Rome questions

Is two weeks enough for Rome?

Two weeks covers the main sites plus day trips without daily rushing. Plan one neighborhood or area per day and use buses or trams between them.

Do I need to book the Colosseum ahead?

Book Colosseum tickets online at least two weeks in advance. Skip-the-line options add about 20 euros and cut queue time to minutes.

How do I reach Ostia Antica from Rome?

Take the train from Roma Porta San Paolo station, a 30-minute ride each way. Round-trip tickets cost under 4 euros.

Do I need a car for the Appian Way?

No car is required. Bus 118 from central Rome reaches the park entrance, or rent a bike on site for 15 euros per day.
