Rome in a Day - Do it Yourself tour ????
A great place to start is the Termini Station, which is easily accessible by Metro. I always book my hotel near Termini for its great flexibility to the Metro and trains throughout Italy and the Fiumicino Airport.
Head South West on via Cavour for less than 5 minutes for the first stop, the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore – a 5th century church with gilded ceiling and majestic works of art. The basilica is the largest catholic church in Rome outside of the Vatican. Typically, a 15 minute stop should to the trick.
Continue South west along via Cavour, following the bend to the right, for about 15 minutes where you will intersect with via Dei Fori Imperiali, turn left towards the Coliseum. With your advanced ticket purchase, you’ll use the short line for pre-purchased tickets – this should take about 5 minutes. When entering the Coliseum, head upwards into the stadium. An hour should be ample time to explore and take photos.
When exiting the Coliseum, head south towards the Arch of Constantine then west up the roadway to the Forum. After entering the gates, the Arch of Titus is straight ahead – celebrating the 1st century victories of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem. Spending about an hour you can walk the grounds of the Forum and ascend the palatine hill for some great views of modern Rome.
From the center of the Forum, exit through the North East exit onto via dei Fori Imperiali and cross the street. Head north west along Trajan’s Forum and past Trajan’s column ending at the Alter of the Fatherland, also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II. This landmark was completed in 1925 in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy.
Now head North on via dei Corso and follow the signs to the Trevi Fountain – there are several places here where you can get some food on the go.
Arriving at the Trevi Fountain, you’ll want to push your way through the crowds to get to the edge of the fountain for the obligatory coin toss over your shoulder – ensuring your future return to Rome. You’ll want to spend about 15 minutes here.
Heading west, follow the side streets to the Pantheon – generally, lines move quickly here and exploring the inside of the Pantheon will take about 20 minutes.
Continue westward towards Piazza Navona, following the signs. In Piazza Navona, there are several fountains and an Egyptian obelisk located in the center – cafes and restaurants surround the perimeter of the square, but be warned, the amazing atmosphere does significantly affect pricing.
Head westward along the winding streets lined with restaurants and then northward (keeping right) towards the Ponte Sant’Angelo. Cross the bridge over the Tiber to the Castel Sant’Angelo.
Keeping left, head West towards St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican City. When entering the main square, keep to the right for the entrance into St. Peter’s. You’ll spend about 30-45 minutes in the Basilica where you’ll be overcome by the grandeur of the architecture and marvel in the incredible works of art, including the Pietà sculpture by Michelangelo.
Heading out of St. Peter’s, head towards the large obelisk in the center of the square and then turn left, or north, up the street, taking another left at the corner of the Wall to the Vatican. Here you will enter the Vatican Museums where you will see well know masterpieces from throughout the centuries, including works by Raphael and the Sistine Chapel paintings by Michelangelo. Although this museum is huge, you can march through it in about an hour and a half.
Heading East, a 25 minute walk back across the Tiber to the Piazza Popolo where you can climb the stairs to the Terrazza del Pincio for a great view of Rome at the edge of the Borghese gardens.
Head South East towards the Spanish Steps where there is plenty of luxury shopping and a great selection of restaurants for dinner. As the night turns darker, head south towards the Trevi Fountain for a completely different experience and an evening Gelato.

From Civitavecchia cruise port to Rome
Civitavecchia-Rome-Civitavecchia (one day in Rome)
How to go to Rome (Colloseum) by train from Civitavecchia cruise port.
Last part of the video shows how to reach Civitavecchia cruise port from Rome.
Civitavecchia cruise port- free shuttle Largo della Pace- walk- Civitavecchia train station(€12) -Ostiense-walk- Piramide-Colloseo- Rome walking tour- Colloseo-Piramide-walk-Ostiense-Civitavecchia- bus (€2)- Largo della Pace- free shuttle service to cruise port.
Detailed description of the video:
□ Civitavecchia cruise port.
□ Take free shuttle bus service to Largo della Pace (Tourist information and service center in Civitavecchia)
□ Walk towards Civitavecchia train station. Get a real glimpse of Civitavecchia. It's actually a nice city to explore. A 30-minute walking tour in Civitavecchia didn't hurt our schedule.
□Buy ticket at the station. There's usually a long queu at the ticket booth. Head towards the kiosk within the train station (where they sell drinks and other small items) and buy BIRG ticket. They don't speak English, so no need to ask questions. Just get your BIRG tickets, €12 per person, valid for a day. Which means you can use the same ticket on your way back, plus you can use it in Rome, bus and Metro, without extra charge. Tickets need to be machine validated before boarding the train.
Or face penalty if you don't.
□Enjoy the train ride. It's faster than a bus. They have toilet facilities inside the train itself.
□Get off at Ostiense station
□Head towards Metro B by taking the underground passage connecting Ostiense and Piramide station at Metro Line.
□Use the same BIRG ticket in Piramide station. Enjoy a quick Metro ride until Colloseo.
□Get off at Colloseo station. This is the Colloseum in Rome.
□Enjoy your Rome tour.
FROM ROME TO CIVITAVECCHIA CRUISE PORT
□Walk back to Colloseum at around 14:00 (2PM) Max is 14:30.
□Metro ride from Colloseo station to Piramide station. Use the same BIRG ticket.
□Get off at Piramide station
□Find your way to Ostiense station. Ask someone for directions or simply get hold of a map if you're not sure.
□Pass the underground passage and walk towards Ostiense station.
□Train ride from Ostiense to Civitavecchia. Use the same BIRG ticket.
□Get off at Civitavecchia train station. Be prepared to wait. The train picks up passengers from each stop.
□Get off at Civitavecchia station.
□Take bus going to Largo della Pace. The bus is right outside the train station. €2 per person. Ticketing booth just nearby.
□Get off at Largo della Pace, Civitavecchia tourist service and information center.
□Get a free shuttle (bus) ride to the cruise port. The bus indicates the Cruise ship.
□There are two (2) stops. The bus stops first to drop new passengers with luggages for check-in. The next stop will be right in front of your cruise ship.
□Enjoy your cruise!

HOW TO TRAVEL ROME ON A BUDGET -- Budget Travel Tips // 141
I spent 5 days in Rome and only spend $159.84. I even splurged a bit.
Transportation 0:58
Food 5:44
Accommodation 9:03
Attractions 9:33
Here's the breakdown of how I traveled Rome on a budget:
ACCOMMODATION:
Hostel bed: $51.25
City Tax: $18.00
Total: $69.25
FOOD:
Ravioli dinner with Tiramisu: $17.17
Fancy antipasta with Cappucino: $22.13
Gelato: $3.09
Groceries (yogurt, apples, pasta, sauce, wine): $9.90
Total: $52.29
ATTRACTIONS:
Walking Tour: $15.38
Total: $15.38
TRANSPORTATION:
Bus: $7.43
Bus: $7.43
Metro: $8.06
Total: $22.92
ALL TOGETHER: $159.84.
For five days in Rome, I spent under $160. This is fantastic, considering Rome is an expensive city in an expensive country! But if you're wondering how to travel Rome on a budget, or looking for some budget travel tips, you've come to the right place.
The best tips are included in the video, but for those who just want to read and continue on preparing for your trip, remember these key points:
1. If you want to keep to your Rome trip budget, walk as much as possible.
2. If you want to eat on a budget in Rome, buy groceries and cook (some) meals.
3. If you need cheap accommodation in Rome, stay in a hostel or AirBnB.
4. If you're looking for free things to do in Rome, visit the many free attractions (the Vatican, Giancolo Hill, The Colosseum (outside), the parks, Trastevere, the river, etc.)
This last one is a big one. It is easy to throw money at private tours or special tours. Some of those tours might be amazing. But you're at a point in your life where you can't afford the pricey amazing, just the budget amazing. Thankfully, there are a lot of free things to do in Rome, so the budget amazing is actually worth your time.
MORE QUESTIONS?! I'm happy to hear that. Leave them in the comments and I'll get back to you ASAP. ;)
