Getting around
From the airport
From Fiumicino, the Leonardo Express reaches Termini in about 32 minutes and costs roughly โช55 per person; an official taxi to central Rome within the Aurelian Walls has a fixed fare of about โช215 and usually takes 40-60 minutes. From Ciampino, a bus to Termini costs around โช25 and takes 40-60 minutes, while an official taxi to the center is about โช170.
Need a car?
No. In Rome, a car is mostly a burden because of ZTL restricted zones, traffic and costly parking; walk and combine Metro, buses and taxis. Rent only when leaving for Tuscany, Umbria or towns outside the city.
Tips
Tap a contactless bank card at Metro gates and every time you board a bus using Tap&Go, including on transfers. Order through itTaxi or use an official taxi rank, and ignore drivers soliciting passengers inside the terminal.
Kosher & Jewish
Chabad / community
Chabad Rome operates around Piazza Bologna, close to Bologna Metro station, generally offering prayers, pre-booked Shabbat meals and traveler assistance. The Jewish Ghetto is home to the Great Synagogue of Rome and the Jewish Museum of Rome; synagogue entry is subject to security screening, so bring a passport and confirm schedules and registration in advance.
Kosher food
The most convenient cluster of kosher restaurants and shops is around Via del Portico d'Ottavia in the Jewish Ghetto, including well-known options such as Ba'Ghetto, BellaCarne and Fonzie The Burger's House. Kosher-observant Israelis often stay in the quarter or book an apartment with a kitchen, stock up at local kosher groceries and verify current certification on site; reserve Friday-night meals in advance because kosher businesses close before Shabbat.

Local tips
Good to know about Rome
- ๐จFor a first visit, stay in Monti, near the Pantheon, or in Prati; a cheaper hotel by Termini may save money, but the area is less pleasant at night and removed from the atmosphere that makes Rome special.
- ๐๏ธBook timed tickets for the Colosseum and Vatican Museums in advance, and choose the earliest Vatican entry because the corridors become extremely crowded by mid-morning.
- ๐From Fiumicino, the Leonardo Express to Termini costs about โช55 and takes roughly 32 minutes; couples with luggage should compare it with the official fixed taxi fare of about โช220 to destinations within the Aurelian Walls.
- ๐ฐCarry a reusable bottle and refill it at the cityโs nasoni fountains, which provide cold drinking water and spare you inflated prices near major sights.
- โก๏ธFor a kosher meal, check for current certification at restaurants in the Jewish Ghetto and reserve ahead, especially for Thursday evening and Friday, when opening hours change before Shabbat.
- ๐On the metro, bus 64, and around Trevi and the Colosseum, keep your phone and wallet in a front pocket or closed bag, and never leave them on an outdoor table even briefly.

"Rome never tries to feel orderly or perfect, and that is exactly its charm: every turn reveals a piazza, courtyard, or two-thousand-year-old ruin. Israelis fall for it because you can start the morning facing the Pantheon, pause for a standing espresso, and finish with the orange sunset from Giardino degli Aranci."
Loves
My local secret is exploring Via Appia Antica on Sunday, when the road is quieter, passing umbrella pines, catacombs, and ancient Roman stones. Rent a bike near Porta San Sebastiano and within twenty minutes it feels as if you have left the city behind.
Skip
I avoid restaurants with photo menus and hosts pulling in passersby around Piazza Navona, because you are usually paying for the view rather than the food.
Boutique pick
I begin at the Trevi Fountain at sunrise before the crowds arrive, continue through the Pantheon and Campo deโ Fiori market, then slow down in Villa Borghese. Toward evening, we walk down from Giardino degli Aranci to the Jewish Ghetto, finishing with a pre-booked kosher dinner and a nighttime stroll along the Tiber.
