Rome, the Eternal City, combines millennia-old history with the vibrant pulse of a modern metropolis. Here you'll encounter the majestic ruins of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, powerfully testifying to Roman antiquity. In the heart of the city lies Vatican City with St. Peter's Basilica, a global center of Catholicism and a masterpiece of Renaissance and Baroque. The Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon are further indispensable testaments to Rome's architectural and artistic grandeur. For an authentic Roman experience, an evening stroll through the Trastevere district is recommended, known for its narrow streets and traditional trattorias. The most pleasant temperatures and fewer visitors await you in spring or autumn. Another tip: Use the early morning hours for popular sights to minimize waiting times.

Unterwegs vor Ort

Rome is best explored on foot to truly experience its hidden alleys and iconic sights. For longer distances, however, the city offers a well-developed network of metro, buses, and trams. The three metro lines (A, B, C) connect key points; buses and trams complement the service, even off the subway routes.Single tickets (BIT) are valid for 100 minutes and can be purchased at tobacco shops or machines; day passes or multi-day tickets like the Roma Pass are worthwhile for frequent users. Alternatively, taxis and ride-sharing services are available, with official white taxis with meters being the safest choice. Although bicycles and e-scooters are gaining popularity, it's advisable to proceed cautiously due to the sometimes chaotic traffic. For a smooth experience, it's recommended to use the Moovit or Google Maps app for real-time information and ticket purchases.
