All roads lead to Rome, but we don't recommend driving there. Driving in the center of Rome can be very intimidating for visitors and finding parking is definitely a challenge. Rome's center is relatively compact, so it is possible to see many historic sights on foot. Traffic congestion makes walking the fastest way to go for shorter distances. Public transportation in Rome is convenient and reliable.
Orange buses cover the city from early morning until around midnight.
Remember to hold on tight to your valuables on crowded city buses. The fastest way to cross the city or get to the suburbs is on the Metro. When in Rome, eat as the Romans. Start your day with a warm brioche and cappuccino at a local bar near your apartment. At your midday meal enjoy bucatini all'amatriciana followed by saltimbocca alla romana.
