If you want to be transported to the historic times of Italy, look no further than the capital city of Rome! Rome, Italy is a bustling city full of rich culture and amazing sights. Swap out your usual views of modern buildings for stunning ancient architecture, and spend your days strolling around the city with a handmade slice of pizza in one hand and homemade gelato in another. To experience the beauty of Rome, you’ll of course need a place to stay. Here is a list of the best Airbnbs in Rome.
How to Get to Rome
Rome is located on the western side of central Italy. The main airport in the area is Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (airport code: FCO). This is a large airport and one of the busiest in all of Europe, so be sure to give yourself a decent amount of time to get through customs, security, etc.
To get from FCO to the city center of Rome will take roughly 30 minutes. The Leonardo Express Airport train runs every 15 minutes from FCO to the center of Rome and is an efficient option. If you are trying to lessen costs on your trip, you might want to opt for the local train or bus options.
How to Get Around Rome
During your time in Rome, the best way to get around the city is by foot! Most famous attractions are located in no traffic areas, so you’ll have to be on foot to explore them. There are some sights, such as the Vatican City, that are outside the city center, so for those cases, you can catch a local metro or taxi. Depending on where you are staying in the city, it might be beneficial to get a transportation card that is used on local buses, metros, etc.
