Rome Tours & Activities
Unless you're already in Italy or Europe and can drive or take the train, first you're going to need some plane tickets. That's easy; just follow my step-by-step guide to finding the cheapest airfare every time.
Useful Italian
ticket - biglietto
train - treno
train track - binario
station - stazione
coach/intercity bus - pullman
local bus - autobus
bus stop - fermata
parking - parcheggio
airport - aeroporto
And don't forget to canvas the new, alternative transatlantic carrier EuroFly, which often undersells Alitalia and the other major airlines.
(I flew Eurofly last fall to Sicily, and it was fantastic: good service, comfy seats, and even the latest in seat-back screen technology, allowing me to pick my own movies and other entertainment from a menu of options.)
