Getting around

Subway, bus and tram

The best way to get around the city is the Subway, because it is exempt from traffic capitol, but also buses and trams are useful for getting around Rome.

Because of the wealth of archaeological excavations, Rome is provided by only two subway lines (with line C under construction), but nevertheless they cover adequately the metropolitan area of Rome:
Line A starts from the Cinecittà neighborhood and arrives to the Vatican Museums passing from Termini Station, while the B line connects the EUR district with the Colosseum and the main other stations, as Ostiense, Termini, Tiburtina.

The lines A and B of the metro open every day at 5:30 and close at 23:30 from Sunday to Thursday and on Friday and Saturday close at 1:30.

From the road, the stops are clearly identifiable by signs with a big white M on a red background.

Tickets can be purchased in tobaccos, bars or directly in metro stations, and there are different types of tickets:
• BIT (€ 1.50) valid for 100 minutes from the first validation or one ride the metro.
