Rome Mass Transit

Rome has a vast and easy to use mass transit system and our hotel, the Quirinale, is ideally located to take advantage of it.

There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel where a number of bus lines stop.

There is also a metro (subway) station at Piazza Repubblica, one and one half blocks from the hotel. 

The same tickets work for the metro, buses and trams in Rome.  The three tickets that would be useful for our short time in Rome are:

• BIT, good for 75 minutes, costs €1,00
• BIG, good for one day, costs €4,00
• BTI, good for three days, costs €11,00

So how do you use mass transit to get where you want to go?  Here are the easiest and most direct routes from our hotel to the key sites:
