Rome tourist information on apartment rentals

The Eternal City: founded with the contribution of a she-wolf, and currently dominated by stray cats

Recommended sites:

Trenitalia, allowing you to book train tickets online throughout Italy. The site is in English.

www.atac.roma.it : Rome public transport system information. You can enter an address and a destination and the system then provides information, and a map, explaining what bus taking and at what stop getting off. It is very useful, particularly for areas which are not at walking distance. 

AVOID IN ROME:

  1. Rome vacation rentals pitfalls
  2. How to choose the right location and Rome apartment
  3. What you should avoid in Rome (and in Italy)

 
 


However, although planning your vacation in Rome will be useful, we advise you to "go with the flow" in Rome, for a number of reasons:

- when you will be on site simple things like a bus or taxi strike, a cranky taxi driver, a sudden museum employees strike, a rainy day (making motor traffic get crazier than it already is), or possibly the beatification of a monk, a political rally, a local or iinternational festival (the Italians are world masters for a number of these things), or possibly that you are tired or hungry during the hard work of visiting the town with the world-record of sights will upset whatever plan you have. No one was able to visit Rome with a perfect plan without getting a nervous breakdown!

- there are 1000s upon 1000s sights, so the best thing to do is to visit them without getting too stressed, and ... leaving the rest for the next visit.

- also leisure in Rome is important (restaurants, evening promenades, shopping etc.): you will not enjoy them if at the end of the day you will be stressed out visiting the sights.
