It's super busy but conveniently is very close to a lot of stuff in Rome, so for day trips or if you are staying nearby it's very convenient. This is definitely not my favorite train station but it's also a super useful tool for getting around. Just prepare yourself for a bit of a chaotic arrival and you will be totally fine. The uber pickup area is a little hard to find, through a nondescript hallway, but getting an Uber worked pretty easily for us. In the past I've had no issues getting cabs as well - at least not no more issue than anywhere else in Rome.

I went to Rome for the first time last month and spent my entire trip gobsmacked by the beauty of…read morethe city. When we went to Stazione Termini to catch the Frecciarossa to Florence, I figured we were in for another grand architectural marvel. It was almost a relief to find an ugly modern train station, built in the 1940s, with a utilitarian, vaguely dingbat/carceral aesthetic. Termini is Rome's main train station, and apparently the fifth-busiest in all of Europe. It was pretty bustling both times we were there, on a Tuesday and Thursday in November. I imagine it gets crowded during peak tourist season. Our high-speed train ran on time and was definitely the best way to get to Florence and back. We spent minimal time in the station itself, but it seemed like a lively, functional place, with a lot of shops and restaurants. Termini may not be a seminal Roman landmark, but it's clearly an essential part of life in Rome.

Although Rome is a vast place, its metro is relatively small, and it's among the smallest among…read moreEuropean capitals. The Rome Metro, called Metropolitana di Roma in Italian, is the Eternal City's main medium of public transport. It began its operation in 1955, making it the oldest system of its kind in Italy. Seeing as it is quite small, navigating the Rome underground is very straightforward. The main thing to remember is that Roma Termini is the connection point between lines and just about every other transport in the Eternal City. Out of the three lines, only A, which appears red or orange on maps, and B (the blue line) are completed and are the ones that pass through the most landmarks, such as the Vatican Museum, the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, etc. Line C is a new line gradually being opened in stages. My partner, our friends, family member, and I used it for 2 days during our stay. A single ride costs €1.50 and is valid for 100 minutes on a combination of metro, buses, and trams. But we bought a €12.50 ticket valid for unlimited metro, bus, and train travel within Rome for 48 hours from validation. It was generally clean and safe; keep one's belongings close and watch out for pickpockets (as one should in most major cities), and one should be fine.

I am so happy that someone arranged in advance for Ariel to pick us up from the airport. It was the best way to start off our trip in Roma. Ariel Lorenzo had picked us up on time from the airport and dropped us back off at the airport on time. This gentleman was polite and beyond professional. I believe from the beginning of him picking us up, to the end of him dropping us off at the airport that the service was beyond excellent. My opinion of the taxi service in Amsterdam and Belgium has not been the best. So when we actually came across a taxi cab that was honest, professional and polite I wanted to say thumbs up man, finally, I get a taxi cab that is on point.

They have a decent selection of restaurants in a good size food hall. The only issue I had was how packed it was! It's extremely busy, so trying to find a table to eat at was a challenge. There is a restroom in the back, but it's for paying customers only. They will check for a receipt, so don't throw it away! The rail system in Rome hits all the major attractions, and goes out to the coast! It's an easy and affordable way to see Rome!

The preceding station is Garbatella going toward Laurentina, and the following station is Circo Massimo going towards Jonio or Rebibbia. Ok the station is kinda dirty and unremarkable overall, it's a subway and a train station. Trains from here go to Ostia's beaches, but I went in the other direction to Trastevere quarter (rione) and the city centre. The station has escalators that can be in non-working condition. It seems to be a gathering place for the homeless and drunks as well. Little research shows that metro station was opened on February 10, 1955. The mosaics by Enrico Castellani from Italy and Beverly Pepper from the U.S., located in the atrium, have won the Artemetro Roma award. The Porta San Paolo station for the Ferrovia Roma-Lido line runs alongside the metro station. The Stazione di Roma Ostiense, from where main lines FR1, FR3, and FR5 run, is connected to the metro station through the underpass.

He gave us a quick 1-hr tour of Rome on our way to our hotel. He was terrific! He showed us ALOT in 1-hr and was able to bring us to a wonderful cafe and gelataria. The next day, we had a transfer to Civitavecchia cruise port. CLAUDIO brought us to the cruise terminal. He has special drop off access and he dropped us off right at the terminal. *If your driver doesn't have special access, you'll get dropped off at the main security drop off which it is about a 2 mile walk to the specific terminal of your cruise*. *Make sure your transfer operator HAS special access*. During the cruise, one stop was at Naples. We used DriverInRome. GUGLIELMO was our driver AND guide for the Amalfi Coast. We left immediately since it's over an hr drive to the first town of Ravello. He grew up and lives in Naples and was a great guide. We stop at a scenic place overlooking Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii. Once we arrived in Ravello, we were able to walk around and WE LOVE RAVELLO! Gorgeous! We stopped in Atrani, Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento. We had a great time! When our cruise was over our transfer driver was MARICA. She was nice but spoke very little English. The next day we had a full day tour of Rome with ALISANDRO. He grew up in Rome and knew EVERYTHING about Rome. He booked a private Vatican tour for us. INCREDIBLE! He showed us the Colosseum, the underground Catacombs and so much more! One of the best guides we had. LOUIS was our last day transfer to the Airport. All drivers were nice, polite, professional and our guides were GREAT! I highly recommend using them whether for a single day or for a custom package.
