Transportation

It is recommended to use public transportation such as the metro, bus or taxi, as the streets of Rome can be very congested. A single ride on the metro or bus costs €1.50, and a taxi ride from the airport to the city center costs around €50-60. Planning to use public transportation in advance can save time and money.

Useful Tips
