Many ways to Rome



One of them is form Eindhoven,
1. You choose Ryanair from eindhoven airport to ciampino (ITA), an airport near rome (about 30 mnts)

2. take bus 401 or 145 from eindhoven station to the eindhoven airport.

3. As soon as you arrive in ciampino, IT IS BETTER if you buy a ticket on board (4 euro) ! you can also buy a ticket in at the desk in the airport (3.9 euro) if you want to go to TERMINI station. There is another bus to Anagnina as well from ciampino. In the airport you can buy day ticket for 4 euro each ticket of 11 euro for 3 days.

4. I stayed in hotel called CAPUT MUNDI, very close to the termini station.

5. Around this hotel as well you can find some cheap menu (since the portion is large and a lot). We usually take 10 euro menu in the restaurante La Ginestra (red-dot in the map) and we share (up to 3 people hahaha).

6. For toilets, mainly you have to pay, but you can go to some SELF SERVICE restaurante and have it for free there :D... and it has to be self service restaurante otherwise you'll be kicked out ! haha

7. Things you will not do:
a. In colloseum there are a lot of people with the rome soldiers' custom ask you and sometimes force you to have a picture... DO NOT TAKE IT ! it cost 10 euro per person hehehe, you have to ask before you do !
b. sharing food in a big restaurante (except in the restaurante that i suggested).
c. pay without checking the price. You HAVE TO check all things you bought before you left the cashier.

8. If you hear a man say: "Fanculo, Katso, or Pale.." it means he is angry hahahahaha


To Vatican:

9. from TERMINI station take bus number 40. There 2 types of this bus, 40 and 40 express both are going to vatican city or you can travel by metro A (dir. Batitstini). And the easiest way to go back is using metro A (dir. Anagnina) again to Termini.

10. Every wednesday, pope leads a Mass in St. Peter square (10 am but you have to be there i guess 2 hour before). But you can also attend a Mass in side the St. Peter Basillica every day.
