Hi Rajesh!

Get ready for 3 days in Rome

Cities rise and fall, but Rome stands forever.

If one word could capture the essence of this historic city, it would be
"drama." Start your day at the incredible Pantheon, followed by a gelato
at the Trevi Fountain. Enjoy a pizza and dance the night away in vivacious
Trastevere.

Getting Around

Air Fiumicino-Leonardo da

Air Ciampino Airport

Metro

Train

Ciampino Airport is Romes

second airport. It's mostly
used by low-cost carriers and
is about 7.5 miles from
central Rome. The cheapest
central connection is by
Terravision or SIT bus to
Termini Station which takes
40 minutes and costs around
EUR 4. As an alternative, take
a bus to Anagnina Metro
Station and connect to your
final destination. A taxi costs
around EUR 30 and takes 3040 minutes.

Rome has a reasonably good

metro system that makes it
the easiest way to move
around the city. The metro
has 2 lines, A and B, that
merge at Termini Train
Station. Tickets can be
purchased at any tobacco
shop, newsstand or ticket
office. If youre visiting for a
few days, its cheaper to buy
tickets for 1, 3 or 7 days. A
single-journey ticket costs
around EUR 1.50.

Termini Station is Romes

main station. Transportation
within Rome is easier with
the metro, as the train is
normally used only for
outlying suburbs. If youd like
to take a day trip to other
Italian cities like Florence,
Bologna or Naples (or back
to the Fiumicino airport),
purchase a ticket from the
service desks at Termini
Station or in advance online.

Vinci Airport
Fiumicino-Leonardo da Vinci
Airport is the largest airport
in Italy, approximately 19
miles from the center. The
most convenient connection
to Termini Station (Romes
central station) is by train,
which runs every 30 minutes
until 11:30 pm and takes 30
minutes. A single-journey
ticket costs around EUR 14.
Buses are cheaper still and
can be booked online. Taxis
are readily available outside
the terminal and cost around
EUR 48 to the center.

Taxi

Bus

Taxis are widely available

throughout Rome,
particularly at taxi stands
around stations look for the
large orange "Taxi" signs. To
avoid being ripped off, only
take official taxis that are
white and marked with the
acronym SPQR. A small
surcharge applies during the
day and costs slightly more
at night. Signaling a taxi from
the street is possible, but can
be difficult at night.

Romes well-networked bus

services can be daunting for
visitors. You have to buy
daily, weekly or monthly
tickets before boarding the
bus from tobacco shops
("tabacchi") and tickets
must be validated on board.
Buses often dont run on
schedule. Night buses are
available (12 pm 5:30 am
weekdays, every 20 minutes
on Fridays and Saturdays). As
an alternative, the "Roma
Pass" gives you 3 days of bus
and metro travel (and
reduced attraction fares) for
EUR 36.

Monument

Picture this: youre

witnessing a bloody
battle to the death,
along with 60,000
screaming Romans.
Mercifully, gladiatorial
fights are a thing of the
past, but youll definitely
be mentally transported
to historic times on a
visit to the Colosseum.
The stone, brick and
concrete structure has
been standing since 70
AD, constructed by
order of the Roman
Emperor Vespasian.

Romes world
dominance may be a
thing of the ancient past,
but its ruins are an
eternal reminder of
what once was. The
Roman Forum was
originally used as a
marketplace in the
ancient world, but also
saw frequent
processions, the
occasional trial, and
even gladiatorial battles.
Youll still spot
remarkable details and
craftsmanship in the
buildings, shrines and
temples.

This spectacular but

controversial monument
was built to honor Victor
Emmanuel II, the first
King of unified Italy. The
building hosts the
admission-free Museo
Centrale del
Risorgimento and a
rooftop bar. The
monument holds the
Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, built after World
War I, and also hosts
exhibitions by some of
the greatest 20thcentury artists.

Landmarks

Monuments

Much to the annoyance

of his fellow gods who
chose to simply
materialize, Oceanus
preferred to travel by
cumbersome shellshaped chariot.
Constructed in 1762 at
the height of the
baroque, the Trevi
Fountain is one of the
worlds most elaborate
and romantic
fountains, with Oceanus
as its centerpiece. If
you're thinking of taking
a dip, beware of the
vigilant fountain police!

Piazza di Spagna has an

eloquent and romantic
language all its own. The
square is the perfect
place to people-watch;
take note of the
fashionable people
coming from the
direction of Via del
Corso. Explore the
Church of Trinit dei
Monti or the KeatsShelley House, which
was dedicated to the
English romantic poets
who were obsessed with
Rome.

The Pantheon has been

a model of perfection
for almost 18 centuries.
Known for its perfect
symmetry (the diameter
of the dome is equal to
the buildings height), its
one of the most well
preserved buildings of
Ancient Rome and an
enduring symbol of
architectural perfection.
Its also the resting place
of King Vittorio
Emanuele II, Umberto I,
and the artist Rafael.

Pope Innocent X was the

king of 17th-century
renovation, turning an
unused stadium into a
bustling square. Youll
see the extravagant
Fountain of the Four
Rivers by Bernini, whose
archrival Borromini
created The Church of
St. Agnes in Agone on
the western side of the
square. 17th-century
drama aside, today
Piazza Navona is home
to many restaurants and
cafs.

Youd typically visit this

square to enjoy a slice of
gourmet pizza in the
colorful street markets
but once upon a time,
the square was the site
of gruesome executions.
The centerpiece is the
Statue of Giordano
Bruno, who overlooks
the restaurants and
bars. There's plenty of
imbibing going on here
in the evening, when the
square transforms into a
popular nighttime
hangout.

Hadrian was a vain

emperor, building
monuments to himself
all throughout Italy.
Hadrians mausoleum
was originally
constructed around 135
AD and over time
evolved into a fortress,
castle, and even a
prison. Today its a
museum containing
sculptures, hidden
causeways and ancient
ruins. Ponte SantAngelo
bridge has statues of
angels sculpted by
Bernini and his students.

St. Peter's Basilica

Monuments
How would you dress
for a meeting with the
pope? Book well in
advance for an audience
with the Pontiff himself,
or just explore this
spectacular church. The
interior is a celestial
wonder filled with
religious artwork,
including Michelangelos
Piet. This towering
Renaissance-Baroque
cathedral can be seen
from all over Rome and
holds up to 80,000
people during mass.
