6. Getting Around

Rome is walkable, but distances between major sights can surprise you. Use buses or trams for longer stretches — taxis can be pricey and hard to hail. Always validate your ticket on public transport to avoid fines.

Summary

Rome rewards curiosity and patience. Wander off the main streets, eat where Romans eat, and let the city unfold at its own pace. Whether you’re sipping espresso in a tiny bar or watching the sunset over the Tiber, you’ll understand why no one ever really forgets their first time in Rome.
