    Only E20 for one day ticket of transportation around the sights of Rome. The Roma 110 open is a Tourist line open top deck trambus that circles the city and has 12 stops that are ideal for most major sites in Rome. The stops are quick except at Termini which is the train station but then it is only a short time till you are on your way. The stops are: Termini, Quirinale, Bocca della Verita, Piazza Venezia, Piazza Navona, St. Pietro, Piazza Cavour, Ara Pacis, Piazza Navona (2x) Fontana di Trevi, Via Veneto, and back to Termini. Every ten minutes in high season, 20 minutes in off season, there is a 110 open at each stop.

    You can get on and off to visit sites such as the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, etc. Start early in the morning and hop on and off at the stops you wish to visit. A full audio headset in 7 languages is included to listen to what the 110 is either going by or the next stop. Great for beginners to see the sights and great for those who can't walk for long distances. The 110 sign is up at the locations to help you wait for the next bright red trambus and you pay as you get on, no matter which stop. Have fun!

    THIS IS DEFINITELY THE PICK OF THE PACK
    You will see this big red double decker tour bus right outside Termini at Piazza dei Cinquecento. Although this is officially a tour bus, it could serve you very well with a 2 day pass for transportation in Rome. You board and are free to exit and re-board at any of the major stops along the way. Great photo ops from the top deck also. Do check their website where you have English language and all the detail you could want.

    I know it's the lazy way to do it, and there are lots of places in Rome that these buses can't get near so you're still going to do quite a bit of walking, but for all that, we found the time we spent riding the hop on/hop off bus around the city was both enjoyable and worthwhile.

    Tickets are valid for 24 hours - though the buses only run from 0900 until about 2100. We found that by catching our first bus after an early lunch one day, riding it until about 1800 in the evening and then picking up the first bus in the morning and using our ticket right up to the last minute of the 24 hours, we really felt we got better use out of it. The overnight break suited us very well.

    There are several of these hop on/hop off buses operating in Rome. The one run by City Sightseeing (the biggest players in this game with operations in cities all over the world) has 2 routes that interconnect at set points with the one ticket valid for both routes. Disposable headphones are included and commentaries offered in several languages. We found this worked well - the commentary was fairly basic but quite broadranging and there were no problems with clarity.

    The open top double-decker buses offer great view, though taking photos can be a bit hit and miss. You wouldn't want to sit downstairs however- we did this for a short time when a sudden rain shower hit and the view is very restricted. I could see this being a problem later into the season as the crowds build up.

    You can start your tour at any one of the stops along the way. You'll be given your headphones - keep them with you as you hop off - and a card that gives you the times the buses will be at each of the stops along the different routes.

    Check the website here for current prices, times, etc.

    Rome is a very walkable city. But even given the proximity of the sites most people will want to see, there are a lot of stairs, and a lot of cobbles and eventually your feet are going to complain.

    So when you need a break........

    This little train stops at all the popular tourist sites.

    when Rome is very crowded especially on hot days why not take a tour on one of the open topped busses to get an overview of the city

    there are several to choose from, one specialises in Christian sites, another on Ancient Roman ones, and others are a mixture of both, you can get on and off as often as you wish to visit your must see places and of course there is a commentary on the bus for information about the things you see

    although you should be able to join the busses at any stop we found it best to go to Termimi, one young lady on the 110 bus would not let us board without a ticket and would not sell us one, at Termini there are ticket sales booths for the busses, and the busses stop there for longer

  • The Bus 110 tour offers you a choice of a non stop tour bus or a hop on/hop off bus in Rome. This is a good way to get an overview of the city, but don't expect a full blown tour...the attractions are highlighted using a prerecorded message in several different languages (they provide headphones).

    I would only recommend this bus if you're nervous about getting around the city on your own. I would suggest using this tour on the first day you arrive so you can get an overview of the city and try to get your bearings.

    You can buy the tickets at Termini station. The cost is about 13 euros for a hop on/hop off tour or 8 euors for a non stop tour.

    I saw a few of these buses aorund, but if I compare their frequency to the city of London or Paris, there are far fewer. I think this is because they are just not as popular to use in Rome. Many roads (most I would say) are far too narrow for buses to travel down, and one would miss out on many sights! It was a lovely day though when I took this and viewing must have been good from on top of the bus. I definately prefer to just walk :)

    The Tour Bus take you to the exactly points.
    You can take that bus on the train station. You can buy the ticket on the morning and then took it arround 8am or 9am and then get off the bus the times that you want, and take other to continue the tour. The bus picks you up every 30 minutes in determinates stops near the tourist place. The last bus ride arround the 8:30 pm. I arround 8 dollars by day.
