FAQ voyage — Rome
Do I need to book the Vatican and Colosseum in advance?
Yes — timed tickets sell out days ahead in peak season, and pre-booking skips the long walk-up queues that can top two hours.
Is tap water safe to drink in Rome?
Yes — Rome's nasoni public fountains provide free, safe drinking water throughout the city. Bring a refillable bottle.
How do I get from FCO airport to central Rome?
The Leonardo Express train runs non-stop to Termini in about 32 minutes for €14. Official flat-fare taxis are €55 to the Aurelian Walls.
How many days do I need in Rome?
Three full days cover the essentials; four to five let you add a Vatican deep-dive and a day trip to Tivoli, Ostia Antica or Naples.
Is Rome family-friendly?
Yes — gladiator-guided Colosseum tours, gelato stops, Villa Borghese bike rides and the Time Elevator experience break up sightseeing for children.
What's the best area for a luxury stay?
Via Veneto and the Spanish Steps concentrate the palazzo hotels; boutique properties near Piazza di Spagna and Piazza Navona offer quieter luxury.
Can I visit Rome on a budget?
Neighbourhood trattorias, free entry to the Pantheon and most churches, and the €7 Roma Pass on transit keep costs manageable.
Is Rome safe for tourists?
Generally very safe. Watch for pickpockets on crowded buses (especially the 64 to the Vatican) and around Termini station; ignore rose-sellers and 'petition' scams at major sights.
