Short visit to Rome, 25-27th May 2008
by biusing
Hi everyone,
I will be flying out from Frankfurt on the 25th May 2008, and planned to stay in Rome for 2 nights, before leaving home for Kuala Lumpur on the 27th noon. However, I need some information on th following:
(a) Is there a left-baggage facility available at the airport? How much is the cost?
(b) What are my transportation options to the city?
(c) Can somebody recommend me a cheap place to stay? My budget is less than Eur100@night@double bed room.
Many thanks in advance

You haven't said which Rome airport.
Rome Ciampino travel options here:
http://www.adr.it/content.asp?L=3&IdMen=204
You are best to take the Terravision shuttle (but only if you are flying with the budget carriers mentioned). It's worth booking ahead online for this. Otherwise, the Autobus shuttle is cheapest, though may take a while due to traffic congestion.
Rome Fiumicino options:
http://www.adr.it/content.asp?L=3&IdMen=731
The Leonardo Express train to Termini station (where the Ciampino buses also end up) costs 11 euro one-way, but local trains take only a little longer and are cheaper. There are also buses, but train is the best option.
There is left luggage at Fiumicino, but not at Ciampino:
http://www.adr.it/content.asp?L=3&idMen=865#Deposito%20bagagli
There is also left luggage at Termini station, which would be your only option if coming from Ciampino. It costs 3.80 euros per item for 5 hours, then 0.50 for each hour above that. Open 6am to midnight, in the underground wing, accessible from platform24.
Rome is not a cheap place to stay. Have a look at www.venere.com (a reliable site with honest guest reviews) and, maybe, www.hostelworld.com and www.hostelbookers.com

Thanks for the valuable information. I really appreciate it.
I will be flying from Nuremberg by Air Berlin on the 25th May.
Anyway, I am planning to stay at one of the hotels near the Termini Station (my first choice is Pop Inn Hostel). On the 26th May, I am planning to visit the following places:
1. COLOSSEUM
2. ROMAN FORUM
3. VATICAN MUSEUM
4. ST PETER SQUARE
Any tips on how to visit these places on a shoestring budget? Many thanks in advance.

Walk.
Really.
Rome is very walkable.
Termini to Colosseum/Forum about 20/25 minutes, to the Vatican maybe 35- 40. That does not indlucing stopping and looking along the way, of course.......it will take longer if you do.
I walk all day when I'm in Rome (at least until my feet/legs give up): you see so much more that way, and it's such an easy city to walk around.
And/or get a day or 3-day travel card from the booths at Termini bus station (3-day costs 11 euros). They'll cover all buses/trams/Metro within the city and even the suburban commuter trains, so you can make a trip to the wonderful Ostia Antica (the ancient port of Rome, a mini-Pompeii) without paying extra for transport.
Travel Tips for Rome
The Catacombs
by pili
They´re amazing underground galleries created by the ancient romans to bury their dead, but the catacombs became a place to go on a pilgrimage.-
They´re built in four different levels and only part of them has been explored. The dead people were buried to in wall tombs, known as "loculli".-
Son increibles galerías subterráneas, donde los cristianos enterraban a sus muertos, pero se convirtieron aparte de ello, en lugar de peregrinación. Ocupan cuatro niveles diferentes y sólo han sido exploradas en parte. Los muertos eran colocados en nichos, conocidos como loculi.- Please, don´t miss this incredible place. It´s awesome to see the cript of St. Cecilia, who was buried there until 820 ac,and then pope Paschal I had her remains transferred to Trastevere, in the basilica dedicated to the Saint.-
Es asombroso pensar en el trabajo que llevó construirlas. No puede dejar de visitarse. Es muy bella la Cripta de Santa Cecilia, quién estuvo allí enterrada hasta el año 820 d.c. y luego trasladada a su iglesia en el Trastevere.-
Underground Rome Tour-Catacombe di Priscilla
by abarbieri
There are several Catacombs available in Rome. Not all of them can be visited and some of them are more easy to reach.
This of Priscilla are not that far from the city center and they are very interesting.
Tours are available in English.

Taking the train
by goodfish
I'm lifting this from my general Italy tips as Rome is a major rail hub...
As is the case in most of Europe, trains are a primary mode of transportation in Italy and usually the easiest, most economical way to get from Point A to Point B. Because train travel is not so common in the US, figuring out how the system works can be a source of some anxiety for Americans taking their first trip by rail in a foreign country. Here's the good news:
Trenitalia operates the vast majority of the country's rail system so the operation is usually very consistent.
Stations in the major cities are well-staffed and you can usually find help.
In many parts of Italy. like major cities and the Amalfi Coast, taking a train is MUCH less stressful than dealing with a car.
And finally, in the course of digging around for tips prior to our Trenitalia shuttle from Rome to Naples, I ran across an excellent web site covering darn near anything you want to know about train travel in Italy, from buying tickets to understanding station signage. I'm passing it along with heartfelt thanks to Italian Slow Travel contributor, Alice Twain. Now if she just could have warned us about the bathrooms!
On the site, click on Public Transportation/Trains in Italy, and have some fun surfing the other helpful categories for making the most of your Italian adventure!
Best Gelato in Rome
by WingFoot about Fasci
Fasci claims to be the first place in Italy to serve gelato and they have the pictures to prove it. Great ice-cream, lots of locals (almost no tourists) and nostalgic pictures/newspaper articles. A little out of the way but worth braving it. Any flavor --- Melone is the one I like best.
Audio Walking Tour of the Roman Forum on your iPod
by thejake
The Roman Forum was the center of daily life in Rome, filled with temples, markets, courts and all kinds of other public buildings. Today, the Forum is little more than a few scattered rock piles, but with a little imagination and the help of an audio guide the glory of Rome unfolds at your very feet. In the Forum, you'll see the Roman Senate, where Rome’s finest citizenry met to decide the issues of the day, as well as the remains Rome's greatest temples including the Temple of Saturn, The Temple of Jupiter and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins. This tour is designed help you make sense of the rubble and recreate the story of Rome from the time when Caesar built it into the greatest city in the Empire until Nero watched it burn. A great resource for budget travelers. http://www.walki-talki.com/index.html
