We
got a plane to Rome – took off from Warsaw Chopin Airport and landed in Rome
Fiumicino Airport on Wednesday at 3 pm. From Fiumicino Airport we took train, but not
Leonardo (as more expensive), but cheaper FR1 (€ 8). You can find a train
timetable in my previous post. It is possible to go to city centre by bus, but
we were afraid of traffic jams and chose train as a faster way.
In
Rome Ostiense we had changed train to underground and travelled to Termini
station. It is very easy way to change train to underground in Ostiense station
(long corridor links train station with metro station). Rome has two
underground lines – A (orange) and
B (blue) which cross at Termini. We
bought three-day ticket (BTI) for all Rome public transport tram, bus and metro
(but except route to/from Fiumicino airport):
BIT - INTEGRATED TIME TICKET (€ 1,50)
BIG
- INTEGRATED DAILY TICKET (€ 6,00)
BTI
- INTEGRATED TOURIST TICKET (€ 16,50)
From Termini metro station we walked to our hotel – Corallo. Hotel has very good location – it is close to metro station and in walking distance to interesting places in Rome. Other advantage of Corallo hotel are cleanness, very polite service, wi-fi for free in rooms and breakfast on terrace on last floor. There are many restaurants and pizzerias close to hotel – we chose Mamma Angela’s Trattoria – very good cuisine and wine. Last activity of first day was stroll to Colosseum and back …an evening walk through the narrow streets was marvelous.
