what surcharges they place on foreign currency purchases. Visa

and MasterCard charge a processing fee on international transactions.
