Mastering Roman Transit

Regola is perfectly positioned. Here is how to navigate to and from our hub with zero stress.

Aeroporto Fiumicino (FCO)

Door-to-terminal service. Crucial for early flights or those with heavy luggage. Confirm "Tariffa fissa" before departure.

The Smart Commuter €9.50

Avoids the chaos of Termini. The FL1 regional train is cheaper than the Express and circles the city. Note that the FL1 is not the more obvious Leonardo Express, and the airport train station is located over by Terminal 3.

Arenula/Cairoli → Tram 8 → Stazione Trastevere → FL1 Train → FCO
Leonardo Express €15.50

Fast non-stop train from Termini. Good if you are already near the station, but requires a bus transfer with luggage from Regola.

Bus 40 Express → Termini → Platform 24 (Leonardo Express) → FCO

To/From Termini Station

Skips most stops. Faster and safer than the 64. Just tap your card on the yellow reader.

Corso Vittorio Emanuele II (walking distance) → Termini Station
Private Taxi ~€15-20

Fastest and easiest with luggage. Use the taxi stand at Largo di Torre Argentina.

Getting Around Rome

Taxis & Uber

The closest taxi stand is on the far side of Campo de' Fiori at Piazza di San Pantaleo. The next closest taxi stand is at Largo di Torre Argentina. The FreeNow app works well. Uber does exist in Rome but may take much longer than a cab; Uber may be cheaper than a cab, but that is not guaranteed.

Scooters & Bikes

Set up your account and install the app before riding, and start the ride directly through the app.

Scooters and e-Bikes can be convenient, but they are expensive and dangerous. Avoid crowded streets, fast traffic, and cobblestones as much as possible.

Public Transit & Buses

You can buy paper bus tickets (€1.50) at all tabacchi stores (tobacco shops, signaled by a white 'T' against a black background) and at the hexagonal green tourist shop / newspaper stands found in most piazzas. Validate paper tickets on board in the yellow machine, or tap to pay by card (note that not all cards work with tap to pay). Tram 8 at Arenula/Cairoli is the lifeline for reaching Trastevere and the FL1 train.

Trains

Standard train tickets need to be validated by using the validation machine at the station before boarding the train. If you purchase an e-ticket that has a barcode, you do not need to validate it. If you sit in the wrong seat/car on the train, you will be fined. Pay attention to your stop: trains coming from the north will stop at Tiburtina before Termini.

Rental Cars

Take photos of the rental car from every angle (front, back, left, right, roof, and each of the four corners) before leaving the lot. Having timestamped close-up photos at pick-up is necessary to avoid return fines.

Flying Domestically in Italy

They do not appear to limit liquid container sizes in carry-on luggage and do not ask for identification on domestic flights within Italy.
