Information on travel in Rome?

Question

Can anyone give information regarding the cost of travel tickets in the Rome which can be used for whole day or 1-2 days?

Answer 1

The one way ticket costs 1 euro but if you plan to get more busses/underground/tram then yuo could get a daily ticket for 4 euros or a three days ticket for 11 euros

Answer 2

For the buses I seem to remember a ticket you could use all day was 4 Euros but you can also buy week tickets I think. Best check out the Rome official tourist site for more. You have to buy the ticket in certain shops to so allow yourself plenty of time to find these shops (like newsagents) if you in a hurry.

The buses are clean and efficient - so are the trams and Metro. When you get on the bus, stamp your ticket but only once - don't stamp it everytime you get on if you have a day ticket. Don't try to jump the buses as they do have regular inspectors.

Also for Rome -

-Take extra money - it's very expensive. Eye wateringly so!!

- Watch your bags and pockets as pickpoketing is rife particularly on the Metro and at big tourist sites. I know everyone says this but in Rome its terrible.

- The Colleseum is 12 Euros to get in but you can bypass the queues if you go on the guided tour (they caled anyone wanting the tour to the front when I went).

- Don't ask the gladiators who roam the streets for a pic unless you prepared to pay them - if you try to take a pic of them they'll turn away but will happily pose with you for 10 euros or so.

- The Vatican Museums are 12 Euros to get in and its a h**l of a long walk round but very interesting - check out their mummy -eww! The Sistine Chapel is at the end of the Museums and included in the price but you aren't allowed to take pictures.

- If you want the full tour they sometimes do tours of the catacombs under the vatican but you'll need to look it up on the net. They are reasonably regular but must be booked in advance.

Have fun!!!!

Answer 3

a week ticket would be like 5 Euro. I've never tried 1-day tickets, but they would be less...
