Question

Are the main attractions in Rome, Italy close together? Will they be easy to access on foot?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

If you plan to be a tourist in Rome then the ideal method of transportation is the tram system which goes all throughout Rome.

That requires tickets but they are not too exorbitant.

Then you will need to walk a ways from the tram stop nearest to where you are trying to get to.

Answer 3

Rome is a pretty walkable city. Keep in mind that walking was pretty much the only way to get around Ancient Rome, so all of the ancient sites have to be within easy walking distance.

Answer 4

The best thing to do is to get onto the B line from either the Termni or if you are flying into Leonardo then take the RomaLido line to piramidei and transfer to the A line. Get off at the colosseo. There is a tourist information stand right there that has the best city map "hands down" and it is free too. They have info in every language. Plus this puts you right in front of the Colossium. And near Ceaser's tomb the fountians di Trevi and in the heart of Roma!

Answer 5

We returned from Italy in late March.  It was beautiful.  You can see the whole city by foot.  All of the cities in Italy are pretty small compared to the US.  

Depending on how much time you have will decide if you should see the whole city by foot.  We had 4 full days in Rome which was plenty for us.  Make sure when you are planning what you are going to see you allocate a lot of travel time.  Especially if you are travelling Alitalia.  We had been in Venice for two days and Florence for 3 days prior, so when we arrived in Rome via Eurostar we were a little tired.  We arrived in the early afternoon.  Once we checked in we walked around the neighborhood we were staying in.  It was very interesting because we were near the Termini and that is where all of the ethnic neighborhoods are.  I hadn't even thought about a Chinatown in Rome!  There were a lot of small piazzas nearby and we just visisted all those that we could find.

The next day we took the bus to Testavere (I think that's how you spell it).  We found a great flea market that had anything that you would need from knockoff bags to deoderant.  They had everything!  It was actaully really nice since my husband forgot to bring brown socks.  And we found a pair for 1Euro.  We ended up leaving before we finished seeing the whole thing because we wanted to see the rest of the area.  You can really spend a whole day in this lovely area walking up and down the little allies.  

The third day I was determined to see all the sites of Rome so we took this double decker bus for 13Euro.  It dropped you at or closely to all of the major sites in Rome.  You get on and off when you like.  We managed to see the Colosseum (make sure you walk up the hill when you get there and get a ticket to it and the Palentine Hill, you don't have to wait in line this way), obviously the Palentine Hill, Vatican City (make sure you do this early I wasn't able to go to the cupola they closed at 6:00), the Pantheon, & Campo di Fiore in one day and weren't rushed.  

Our last day we were honestly exhausted, and sore!  Make sure you bring Tylenol if you are not used to walking, climbing stairs, etc. a lot.  We both used it every morning.  That morning we took the subway to the Spanish Steps.  We walked around that neighborhood and actually went to a French theatre near there.  It is beautiful.

Hopefully this was helpful.  Have fun!
