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.

[@yvonneczajkowski9569]

Also never knew you could tap a credit card instead of buying a metro ticket!!!! Never knew this!!

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

[@jeshakeit]

Wait I can use my credit card without a ticket?? How do they know to validate my ticket then?! How do you get multiple people on a credit card?

[@jagadishkurli]

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

[@kristinaringmae2661]

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?

[@Clone582]

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!

[@StayFabulousTL]

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

[@tfung8]

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.

[@StayFabulousTL]

Thank you for sharing with the community.

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?

[@daverodavero7227]

Metro b, 25 minutes....

[@mariomario..]

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?

[@StayFabulousTL]

Yes, correct. The same ticket is valid for all public transport including metro, trams, buses, etc

[@sundhar08]

can i use baby strollers and big suitcase in metros to travel to airport? do they have lifts?

[@StayFabulousTL]

Yes, you can.

[@jenjenp7890]

How do we validate if we use our credit card instead of buying a ticket?

[@ralfjansen9118]

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.

[@xxfree2romexx]

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

[@StayFabulousTL]

Yes, you can definitely tap multiple times.

[@lostwarriorwandering]

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 💕

[@StayFabulousTL]

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.

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.

[@StayFabulousTL]

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!

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.

[@bill9989]

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!

[@ralfjansen9118]

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.

[@bill9989]

@@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.

[@StayFabulousTL]

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.
