When flying into Rome, the Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) and the Ciampino airports are the two options to choose from. The Fiumicino is the primary airport and offers international flights from all over the world, whilst the Ciampino is a smaller airport that is usually used for budget airlines and for charter lines.

There are several methods of transport to consider once you arrive, including buses, trams, subway, and taxis. Be sure to get a metered fare, and not a negotiated fare, if you choose to travel by taxi. Provided your taxi driver suits you, you can hire the driver as a travel guide, so he or she can make sure you don’t miss any points of interest.

You will have so many hotel options in Rome that you can find one in any price range you want. It’s a big city, but if you stay in a centrally located hotel, you can walk to most of the major sites. If you stay further away, you might find a better deal, and can take a bus or subway to reach the attractions.

St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican are definite must sees for those who have come with the purpose of experience all of the inspiring historical sites that Rome has to offer. For the most beautiful and awe inspiring ancient Roman architecture, visit Roman Forum, Coliseum, and Palantine Hill.

If you want to take in a lot of different spots, you should probably think about getting a Roma Archeologia; with it you will receive admission to a large variety of sites in Rome.

Both the Spanish Steps and the Piazza di Spagna are not to be missed if shopping is in your plan. This Roman district has everything the shopaholic will require including places for refreshment as well as shopping. None of your desires have been overlooked, and you can simply walk from one to the other. The center of Rome also has very lively markets that you cannot miss.

I am excitedly getting ready to journey around the world with my uncle. we’re all definitely excited, but i cant lie, i’m absolutely clueless when it comes to the ways of the world and how to not accidentally be offensive to different cultures. i’m 62 years old and have never known the joy of travelling to another country, so it would be an understatement to say that i am a little bit nervous thinking about trying to do the smallest things while on my holiday. i commend you on giving us , to quote the title: “Travel Guide For Rome: Traveling To Rome” i found the information very valuable!
