Question

Which airport should I fly into?

Answer

Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO), Fiumicino, Italy

Question

What should I wear while visiting the city?

Answer

Rome in Autumn has a very variable weather (60F - 75F) so the “cipolla method” (dressing in layers) its recommended; at the same time it’s important to bare in mind that: • Churches: If you are visiting churches, shoulders must be covered, and skirts/dresses should reach the knee. Bring a pashmina or light blazer. • Cobblestones: Rome is paved with sanpietrini (uneven stones). Sandals are painful! Suggested tennis or hiking shoes for touristic walks.

Question

How do I get around Rome and nearby areas?

Answer

• Rent a car: Renting a car in Italy it's not an expensive practice, you can plan everything in advance including pick-up at the airport directly from the company app. Make sure that the car includes ZTL permit (Limited Traffic Zone) and, when driving to the center, its always recommendable to park the car in a strategic spot (mostly along the Tiber River) and walk (in the city center the majority of the streets are narrow and mostly available just for police, ambulance and residents). Suggested rental car companies: EUROPCAR, SIXT, AVIS. • Walking: Your primary mode of transport (just in the city center, check above). Wear comfortable shoes! • Apps: Download FreeNow or Uber (Uber in Rome mostly summons "Uber Black" town cars, which are reliable but pricier) (through the Uber app you will be able also to use the Taxi service and the scooter sharing service “Lime”) • Public Transportation: Apple maps and Google maps will be able to track routes using the local public transportation in an effective way and there are different kinds of tickets (1 ride/100 minutes, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, etc.). In the underground station is possible to buy tickets at the kiosk, otherwise you can find them in any tabacco shop (T sign on the shops). Remember to validate your tickets at the beggining of the ride! If you take a bus or train (not underground), you must stamp your paper ticket in the little yellow/green machines, or you’ll face a heavy fine. On the bus and on the underground (not regional trains) you can also now travel ticket free passing your contactless credit/debit card on the ticket validator and the controller in a second moment will be able to check the purchase scanning your card. The cost of the ticket in this case would be €1,50 per ride instead of €2,00. *PAY ATTENTION TO PICK POCKETS*

Question

What’s the deal with water and coffee?

Answer

• Water: You’ll see "Nasoni" (big-nosed fountains) everywhere. The water is ice-cold, delicious, and free. Just bring a reusable bottle. In restaurants, you must pay for bottled water (naturale or frizzante); "tap water" isn't really a thing there. • Coffee: If you order a "latte," you will get a glass of cold milk. Order a Caffè Latte or a Cappuccino. Also, Italians rarely drink cappuccinos after 11:00 AM but no barista will deny you a cappuccino as soon as the bar it’s open.

Question

Do I need to tip?

Answer

Tipping is not expected like it is in the US. A few Euros or rounding up the bill is plenty. If a "Coperto" (cover charge) is on the bill, that’s standard for the bread and service (normally between €2 and €4 per person)

Question

Quick pro-tips for Americans

Answer

• Dinner Time: Most Roman restaurants don't open for dinner until 7:30 PM. If you show up at 6:00 PM, the doors will be locked. • Pharmacy: Look for the glowing green crosses. Italian pharmacists are highly trained and can help with minor ailments (like blisters or jet lag) better than US drugstores.
