Rome to Civitachecchia
by Debbie5
I am arriving in Rome on 15th Sept. On 17th September I need to travel to Civiacheccia to board my cruise ship. I have been told to travel by train but cannot find a website informing me of train times, prices etc. I need to be at the port for 2 pm on Monday. Has anyone any ideas of the best way to travel or how to get a timetable for the train.

The official website for the national railroads in Italy is at www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html . It is relatively easy to use, but feel free to look at tips on my Italy page for more descriptions of how to use it, or just post your questions here...

The big question is what is the name of the rail station where Civitachecchia
is located? Using Civitachecchia as the end station from Rome's Termini doesn't work at the Trenitalia site. Anyone have an idea?

The town's name is "Civitavecchia" - this will work in the trenitalia website...

Go to trenitalia.com. Enter Fiumicino Aeroporto as Departure Station and Civitavecchia as Arrival station. It takes about an hour and a half to travel from the airport to Civitavecchia.
Re: Rome to Civitachecchia

It looks like the OP is coming in 2 days before going on the cruise, so the "Fiumicino Aeroporto" is not needed - although this is perfectly correct for those people who land at Fiumicino and want to proceed straight to the port.
Note, OP, that most trains (the "regional" trains, which are commuter trains) up to Civitavecchia actually stop at a lot of stations in Rome, like Roma Termini (the main station), Roma Tuscolana, Roma Ostiense, Roma Trastevere, Roma S. Pietro, and Roma Aurelia. I mention this because the tendency for most people is to tell you to go and catch the train from Termini, but since Termini is on the far eastern edge of the city center and Civitavecchia is northwest of Rome, your hotel might actually be closer to one of the other stations - and your train trip will be shorter anyway.
Your hotel can tell you this, or just tell us which one it is and we'll tell you ;-)

Travel Tips for Rome
Why the Heck is Everyone Speaking English???
by Jmill42
Rome is one of Italy's biggest draws. You know it, and thats why you go there. The locals know it, and thats why they try to avoid you at all costs. So, during tourist high season (August... yes, ALL of August), almost the entire true Roman population heads for the hills (or beaches) to get out of us unruly tourists way. Those locals who ARE left behind are of the, shall we say, "pissed off that I am not on vacation like all my friends" type. This is generalizing, of course, but I was able to be in Rome 4 times this trip, once in the dreaded month of August, October, December, and February. Only in August was I ever treated poorly. Overall, I think Romans are some of the more helpful people that I met in any city, so my advice is to skip the crowds of August and view Roma later in the year.
Visit Ostia Antica
by anne_h
If you don't have time to visit Pompeii but would like to see the ruins of an ancient Italian city, Ostia Antica (Ancient Ostia) is only about an hour away from Rome by train. Ostia was the port town of ancient Rome, but it was abandoned after it gradually began silting over. While there aren't as many striking frescoes as at Pompeii, the mud and silt preserved the town's buildings pretty well. There's a big theater and many ruins of baths with pretty tiles. Once my brother and I, poking around a corner in a house, found what must have been the latrine. We didn't use it, however.
If it's warm out you can combine a stop here with a visit to the beach.
How to use the busses in Rome
by cbrandlehner
To use the busses you have to buy tickets in advance. You can buy those tickets in newspaper shops (tabacci) or by using coin machines.
I would suggest to NOT use the coin machines as most of them seem to be broken. I lost 4 Euros by evaluation some of them. They eat your coins but do not give you a ticket.
When entering the metro (subway) or the bus you have to put the ticket into a ticket-cancelling machine. Be sure that the correct time is stamped on it. I noticed that some of those machines, especially in the metro, do not print the right time so you would not pass a ticket control.
The busses and the metro are both a good way to travel in rome so you do not have to use a taxi.
Hmmmm........
by leics about Unknown quantity.......
It was pouring with rain, our first night, my friend was soaked and starving so (against my better judgement) we went into this place........the fact that I could see no name for it didn't fill me with hope........
It's lovely inside, filled with an eclectic mix of ornaments and art and bric-a-brac and ephemera. Apparently the owners have four restaurants (one of which is opposite); we had a long 'conversation' with an American friend of theirs.
But .........we had wine, and lasagne, and I wasn't impressed by the latter. Far too much lasagne, very little sauce/filling....and not cheap.
Bit of a tourist-aimed rip-off, I think, despite being in one of the back-streets between rajan's Market and S. M. Maggiore. Best avoided, unless you are happy paying quite a lot for not very much simply because the surroundings are pretty.
The Vatican
by fairy_dust
The Vatican is an absolute must-see for anyone going to Rome! Even for the non-religious, it's an absolutely beautiful place. St. Peter's Basilica is the biggest church in the world, and definitely one of the most gorgeous in my opinion. St. Peter's tomb is underneath it. Michaelangelo's statue La Pieta is also in the church. Also, even though we didn't do this, you can walk up to the top of the dome in the basilica. There is also an elevator to get to the top.
Also, the famous Sistine Chapel. The paintings in it are gorgeous. It's nice to just stand there, look around, and let it all soak in. Remember to not take flash pictures. The flash damages the paint, and you don't want these paintings to be destroyed!
