Rome
Rome is the capital city of Italy, located in the central-western portion of the Italian peninsula, on the Tiber River. Rome’s history as a city spans over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of Western Civilisation. Even outside of the history of the Roman Empire, Rome has a significant place in the story of Christianity up to the present day as the home of the Roman Catholic Church. As one of the few major European cities that escaped World War II relatively unscathed, central Rome remains essentially Renaissance and Baroque in character. Rome is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the European Union, and its Historic Center is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Rome is the seat of the Italian Government; the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic and the Italian Prime Minister, the seats of both houses of the Italian Parliament and that of the Italian Constitutional Court.
Transportation
Rome has two main international airports:
- Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport (IATA: FCO) is Italy’s chief airport. It is more commonly known as “Fiumicino Airport” and it is located at 32 km from Rome city centre.
- Giovan Battista Pastine International Airport (IATA: CIA) is a joint civilian and military airport. It is more commonly referred to as “Ciampino Airport”. The airport is an important hub for many low-cost carriers.
Due to its location in the centre of the Italian peninsula, Rome is a principal railway node for central Italy. Rome’s main train station, Termini, is one of the biggest train stations in Europe and the most heavily used in Italy. The second-largest station in the city is Roma Tiburtina. Other main stations include Ostiense, Trastevere and Tuscolana.
A 3-line metro system called the Metropolitana operates in Rome. Above-ground public transport in Rome is made up of a bus and tram network. Please visit Atac Roma for more information on metro and bus routes and schedules.
