Getting Around

Although most of Rome's sights are in a relatively circumscribed area, the city is too large to be seen solely on foot.
Take the Metro (subway), a bus, or a taxi to the area you plan to visit, and expect to do a lot of walking once you're there.
Wear a pair of comfortable, sturdy shoes, preferably with rubber or crepe soles to cushion the impact of the sampietrini (cobblestones).
Get away from the noise and polluted air of heavily trafficked streets by taking parallel streets whenever possible.
You can buy transportation-route maps at newsstands, and ATAC (Rome's public transit authority) information and ticket booths may have free maps, which can also be obtained from the municipal information booths.
The free city map distributed by Rome EPT offices is good; it also shows Metro and bus routes, although bus routes are not always marked clearly.
