avoid single-points-of-failure. never keep all your credit cards in one place, like your wallet. make sure you have plenty of extra euro cash. they don't take checks in rome, so forget those.
Thank you so much! Please make a video on how to get from airport to trains and cheapest way to get to center of rome. We got ripped off by black taxi van charged us $150 US dollars but hotel said it only cost $60 to get back to airport 😮.
just came back from Rome, used Metro couple of times and every time somebody tried to pick pocketing, used Uber taxi after that, little expensive than Metro but safe. Be very careful of pick pocketing, they work in groups, will get in middle of family to separate you and then do their act.
Hi, one confusion for me about bus or metro tickets for kids? Can they travel for free if the parents have the tickets? For example kids age is 6 and 11
Also, if i tap my credit card and get into the bus and lets say, if iwant to take the metro connection, they after tapping my credit card again, will it check, there is already an active ticket, which is valid for 100 minutes? Or do i pay again for another ticket for connecting metro
Отличные видео, спасибо, Анастасия! Подскажите, пожалуйста, нигде не могу найти эту информацию: если я зашла сначала в метро и валидировала 100-минутный билет. И после я выхожу из метро и сажусь на автобус в рамках 100 минут. Надо ли мне в автобусе валидировать этот же билет или нет? И если ситуация наоборот - я сначала еду на автобусе, то в метро я потом с этим же билетом уже не могу зайти?
Thanks for the straightforward and helpful video. I was trying to understand how to buy tickets in Turkey but apparently there were some passes that were no longer available or extremely confusing to understand, but your video on Rome was really reassured me that I won't have issues with buying tickets/passes in Italy. Sei troppo gentile!
The more I watch your videos, the more I become familiar with Italy. Thank you for that. One quick question about getting tickets for a train to other cities to and from Rome, are there any apps for that?
The buses and trams run between 05:30 am - 12:00 am. The metros, on the other hand, run from 05:30 am until 11:30 pm Monday-Thursday. And on Fridays and Saturdays metros operate until 01:30 am
We just finished joining a cruise from Rome ( Civitavecchia) in August 2023. Do not buy the 6 Euro bus ticket to the port bus, there is no bus take you to the gate and there is no one you can ask questions. We stood in the hot sun for 2 hours and no bus. The white bus comes every 40 minutes and only go the Norwegian and MSC ships. Most people have to walk the 0.8 miles with luggage to the gate or share a high price taxi for the 10 minute ride to the gate. At the gate, you have to wait another 45 minutes to board a bus to your ship. What a mess.
To make sure I understand it. Only the train is considered metro correct. Not the city bus? But you can still get on either the train or the city bus with the same $1.50 ticket?
The tap system is directly at the barrier of the metro entry (and opens it), you obviously do not need to validate the credit card payment. If controlled, they just read the credit card again and recognize the payment.
Hola, I love your videos. Much help in planning our upcoming trip to 1:02 Rome. Question: how do I reach Alessi station from Termini? I checked 3 sites and they give me different answers. Do I need to walk from Termini to Laziali? Thank you. Pierre Costa Rica
I hesitate to admit it, but I either walked or took taxis everywhere in Rome including from the airport and back to it on my way home, because even the thought of the Metro felt intimidating to me. Armed with this video though, I think I’m going to brave the Metro next trip. I will say though that I found taxis to be fairly reasonable, and the taxi drivers to be honest …… which is a lot more than I can say about the Taxi drivers in Paris. I loved walking everywhere in Rome though, and averaged 5 miles of walking per day. Thanks for this video, Anastasiya 💕
I hear you! I walk everywhere as well. But there are times when I need to take metro to get somewhere outside of the Centro Storico and for that metro is excellent, because you get there fast, without any traffic. And yes-taxi is a great solution as well, as long as you order it through the app.
@@Shiningstar104 yeah, I like to keep things simple and treat myself very well when I travel. I figure I’m already spending a lot of money, so a few hundred extra to make my travel experience easy is money well spent! Am I right? Or am I right? 😊
@@lostwarriorwanderingI will be there on 30 and 31st May and already butterfly running in my stomach 😂!! I know nothing about this city and my wife and kid will be with me. I am sure I will get lost somewhere there..
New follower here! We are coming via ship in June. Coming via Leonardo express to termini. What’s the online link to get the metro ticket?? Trying to get to the colosseum.
Hi, thanks a lot for sharing these informative videos about Rome, A long time ago I asked you which is the best month to visit Rome November or December now you convinced me to come in December to enjoy the Christmas decorations. So next December we are going to visit Rome for the first time. I would like to take the Metro from Termini to Piazza Dell Popolo I know that I have to take the orange line from Battistini to Flaminio and then walk to Piazza dell Popolo. My question is Is this Metro line working at the moment? Because according to google Maps there are some modified services. Can you help me with this, please? Thanks a lot, Ben from Malta.
Hi Ben! I am glad that you are coming to Rome in December. Unless you enjoy rain.... Haha! It's raining as I am writing this. Any way, Flaminio station is open, I was just passing it yesterday. Now I cannot guarantee it will be the case when you get here. Between the works and manifestations, it can be closed. But right now it's functioning as per usual. My advice, in case its closed, you can always exit on Spagna metro station and then walk to Piazza del Popolo. It's not too far. Have a wonderful trip!
@@StayFabulousTL Hi, thanks a lot for your advice I am very much looking forward to visiting Rome for the first time in December it will be more beautifully decorated for the festive season.
Is there any escalators or elevators for a large luggage visitors to use the rail public transport than using stairs..? I didn't see any elevators or escalators in your video after you bought the tix to get into the basement to catch the metro/train..
Chrisna, unfortunately most of the central subway stations do not have elevators/lifts, but they do have escalators (please keep in mind sometimes they can be out of order.) Also, there are certain parts where only stairs are available.
Hay brilliant video. Can you advice me or if anyone else reading my comment - how can I get from San giovanni train station (subway) to go to the vatican quickly? Am going there soon and am trying to find out easy options. Thank you Gracia x
I'm going to Rome in about two days, and I might just be overthinking this, but for the tickets, there are different tickets that have different amounts of time on them, right? So if I get a ticket that has 1 hour on it, does that mean it expires in an hour or that I can ride a bus for 20 minutes in the morning and 40 minutes in the evening?
I want to add that the ticket system is very simple - there is only one zone: The full city area. You even could go to the beach (Lido) and Ostia Antica, but, sorry, the airports are excluded. I always took the weekly ticket and were free to go everywhere, also by bus to some remote monuments. The bus lines, though, were somehow complicated but ok once getting used and understood . Attention: You can't buy tickets in the bus but have to get them in advance, from a machine, kiosk or a licenced tobacco shop (!).
@@soil80 Sure... You could use them either for three persons at once or for three rides for one person. But don't forget to validate (stamp, cancel) them before each ride, either at the barrier of the metro or inside the bus or tram. I stayed for longer and took a week ticket, cheap and easy.
@@ralfjansen9118 thanks for the quick reply! In my hometown you have to use the tickets on the day you brought them, so I was a bit confused whether you could buy them beforehand and use them up throughout the week.
@@soil80 As I said, you have to cancel them, this means the starting time and date is stamped on them, and then you have your 100 minutes of validity that could be controlled by the authorities. You can change trains and busses, but after leaving the metro (barrier!), you can not re-enter the metro.
@@StayFabulousTL I didn’t know this, but on my last day in Rome, my Airbnb host took me to a magazine stand in Trastevere to buy a tram ticket (green line) to Roma Trastevere train station to catch the train Fiumicino. She saved my feet from blisters lol
Thank you so much! videos like this really help people! Im going to visit Rome in April; at first I was very nervous as I might get lost but this video has certainly helped me feel more confident! Thank you! :D
Perfect! This video was so helpful. I like how it was short and to the point, but still had lots of useful tips. I now feel much less nervous to use the Metro on my trip 😊🎉
Wonderfun video. Thank you. Your tip about tapping a credit card at the turnstile is great news. That's how I'll go. As I understand it, a traveler needs to know which train to get on (direction). The ending station is shown on the train so you can be sure which direction you need to go. Is that correct? So for example to go from Termini to Circus Maximus, we would take the Blue Line marked Laurentina (last stop in that direction). Correct? And to return from the Circus Maximus to Termini, we would take the Blue Line marked Rebibbia. Do I have that right? Thanks for any help. I'm going in mid May and can't wait!
Now it is too late for you, but that is exactly how it works. There are signs that lead you to your entrance (direction of ending station) and there are also tables with the intermediate stations where you want to exit.
@@ralfjansen9118 Thank you. Yes, I went in May and used the metro and it worked perfectly. The only thing (and it was a "duh moment" for me) is to notice the tap symbol towards the top of the turnstile, not where you use a metro card. Once you see the spot, it's tap and go.
Thank you so much for this. I will be going to Rome by myself in a few weeks and I'm really nervous about travelling. Would you reccomend any hotels in particular at a reasonable price?
Since you are coming during the most popular months, unfortunately everything will be expensive. You will just have to do a lot of research and compare the prices.
Can I buy weekly pass at the machine AND pay by card? And what about if I pay by card at the gate (as you showed), then how I can I prove if I have valid ticket? (for example when I have chanfe for a bus). I'm sorry but I have never been there.
Yes, you definitely can pay for a weekly pass by card. As far as someone checking your metro ticket, that doesn't happen anymore. But if for some strange reason it does happen, you can just show the transaction on your credit card statement. That will be sufficient. Same goes for buses.
Hello thank you for the great video, just want to ask if it’s possible to buy a few single-use ticket on the first day of my trip and use them each on subsequent days?
This was helpful seeing exactly how the subway system look versus just hearing someone talk about it because I’m from Miami we don’t use public transport like for example NY so I’ve always jus hoped in my car and drive and park everywhere so the metro or bus scare me because I don’t know how it works and the different buses what if I get on the wrong one how do o know what stop to get off to me my brain doesn’t understand it easily lol
did you get hit? bec she said it's not bad when she even used crowded subway. but I do worry about those pickpockets and why I always use money belt and put all the important items (credit cards, cash, smartphone) in there, under the sweater and coat. I mean, the pickpocketer has to be REALLY GOOD to get anything from my hidden money belt. lol
@@dionysus4778 yes, my wallet was stolen leaving the Metro at Barberini station. 1. Avoid credit cards, use Apple Wallet 2. Keep credit cards separated, never put all in one place 3. Keep credit card in line of sight, such as top front shirt pocket 4. If someone is talking to you in Rome, they are trying to get your money, either legally or illegally, they are not your friend 5. Every vending machine, every point of sale terminal in Rome has a sign that says "Beware of pickpockets", they are not kidding
Hi, I will be staying at Piramide Hotel and was wondering if the train from the Airport goes directly there by any chance as I see they have a Metro station next to it. Thanks and have a good day 😊
avoid single-points-of-failure. never keep all your credit cards in one place, like your wallet. make sure you have plenty of extra euro cash. they don't take checks in rome, so forget those.
Also never knew you could tap a credit card instead of buying a metro ticket!!!! Never knew this!!
So convenient!
But what if they ask for your ticket? 🤔
@@niknoknak4006 they scan your card
Is it still the same price?
@@Legolancer thankyou!

How about the children? How much for the child?
Not many details...all looks huge.
just use the bus much easier
Thank you so much for all your tips I am going to be there November 12-18 and your tips have helped very much. Capuccino on me ok?

Can I tap my debit card, not credit card at the metro?

Hi, if you use a credit card or debit card on the Metro does it max out if you hit the daily rate like London?
Can you use your phone to pay for metro😊
Great to know how to get around Rome quickly!! As metros always different between counties
Exactly! I find Rome metro to be super easy to navigate comparing to lets say the one in NYC🙈
Metro b, 25 minutes....
To make sure I understand it. Only the train is considered metro correct. Not the city bus? But you can still get on either the train or the city bus with the same $1.50 ticket?
Yes, correct. The same ticket is valid for all public transport including metro, trams, buses, etc
can i use baby strollers and big suitcase in metros to travel to airport? do they have lifts?
Yes, you can.
How do we validate if we use our credit card instead of buying a ticket?
The tap system is directly at the barrier of the metro entry (and opens it), you obviously do not need to validate the credit card payment. If controlled, they just read the credit card again and recognize the payment.
If you have kids and want to do the credit card tap, can u tap it multiple times? Or would it be best to get tickets
Yes, you can definitely tap multiple times.
Thank you, love your energy delivering the information
Is it true that you have to validate your ticket in a machine before using it?
You don't have to validate your tickets for the metro
From Termini train station you can comfortably and quickly reach Fiumicino airport. It brings you inside of it.
Exactly!
We will be in Rome this Sept. What are good and affordable areas that are near subway stations or Termini ?
Hi, may i know, does all Metro stations have escalator/elevator? Travelling with big suit cases and baby stroller... Thanks in advance

Keep credit card in line of sight, such as top front shirt pocket 4. If someone is talking to you in Rome, they are trying to get your money, either legally or illegally, they are not your friend 5. Every vending machine, every point of sale terminal in Rome has a sign that says "Beware of pickpockets", they are not kidding
This is so helpful. Thank you very much!
You got it!
Are the metro tickets connected to bus tickets ?
Yes!
Loved that we can just use a credit card! Thanks for this video!
I know! So convenient.
Can you tap your credit card to get on the bus too?!
@@annarichmond1733 I don't think so.
Useful and precise infos!
Thank you!
Дуже д‘якую!

Does the metro work 24h ?
Unfortunately, not

Hi, I will be staying at Piramide Hotel and was wondering if the train from the Airport goes directly there by any chance as I see they have a Metro station next to it. Thanks and have a good day 😊
Fabulous. I smashed the like button and smacked the subscribe. So few people actually do. Great video.
REMEMBER TO Validate your TICKETS on the stamp machine
If you use tap n go do you still need to validate? Do you get a receipt for proof of purchase?
Is it possible to pay by apple pay or credit card with machine tickets?
Yes, it is
