just got back a few weeks ago from our Mediterranean & Greek

cruise on ruby princess we flew from jfk to Rome direct flight.

the this is what the airline served as. we almost lost a day going to rome they gave as a wrong printed ticket to amsterdam good thing they have another flight out that day 2 hrs later.cab is ride to our hotel was 50.00 euros.and the taxis are available just outside the baggage claim arrea. we stayed in hotel capo d" Africa for 2 days pre cruise the hotel is about 10 mins walked to the coliseum we book our touTicket Office online of the Vatican Museums we did the Vatican garden tour that was nice for 2 hrs

then walked around town if you were going to do a lot of walking wear a good pair shoes remember the cobblestones the trains are very easy to navigate or just maybe i'm from NYC lol so no big deal here its 2 underground lines (A-B) stop at most major tourist sites as well asintersect at stazione termini, the central train station.look for the big red" M" signs for entrace into the subway. i book our tours prior to coming to rome
