Answer 5

Dear Jimmy

Best cheap area to stay in Rome is near the Central Train Station, Termini.It's very central location but hotels there are cheaper.Vatican is not a good location for accommodation to go around,A nice, clean hotel i suggest you is Lazio 3* www.sebraeli.it .Otherwise if you wanna stay at the suburbs prefer Area EUR. There are plenty hotels there in a very good price and there is also metro so you can reach the center.I suggest you to lool at this hotel chain www.gruppoloan.it.

Of course it depends on how cheap hotel you want. and of course the season...The hotels i suggest you cost about 70euro DBL PER NIGHT in BB

The airport of Rome is Fiumicino, it is 45min away by train, there is a good connection and the terminal is at Termini Station in the center.

Food is expensive, dont try restaurants at Via Veneto, too high price. Try tratorries in the small roads.

About Airlines i dont have a clue...It depends on the departure city.

Yes they are many pick pockets especially in metro and crowded place.

Not to forget: Do not get a cab!!!!!! They are driving like crazy and the taxi drivers are the biggest thieves in Italy,

Hope I helped..
