With its rich culture, storied history, delicious food and excellent wine, it’s no wonder travelers flock to Rome. The Eternal City takes visitors back to the Golden Age as they explore the beauty, monuments and remains of ancient Rome.
GETTING THERE & AROUND
Visitors to Rome can fly in and out of two international airports: Rome Fiumicino International Airport and Rome Ciampino Airport. International travelers can find direct routes from U.S. cities such as New York (JFK), Philadelphia (PHL), Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX) and Atlanta (ATL). Domestic travelers can also take a flight or a train to get to the city. It’s easiest to get around within the city by walking or taking the metro, tram or taxi.
