Considered one of the world's best places to visit , Rome offers countless things to do and an endless selection of delicious cuisine. But given the overwhelming crowds and restricted access to ancient sites, it can be difficult to fully enjoy all that Italy's capital has to offer on your own. That's where a guided tour can help.

Based on recent traveler reviews and expert opinion, we've selected the best tours in Rome. Whether you're gliding past the Colosseum on a Segway or savoring Italian wine in the countryside, you'll benefit from fun and informative guides leading the way.

Fat Tire Tours Rome – Rome Day Segway Tour

Price: From 73 euros (around $79) Duration: 3 hours

Hop on a Segway to see the Eternal City's many sights. After receiving your helmet and tuning in to a quick training session, you'll receive a headset to follow the lively commentary from the experienced Fat Tire Tours guide. Along the three-hour ride, you'll glide past sights like Trajan's Forum, Capitoline Hill and more. Plus, you'll don a virtual reality headset during your stop outside the Colosseum that reconstructs the famous arena's past grandeur. Travelers appreciate that Segways make getting around and seeing Rome's sights easier and more fun, especially for families with older teens. Reviewers also appreciate the engaging local guides.

1. a 3 hr Guided tour of Roman Forum then colosseum https://mptour.it/colosseo-e-foro-romano-tour-guidato/ 69EURO pp and

2. Vatican Garden minibus and skip-the-line Vatican Museums entry https://mptour.it/musei-vaticani-e-cappella-sistina/ 43EURO pp

There is also a guided Vatican tour available for 73 EURO pp which seems much better value as long as we could then wander around the Gardens on our own. Is that allowed? Do you recommend being Guided through the Vatican museums?

We only have three full days in Rome so hoping to get the most out of the time. Day 3 would be walking the streets and historic centre and sites on foot.

Your recommendations and advise is much appreciated.

Never heard of MP Tours.

If you want a general admission ticket or a guided tour of the Vatican Museums, try and go through the official Vatican Museums website: https://tickets.museivaticani.va/home/calendar/visit/Biglietti-Musei

However, not sure when you are going, if you have left it to last minute, you may not be able to find tickets easily.

The tour of the Colosseum / Roman Forum looks OK -- I really do recommend guided tours of the Roman Forum because it is rather hard to understand and appreciate without a good guide. I can't tell how long that part of the tour is, however, from the website.

I would just book tours or entry tickets through the official websites and not bother with a third party vendor. It sounds like MP tours is just booking tours at the Vatican and colosseum then upselling them to you. That's fine, if that's what you want to do but be aware that a lot of tour companies have been struggling to get the ticket/tour slots they need and have been cancelling at the last minute, leaving their customers out in the cold.

You cannot wander about the Vatican gardens on your own - you are escorted by a Vatican guide even on the walking tours. I would also agree with SSA, that the gardens are not impressive.

There is no need to book one of the Vatican tours with a third party - almost certainly (absolutely definitely for the garden tour) they are selling one of the official Vatican tours with a hefty mark-up. Buying on the official website also means you definitely have a ticket - third party operators may sell tickets they don't have in the hope they can get them later. If they can't, they will cancel at the last minute, leaving you with few alternatives and it may be difficult to get a refund, with them trying to palm you off with tickets on another day you can't make or another destination.

Thank you for the insight into the Gardens and resellers. The dates we are looking at for Vatican, July 4&5, are sold out on the official website for GA which is why I was looking to the resellers, assuming they had pre-purchased their tix.

There is also a private guided tour for about 300EUR which unfortunately I can’t afford.

As it’s peak season ideally I want to beat the crowds if there is such a thing but can’t see an early morning availability on the official website.

Reseller- What a Life Tours has an early morning 8am “available”. Does anyone have experience of this one?

Will definately book a Colosseum & Roman Forum tour on their official website 30 days out.

I see some "Lunch at the Museums" tickets available for July 4 and 5 ... no guided tour, just general admission and lunch. This may be your cheapest option from the official website.

As for the tours of the Roman Forum available form the official Colosseum website, here's a recent thread: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187791-i22-k14345411-There_is_now_a_guided_tour_of_the_Forum-Rome_Lazio.html

You're probably done with the tour now but I would NOT recommend MP Tours for anything! I bought a guided tour to Forum, Palatine and the Colesseum but I only got entry tickets for 4 times the price. No one is available to talk to/ get info from. We were stuck with the entry tickets. Had to walk to get the kids tickets, tour the Forum on our own which makes NO sense - it just looks like ruins without any context of what is what. The Colesseum was a little better cause there is signage and a small museum but imagine expecting to see something with a guide and not getting one! WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, NOT RECOMMENDED.

A fuir à tout prix!

C'est cher alors qu'il n'y a aucun service.

Ça évite juste la file. L'audioguide proposé n'est pas terrible et nos enfants ont payé alors que c'est gratuit.

Je ne comprends pas du tout la prestation

Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est! A fair à tout priz. Nous avons payé 49 euros pour rien! Aucune prestation nest proposee alors are lemprix d'entrée sur site est de 18 euros et gratuit pour les enfants.

Laudioguude proposé est de mauvaise qualité et inintèressant!

The best guide in Rome you can wish for. We spent with Chiara a beautiful day in the Vatican. She was absolutely the best, energetic, funny and knew all about everything. She answered all our questions with a smile. I have never experienced such an amazing tour of the city in my life. Thank you and we totally recommend.

We missed the start of the tour.but Roberta let us join later,and allowed us to come back the next day to see the bits we missed..our guide massimo was super.funny and very friendly...not disappointed.

Our tour guide was Luigi, he was great. From the start Luigi made it a point to connect with each person, from learning our names to speaking with us each.

Why This Unique Tour In Rome Was My Favorite Way To Explore The City

R ome has a rich history and vibrant culture that can transport you to a different era. Long before I ever visited Rome, what I knew of the ancient city came from the movies. I’m a classic movie buff, and Roman Holiday , the 1953 romantic comedy, is my favorite film.

The story unfolds as Princess Ann, who, during a visit to Rome, escapes her guardians to explore the city. Enter a handsome newspaper reporter who whisks her away on the back of his Vespa. I’ll never forget the images of iconic landmarks in the eternal city whizzing by as the movie unfolds.

On a recent visit, I found that exploring Rome by Vespa Sidecar Tour can make you feel like you’re living a similar fantasy.

My private Vespa Sidecar Tour was provided by Anantara Palazzo Naiadi as part of a hosted stay at the beautiful hotel. As always, all opinions are my own.

The Vespa Sidecar Tour

The Vespa Sidecar tour offers a unique way to discover the city’s famous landmarks, hidden gems, and picturesque squares. As you motor through the bustling city, you can imagine yourself as Audrey Hepburn’s character, Princess Ann, embarking on her own Roman adventure.

The company’s owner, Luca Di Trapano, explained that the Vespa Sidecar Tour was born in a flash of inspiration after 2 decades of giving tours in Rome. He thought the concept was genius but later learned his idea was 45 years too late.

The makers of the Vespa stopped producing the model equipped with a sidecar in 1968. Not easily deterred, he persevered and brought his dream to reality. Since 2018, Luca has welcomed over 20,000 passengers on board without a single accident. He told me, “It is like having sailed through the streets of Rome with four or five gigantic cruise ships!”

The tours are 3 hours, depending on traffic. The price is 110 euros per person (about $117) on the small group tour (12 guests max). You can take the tour solo as I did or with a companion or group. Trade places halfway through for a new perspective. A private tour’s price depends on the number of guests.

Here are several reasons why you should explore Rome on this unique Vespa tour.

Easy Meeting Point

Piazza della Repubblica is the tour meeting point. The square is well-connected and easy for drop-offs by taxis and vehicles. Take the subway Line A to the Repubblica-Teatro dell’Opera stop. It’s just a 2-minute walk from the Central Termini Railway Station.

Pro Tip: If you want somewhere to stay close by, I recommend Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel . A restored 19th-century, crescent-shaped palazzo, it fronts Piazza della Repubblica, where the Vespa tour starts. At the assigned time, I met my guide, Alessio, at the concierge desk. My chariot, i.e. baby blue Vespa, was waiting just outside.

The Iconic Landmarks Of Rome

Exploring the highlights of the Eternal City, we visited 12 sights, including the Spanish Steps, Piazza del Popolo, and the Borghese Gardens. There were several opportunities to stop, stretch our legs, and linger, including the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon.

It’s A Blast!

When exploring the beautiful city of Rome, I loved all the astonished looks on people’s faces as we made our way down tight alleys and broad avenues. I felt like a movie star — everyone was smiling, waving, and snapping our photo. We must have been quite a sight; something special to share with family members when you get home.

Avoid The Crowds

What’s the best way to avoid crowds and see a different side of Rome? See it on a Vespa! If you’re fearless, you could rent one yourself. But my advice? Enlist a pro. You will feel much safer riding next to or behind someone who understands the ins and outs of Rome’s streets, where locals think traffic lanes are merely suggestions.

It’s A Beautiful Ride

The Vespa is a classic: These stunning coupes from Italy are iconic on the streets of Rome. Piaggio & Co. started making the Vespa after WWII as cheap, affordable transportation. Eventually, in 1953, the hit movie Roman Holiday showed the world how great a Vespa could be, resulting in record sales. Like the Colosseum, the Italian scooter has remained a part of Italy’s landscape. You will feel like an authentic Italian in the sidecar of a Vespa.

Unique And Unforgettable Way To See The Eternal City

Unlike larger vehicles, a Vespa can easily maneuver through tight spaces, allowing you to see more of the city’s hidden gems and local hotspots. As you zip through the streets, you’ll experience the city in an exciting and unique way. Your guide will share his knowledge of the city’s history and culture, providing insights into the backstories of the pivotal figures in the Roman Empire.

A Driver And Official Guide Rolled Into One

My driver, Alessio, wasn’t just a history buff: He’s also an official guide, which means he’s been trained to lead tours and provide in-depth information on all the sites you’ll see. He knows how to keep you engaged, entertained, and informed, making your Vespa tour an unforgettable experience. Throughout the tour, he shared fascinating facts, historical anecdotes, and his favorite neighborhoods and restaurants. With his expertise and passion for sharing the city’s rich history, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind adventure that you’ll remember for years to come.

Radio-Connected Modern Whispers

As we cruised along the streets of Rome, Alessio provided commentary directly into my ear through a modern whisper system. He pointed out the window overlooking St. Peter’s Square where the Pope makes his Sunday address. It was chilling to see the balcony above the Piazza Venezia, where Mussolini delivered his most famous speech, the declaration of war on France and Britain in 1940.

A Sense Of Freedom And Excitement

Take in Rome’s sights, sounds, and smells from the open-air Vespa sidecar. You can enjoy the warm breeze on your face, witness the daily life of Romans, and immerse yourself in the city’s timeless beauty.

Pro Tip: Three hours is about the right amount of time to get a taste of Rome. I saw much more than I would in a walking tour, and it was a better experience than a hop-on, hop-off bus tour — we could go where large coaches could not.

I Felt Safe

The guides are expert drivers and the top-class helmets have face shields and disposable head covers. The passenger wears a seatbelt with a shoulder harness. We traveled at the most 24 miles per hour; just the right pace. Once you are on board, your unease fades away as you sit back, hold on, and enjoy the thrill of exploring Rome on a Vespa.

The Hidden Gems Of Rome

Rome is one of the most beautiful places in Italy and a real bucket-list destination. But allow some time to visit the hidden gems many tourists miss. Janiculum Hill, called the “Eighth Hill of Rome,” is a beautiful, often overlooked area with the best views of Rome. It’s a bit of a climb on foot, but on a Vespa, sit back and enjoy the ride. Piazzale Garibaldi in the center has the Giuseppe Garibaldi Monument with a cannon that fires daily at noon. Don’t miss the 17th-century Aqua Paola Fountain.

Cappuccino And Cornetto

After visiting the Pantheon, we stopped for a cappuccino and cornetto, the traditional Roman breakfast choice. Our baby blue Vespa was parked nearby and I enjoyed watching how much attention it got from passersby. On the afternoon tours, customers are offered gelato instead.

Unforgettable Experience

This is the perfect gift for someone who has done everything and an unforgettable experience for curious travelers of all ages. You will carry home remarkable moments and fun memories.

Would I recommend Vespa Sidecar Tour? Absolutely. If this had been my first time in Rome, it would have given me a good overview of the places I would like to return to for a deeper dive. I have been to Rome several times, but until now, I’ve never seen the eternal beauty of Rome from the seat of a Vespa sidecar. And the coin I tossed into the Trevi Fountain guarantees I’ll be back.

Has anyone booked a paid guided tour through the hostel? Run by MP tours, city seeing Roma. The one for the Vatican please. Thanks

I did not. When I was in Rome I did the hop on hop off bus. Upgraded and included the tour of the Vatican.. Be wary of Rome. The people are RUDE there, especially at The Vatican! When I came back I have come across multiple friends and some clients who all had the exact same experience in Rome. However the hotel is completely friendly! I had a great experience at the hotel so they are very helpful I would message the hotel and inquire about their tours. Hope that helps! Good Luck

Never heard of MP Tours.

You cannot wander about the Vatican gardens on your own - you are escorted by a Vatican guide even on the walking tours. I would also agree with SSA, that the gardens are not impressive.

There is also a private guided tour for about 300EUR which unfortunately I can’t afford.

As it’s peak season ideally I want to beat the crowds if there is such a thing but can’t see an early morning availability on the official website.

Reseller- What a Life Tours has an early morning 8am “available”. Does anyone have experience of this one?

Will definately book a Colosseum & Roman Forum tour on their official website 30 days out.

I see some "Lunch at the Museums" tickets available for July 4 and 5 ... no guided tour, just general admission and lunch. This may be your cheapest option from the official website.

A fuir à tout prix!

C'est cher alors qu'il n'y a aucun service.

Rome Metro Map

Traveling by metro in rome.

Line C goes through residential parts of the city and isn’t useful for tourists.

Line A is orange on the subway map; Line B is blue; Line C is green. Line A and Line B run in opposite directions, meeting in the middle at the central railway station.

Rome’s transport network of metros, buses , trams , and trains . Line A & B cross in the center of the subway map .

Operating Times

Monday to Thursday 05.30 – 21.00, 21.00 – 23.00 replacement bus service
Friday to Sunday 05.30 – 01.30

Early Closure of Line A in 2023

If you will be in Rome in 2023, it’s really important to know that until at least the end of the year, Metro Line A will close at 21.00 on Monday to Thursday evenings for maintenance work. There is a replacement shuttle bus. In most cases, they are close to the station, but not always. Particularly hard to find is the stop for Spagna, which is on Via Veneto. Instead of a number on the front, these buses have ‘MA’ and the destination.

Line B & Line C

Monday to Thursday 05.30 – 23.30

When the buses stop running, night (notturno) buses take over the same route. These buses have MA (line A) and MB (line B) on the front instead of a number.

The Line B night bus is shown with an owl on a sign outside the Colosseo metro

Buying Tickets

Tickets are available for a single trip (100 minutes), for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, or 7 days. If you’re staying longer than that, there are also monthly tickets.

The same tickets can be used on buses, the underground, trams, and some trains within the city.

There are many places you can buy tickets in Rome:

at ticket machines in the stations. Choose the language you want, the ticket type, and the payment method. If you buy at least €7 worth of tickets at one of the red vending machines, you will automatically get a rechargeable electronic card to use throughout your visit. You can buy a multi-day pass or top the card up one ticket at a time from the vending machines.

at tobacconists (these are easily spotted by the sign with a big white T outside)
from newspaper stands

A newspaper stand (or edicola in Italian)

Tap&Go at the gate to the metro or on buses with your contactless payment card (VISA or Mastercard) or wearable device with NFC tech – the first time you tap your card, you’ll be charged the ticket price. If you take another bus, tram, or metro within 100 minutes, you should tap your card again, but you won’t be charged.

TicketAppy app – this is an easy way to buy tickets on your phone by credit card, ApplePay, or Satispay, then use the QR code at the gate.
DropTicket app – without registering, you can buy tickets on your phone for public transport in Rome and pay for trains and car parks throughout Italy.

Select the language and type of ticket you want to buy

Children under 10 years of age can travel for free when accompanied by a paying adult.

There are no student or senior discounted rates on tickets valid for less than 1 month.

The combined RomaPass includes unlimited access to the city’s transport system for 48 or 72 hours.

How To Take The Metro

It’s not hard to find the metro stations. All stops have large M signs outside at street level.

You’ll find the red metro sign outside all stations

Once inside, you’ll need to get through the barrier.

Single-use tickets are inserted inside the machine, with the arrow facing downwards and towards you. The machine reads the information, stamps the ticket with the date and time, spits it back out, and opens the gate.

Multiday tickets contain electronic data and are held up in front of the yellow circle to be read. The machine will beep if the ticket is valid and open the gate.

QR codes on your phone are held against the screen at the top.

The next step is to work out which way you need to go. At most stations, only the final destination is indicated. So, if you want to go from Termini to the Vatican , you need to follow the signs for Battistini (or direzione Battistini ).

Some signs are more helpful

Currently, you only need your ticket to exit from the station on the B1 line. Most exits are simple turnstiles, which you can pass through without a ticket.

Exit turnstiles

Ticket Controls

As it’s possible to jump over the barriers or get on buses without paying, increasingly, there are groups of ticket inspectors doing spot checks.

On the metro, you’ll often find them waiting at the turnstiles to check that passengers leaving the metro have traveled with a ticket. They will be dressed in ATAC uniforms. When they ask to see your ticket, they will read the electronic data to see if it’s valid.

If you don’t have a ticket, or it isn’t valid for the trip, you will have to show them some form of ID. They will issue a fine if you pay within 5 days. The cost is €54.90. If it takes you 6 or more days to pay, the fine goes up to €104.90. You can pay the inspectors directly by card, but not cash.

Accessibility

For wheelchair users, the metro can be hit and miss and depends on the individual station.

Signs to follow from the platform to the lift

Not all of the stations have elevators or chairlifts to reach the platform. If accessibility is an issue, avoid staying near the Spagna, Barberini, Repubblica, Vittorio Emanuele, or San Giovanni stops.

Repubblica metro station can only be accessed by stairs

Some stations have stairlifts. You’ll need to press the button and call a member of staff to operate it for you.

But even where there are facilities, there’s no guarantee that they will work.

For the visually impaired, there are special rubber tactile paths, that you can follow through the stations to the platform.

A tactile path and wheelchair-accessible ticket barrier

Lifts in some stations, like Termini, have braille buttons and announcements in English and Italian.

There are also announcements in both languages on the trains. These explain which stop is coming up next and which side you need to get off.

Changing Lines

You’ll find metro stations close to some of Rome’s most important monuments. Some of them are on Line A, and some of them are on Line B, but the two lines only have one point of connection.

Lines A and B cross at Termini, the central railway station.

Lines A and C meet at San Giovanni.

And one day, lines B and C will connect at Colosseo, but not right now.

This can make moving from one part of the city to another quite time-consuming.

For example, if you want to go from the Vatican (line A) to the Colosseum (line B), it can be faster to take a bus.

Entrance to metro lines A & B at Termini Station

Popular Metro Stations and Their Monuments

Rome’s central railway station is the only connection point between lines A and B. You can catch the Leonardo Express to Fiumicino here or one of the cheaper coaches outside on Via Giolitti. Termini is also the starting point for the high-speed trains that run frequently to Florence, Naples, Milan, and Venice, and out the front is the bus station, where you’ll find plenty of buses going all over the city.

Ottaviano: The unmissable St. Peter’s Basilica is less than a 10-minute walk from this stop. Don’t miss cocktails on the terrace with the most stunning view of St. Peter’s dome at Terrazza Les Étoiles (Atlante Star Hotel).
Cipro: This will get you closer to the entrance of the Vatican Museums if you have skip-the-line tickets , though if you plan to wait in line, Ottaviano is the better choice as the line forms around the walls of Vatican City in that direction.
Flaminio: One of the entrances to Villa Borghese is right next to the metro. You can also see the great view from Pincio Hill, admire the works of Caravaggio , Bernini , and Raphael in Santa Maria del Popolo church, or take the tram to the stadium to catch a match of one of Rome’s beloved soccer teams .
Spagna: The exit will bring you out on one side of the majestic Spanish Steps. Also close by are the shopping streets of Via dei Condotti and Via del Corso.
Barberini: This stop is close to the luxury hotels of Via Veneto and Rome’s Hard Rock Café. You’ll also find the macabre Crypt of the Capuchin Friars and Palazzo Barberini, one of Rome’s most important art galleries, a few steps away. Head towards Via del Corso, and after a short walk, the stunning Trevi Fountain is off a street to the left.
San Giovanni: Rome’s cathedral is just inside the ancient walls, next to the Holy Stairs (Scala Santa) and Baptistery. You can see them all and do some shopping on Via Appia Nuova from this metro station.
Vittorio Emmanuele: Piazza Vittorio is famous for its impressive food market , where you can find fresh Italian produce, sections for meat and fish, as well as ingredients from around the world.
Colosseo: History lovers stop here to see the Colosseum , Arch of Constantine , Forum , Nero’s Golden House (Domus Aurea), and Trajan’s Market .
Circo Massimo: The historic Circus Maximus is now a public park and occasional concert venue. Wander up to Aventine Hill to see the dome of St. Peter’s through the famous keyhole and visit the Rose Garden. A short walk away are the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla , where from June to August, Rome’s Opera House stages its summer season.
Piramide: You can’t miss the adorable pyramid-shaped ancient tomb just outside the station. A short walk will also take you to the world’s biggest Eataly store, the popular Testaccio market, and lots of traditional restaurants . On Sunday mornings, this is the stop you’ll need if you want to visit the Porta Portese flea market for a mix of bargain prices and antiques. You can also catch trains here to the beach, Ostia Antica , and Fiumicino airport .

Shopping by Metro

The main shopping streets in the center are Via del Corso (Spagna or Flaminio metro) and Via Cola di Rienzo (Lepanto metro). Here you’ll find a mix of Italian brands and international stores like Zara, GAP, and Mango.

More designer shops like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co. are on the super stylish Via dei Condotti and in Piazza di Spagna, including the flagship store of Rome’s most famous designer, Valentino.

At Barberini, check out the Rinascente department store for its choice designer labels and stylish household items. Don’t miss the restaurant with a view on the roof and the ancient Roman aqueduct conserved in the basement.

The Roma-Lido Train

Next to the Piramide metro station is the Roma-Lido station. This little overground train leaves every 15 minutes and goes to Ostia, Rome’s closest beach.

It’s a convenient way to get to Ostia Antica without driving. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the Ostia Antica station. From there, it’s less than 10 minutes on foot to reach the ruins of the ancient port, but there is an overpass from the station to the site that isn’t accessible to anyone who struggles with steps.

Insider Tips

Rush hour is from 07.30 to 09.00 in the morning and in the evening from 18.00 to 20.00. It’s best to avoid traveling at these times, if possible, as trains can be very crowded.
Sometimes it’s quicker to walk. For example, going from the Colosseum to the Circus Maximus or from Termini to Repubblica is quicker on foot than going underground and waiting for the train.
Line B has 2 destinations. The line splits at Bologna, so if you need to go to Tiburtina Railway Station, make sure to get on the train to Rebibbia, not Jonio.

A Line B metro train going to Jonio

At Cavour and Circo Massimo, there isn’t an underground station. Instead, there are entrances directly onto each platform, one on either side of the street, which can be very confusing. If you want to go to Termini, you’ll need the Rebibbia/Jonio entrance.

At Cavour metro station there are different entrances for each platform

Escalators and elevators are frequently out of order. If you rely on them, you can check on the ATAC website, which is currently working.

Don’t be surprised if the metro seems particularly inefficient in the summer months. Large numbers of staff (and Romans) all go on holiday at the same time in July and August, and waiting for trains to pass can increase from 3 minutes to 10-12 minutes in high season.
Learn the word s ciopero (pronounced something like this: sho (like shock) pe (like pear) row (like row a boat), the Italian word for strike. Italians love to strike, and ATAC staff do it a lot, especially on Fridays. Typical strikes run from 08.30 to 17.00 and restart at 20.00 until close. Strikes are announced some days in advance, and there will be warning signs at metro stations, usually taped to the gates, to inform travelers. What will happen on the day is impossible to predict. Everything might close; one line could be operating; there could be a reduced service. Checking the website after 08.30 on the day, or following ATAC on Twitter, is the only way to know for sure.
Other words to learn: ingresso (entrance), uscita (exit), acensore (lift), vietato (forbidden)

An exit sign in a metro station – sometimes signs are only in Italian

If you are planning to stay on Line C, be aware that it’s a commuter line, and metro trains only pass every 10 minutes.

A 3-day metro pass (which also covers buses, trams, and some overground trains) costs €24 at the time of writing. Check the Atac official website for the latest prices.

For a single journey, a metro ticket is currently €2.

Taking the metro in Rome is perfectly safe. When using any public transport system in a major city, you should keep your wits about you. Pickpockets will target tourists on crowded trains so make sure that your valuables aren’t easy to access.

No, the metro is not free to use, though it is very reasonably priced. Confusion may have come from various tourist passes, like the Rome City Card, which includes ‘free’ use of public transport.
