When visiting Rome, you have two choices for airports: the Fiumicino, otherwise known as the Leonardo da Vinci, and the Ciampino. The Fiumicino provides flights from all over the world and is the larger of the two, while the Ciampino is the more modest of the two and is generally utilized by economical and bargain airlines as well as charters.
A variety of transportation options await you, from taxis and buses to trams or the subway. Never agree to the negotiated fare when employing a taxi, instead always demand that the fare be metered. If you’re lucky enough to find a kind and knowledgeable driver, they might be willing to share their insights on the city and its sights, in exchange for an additional fee.
In Rome, you can choose from tons of hotels that are available in a vast array of price ranges. It’s a big city, but if you stay in a centrally located hotel, you can walk to most of the major sites. Of course, you might spend less money if you stay further away from the city and are willing to take public transportation to your destinations.
