Scotchick Posted March 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Do the hoho buses run at night in Rome. Would like to see Rome by night. Thought it would be a cheaper way to see Rome at night or should I just call a taxi - anyone know what it would cost. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted March 11, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Do the hoho buses run at night in Rome. Would like to see Rome by night. Thought it would be a cheaper way to see Rome at night or should I just call a taxi - anyone know what it would cost. TIA. This is the website of the open top bus http://www.trambusopen.com/index.cfm?Id=110. It seems it only runs until 8.30pm so it depends what time of year you're going as to whether it will be dark. I think you would get a better view from the top floor of the bus than from a taxi. However, some of the scenes best seen at night - such as the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps, cannot be seen from the bus but are a short walk away from one of the bus stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotchick Posted March 11, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thank you. I think that is too early to really appreciate the sites by night. I will probably take a taxi. Thank you, May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koshlong Posted March 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2009 You might want to check into something like this night tour by bus: http://www.viator.com/tours/Rome/Rome-by-Night-Tour/d511-2390GRET10 Thanks, this looks very interesting. We arrive in Rome a couple of days early and were wondering what we'd have the energy to do the first day. This would give a couple of hours to collapse and then a good overview before the walking stuff the nest day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
