Getting around

Rome has an extensive integrated public transportation system, which includes buses, subways, trams and a suburban train network.

Buses

There are buses to almost everywhere in greater Rome. The ATAC local buses serve the city center and arrive easily at the Congress Venue. To get at Marriott Park Hotel you need to take Metro B in Termini Subway Station and get off at San Paolo Subway Station. From here, you must take the Bus 128 and get off at via Colonnello Tommaso Masala (Marriott Park Hotel) new last stop.
Monday to Friday, line 128 from San Paolo Metro B runs from 5.05 to 0.33, from Via Colonnello Tommaso Masala runs from 4.34 to 24.00.
In the holidays, line 128 from San Paolo Metro runs from 6.05 to 24.00, from Via Colonnello Tommaso Masala runs from 5.26 to 24.00.
Many buses and trams are wheelchair accessible and can be recognised by the international symbol for accessibility on the front and side of the vehicle. For information about times, costs and routes: www.atac.roma.it.

Subway

There are two subway lines, A and B. Line A runs east to west and stops at many tourist sites such as the Vatican, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Barberini and Piazza del Popolo. Line B runs northeast to southwest and stops at sites such as the Coloseum, Circo Massimo, and St. Paul’s Basilica. Both lines intersects at Termini Central Station and runs from Sunday to Thursday from 5.30 am to 11.30 pm, and until 1.30 am on Friday and Saturday.  For information about times, costs and routes: www.metroroma.it.

Fares

There is a single fare structure and ticketing system allowing you to travel on buses, trams, trains and the subway with the same ticket. On April 2006, the Municipality of Rome instituted the Roma Pass Program. This Pass costs € 20 and is valid for 3 days including the day it is validated. It entitles the holder to full access to the public transportation system, free admission to the first two museums and/or archaeological sites visited, reduced tickets and discounts to many other museums and sites. Roma Pass can be purchased from all museums and sites that have joined the Program and from Tourist Information Centers in the Municipality of Rome including Fiumicino Airport and Termini Central Station.

Taxi

Licensed taxis are all white and have a taxi sign on the roof of the car as well as their license number inside the car. In every official taxi there is a card that explains the extra charges for luggage, late-night travel, Sunday and holiday travel, and airport journeys. Always make sure the meter is switched on. Be careful of unlicensed and illegal taxi drivers who approach you at the train station or the airport.
