This is the main train station in Rome. It's pretty easy to navigate, as is the case with most of the rail services in Europe. 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! read more

Alert: Termini has an incredible food court!! This review is more for their food court since I actually didn't travel via train. I discovered the Food Court at Termini because the Hop On Hop Off Bus Station is right outside. Let me tell ya, WHAT A GREAT FIND!!! I can honestly say that the best foods that we had while in Rome was at the Food Court at Termini! It is a multi-level food court with plenty of seating, and plenty of options. I mean, the food options are so diverse! Go with a group and share as many items as possible. Just do it!! read more

Another late and leftover, but better than never Roman review: Roma Termini, bustling with tourists and commuters, is an experience for those using this mode of transit. If you've traveled Italy by rental or private driver, the crammed platforms and the occasional seat hustle may feel as though there's a bit of lost charm. Nonetheless, the station offers convenience, with its assortment of shops and eateries. Understand, the metro and trains are distinctly different than the cross-continent high-speed trains. Five stars for functionality. Three stars for vibes. Airport trains are nicer, regionals are meh to good. read more

It's a terrible designed subway station, you need to follow the signs for transferring between A line and B line, or walking to the train station. The signs are not clear and often the passing through tunnel are closed without notice, and you have to make your way around. read more

This terminal is slightly too small for the amount of passengers it needs to accommodate. But still, we were able to get in, through, and out in reasonable time. Plus, Italo has a lounge in it, which is a nice way to relax before the trip. read more

A decent terminal, in a decent neighborhood. Not that nice inside, it looks like it needs major renovations.

Oh how I wish the United States would commit to establishing public transit like this in every major city. For a few euros you can travel for days around the country and see all the sights and sounds and critical landmarks of history. Beware of pickpockets. Overall it may smell a little bit... Or the smell could just be you :-) read more

Deceptively massive because much of the station is underground. I was here a few times to change from the Metropolitana to the commuter line in order to get back to my hotel. As well at the end of my trip, I did a bag check here after I checked out of the hotel and wanted to continue to explore without tugging a rollaboard around. Good signage everywhere but it's a massive place and there is plenty going on. Lots of food options from cheap to expensive. read more

I like the Termini. One could take a train within Rome or go to another city, both of which I recommend. Inside the Termini, one could get a SIM card, browse the International bookstore, get something to eat or drink, shop, look around, etc. It's all good. read more

The Rome Metro is decent way of getting around the city. The stations we used were reasonably clean though most were spartan without a lot of services. The trains seem to run on time for the most part and the stops allowed us to get around to the various attractions we wanted to see. The cost was not bad and the availability of multi-day passes made it even more cost effective. Rome is a generally walkable city but the availability of the Metro allowed us to get to the more far flung areas more efficiently. read more

The Rome subway system is very convenient. PROS: - You'll get where you want to go quickly: We stayed near the southeast corner of the city but had to be at the Vatican at 7:15 a.m. one morning for our 7:30 a.m. early-entry tour. Going from the Ponte Lungo stop to the Ottaviano stop took about 20 minutes total. - Efficient: The trains run on time, and there are lots of them. In fact, when one train came up and the space inside was literally shoulder to shoulder, we said, "let's wait for the next train," and it showed up two minutes later. And thankfully it had more room! - Easy to understand: For people who don't use public transportation often (like me), reading the metro signs, finding your platform and your stop, and navigating through Rome via the metro was very simple. - The trains were clean. CONS: - Crowds all the time: We rode on the metro at different times of the day on different days, on both the A and B lines. Always crowded. ANOTHER NOTE: - Pickpockets: I personally think the pickpocket concern is just a lot of hype. We never encountered any problems while using the metro in Rome. Sure, maybe some stares from some people, but nothing inherently dangerous or criminal by any means. read more

The Rome Metro is planned and operated like most metros in big metropolitan cities with lines going in every direction. We were often around the Colosseo stop. We went to the Vatican from the Colosseo and had to transfer lines. It was a little confusing when we were going the wrong direction at first on the first day and needed to go in the other direction. It wasn't easy to switch and we had to go to the end of Laurentina to switch. The metro isn't so hard to take once you get the hang of it. And Romans are nice, so you can try to ask questions. We had trouble buying tickets from the machine with credit. You can buy tickets from shops that are near the stations. We just kept buying one-way tickets. There's graffiti on a lot of the trains. The Metro is kind of gritty and not very welcoming, but if you need to get around Rome, it works like any other big city metro. read more

When I think of Rome I think of walking. Walking everywhere. However Rome has a pretty damned good underground metro. It is not the cleanest nor the most efficient - but it will get you where you want to go. read more

We only used the subway portion of the Metro, so I can't comment on the streetcars, buses and other above ground lines that the Rome Metro provides. We found the subway to be efficient and perhaps the easiest way to travel around Rome. Easy to operate (we had a Roma pass which allowed you to approach a turnstile, hold your barcode (on the ticket) up to the screen and the doors open. If you don't have a Roma Pass you can buy tickets at automated dispensers located in each subway stop. We never saw anyone working in a booth to buy tickets. We travelled both main lines....appropriately called Line A and Line B. To get the right train when on the platform, just look at the maps they have on the walls which tells you the stops the train has taken before it reaches your station, and details the next stops along the way. Fairly straight forward. read more

It is convenient and yes there are pickpockets, lol. We have been to Mexico City, Barcelona, Madrid, and Paris, and never encountered thieves, but on our first day on Metro, we encountered 2 wet behind the ears gypsies. I can always spot them a mile away. They have a certain look due to their inbreeding. Lol, we even have them in suburbs of Washington, DC, where once a gypsy had the nerve to hold up a hand written note begging for money for her and her children at Cici's Pizza Buffet! She had a better purse than me and all the women in the joint. A Long champ's tote, a real one and yet a lot of men were giving her a dollar and even 2 dollars before I made my husband complain to management. Anyway, here in Rome on subway, my husband said the tag team gypsies, both teenagers, one girl pushed him and the other, a boy felt for his back pockets. So unprofessional at the art of pickpocketing, they were so obvious. It happened so fast that I did not see it, only the boy giving my husband the finger as he ran away. All the trouble i saw was my husband cursing like the dad in Christmas Story. My husband tried to grab the girl, he said, but she ran away quick as my husband was holding my son in the stroller. My husband is Coney Island, NYC bred during 70s, if you know what I mean so they chose the wrong guy. My husband was cursing a storm at both of them while he tried to grab the girl, but their MO is to have one person bump into you as the other one goes to your back pocket, while both exit the door so they were both out of there fast. If my husband were alone, then he would have ran after the boy and beat him to a pulp, who knows even the girl! Another rider who saw the scene gave my husband thumbs up. The gypsy mongrels truly are the scum of the earth. I can spot them easily even at home or here. They picked the wrong man because my husband is anal and would have made such a scene dragging her or the boy to the station,calling police, etc. I don't even think Police here care because the have let pickpocketing go on for centuries without arrests I think. Truly hate gypsies. In Virginia, the women all where long skirts! To hide the stuff they steal or beg for. Last night I also saw a young couple frantically going through their belongings. The girl had an open tote...Poor things. We heard about Rome and Naples for years and we knew we would be doing busses and subways so my husband bought a Scottevest with hidden pockets holding his wallet, our passports, etc. So booyah! I never carry money or credit cards so I am OK. Anyhow, you have to be careful because this is the first experience in 42years on the planet almost being robbed. Oh, and the subway while convenient is extremely crowded and annoying even filled with young people at 9 pm on a Wednesday night. read more

This is your go to station in Rome for super cheap rail travel. You can transfer between the Orange (Vatican) lines and Blue (Coliseum etc) and also to rail for other cities. Don't buy rail intercity tickets online if you are a family. At the station they had much better cheap family tickets. read more

Employees at this station are rude. This station charges to use the toilet. Would use another mode of transportation in the future.
