Rome: how to move around

Where to buy the tickets

Public transport tickets can be bought at the subway entrance, either from the automatic machines or to the info point. You can buy it also in tobaccos or paper shops, but it can be hard to find all the types. Be aware: you can't buy a ticket on-board!

Types of ticket

BIT(1.50€): Valid for 100 minutes from the first stamp in buses/trams or for one entry in the subway, changing different lines.

10-BIT(15€): Valid 100 minutes from the first stamp. After the first 100 minutes, the title can be renewed for a further 100 minutes by presenting it again to a validator, and so on until all reactivations have been used up.

Roma 24h, 48h or 72h tickets: valid for the amount of hours chosen since the first stamp, and they cost respectively 7€, 12,50€ or 18€.

Cis(24€): valid for 7 days from the date of the first stamp or until midnight of the seventh day, including the stamping one, and for an unlimited number of trips in the Roma Capitale territory.

Roma Pass: A pass for 48h (€32,00) or 72h (€ 52,00) that grants discounts/free access to some historical monuments and public transport is included for the entire duration of the pass.

Subway stops and corresponding attractions

In Rome there are 4 lines of subways: A(orange), B & B1 (blue) and C (green). The principal attractions from The Vatican to Piazza di Spagna can be reached with the A, while for the Colosseo or Circo Massimo you can take the B or B1. The C part passing through the touristics attractions is still under construction.

Another subway station very close to Vatican City. I recommend this stop, if you want to get closer to Castel Sant'Angelo.

Some places, like Castel Sant'Angelo and Trastevere, can be far from the subway and, if you don't like to walk, taking a bus or a tram can be a solution. Be aware that in that zone of Rome there is a lot of traffic.
