There are two airports available when traveling to Rome; there is the Fiumicino (Leonardo Da Vinci), and the Clampino. International flights are catered for by the Fiumicino, which is the main airline; the Ciampino is more concerned with affordability and often works with charter lines.
Once you arrive in Rome, you’ll have plenty of choices for transportation such as the subway, local taxis, buses, or trams. Never agree to the negotiated fare when employing a taxi, instead always demand that the fare be metered. You can also hire your taxi driver to act as your local tour guide and show you all of the hot spots, provided you’ve got a suitable taxi driver.
In Rome, you can choose from tons of hotels that are available in a vast array of price ranges. By staying in a hotel in the middle of the city, although the city is gigantic, you can still walk to many of the major attractions. Of course, you might spend less money if you stay further away from the city and are willing to take public transportation to your destinations.
When traveling to Rome to experience its vast and beautiful history, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican are must-see historical locales. For the most beautiful and awe inspiring ancient Roman architecture, visit Roman Forum, Coliseum, and Palantine Hill.
You can buy a Roma Archeologia Card, that is perfect if you want to visit several places, since you get admission to many various sites within Rome by using this card.
If you are interested in shopping during your stay in Rome then you cannot miss the Piazza di Spagna and the Spanish Steps. Here you will find old things, new things, stylish, and pretty things along with plenty to eat and drink. You will find everything you are looking for here, all within walking distance from each other. You’ll also want to take in Rome’s center markets; they always make for a fun and energetic visit.
