Useful
Links for Living in Rome
| For
living, working or simply vacationing in Italy, we have selected
a few links that we consider very useful for anyone who has
just arrived in Rome. So if this is your first time in Italy,
we suggest taking a look at some of the following web sites.
Unless specified all web sites are in english or have an
english section. |

Public
transportation (subway and buses) - don’t be fooled
by the good looking web site, public transportation is
inefficient to say the least: Buses are late with swiss
regularity, and the subway is very small. |

Trains -
Trains in Italy vary. Fast trains "Eurostar" are
comfortable, and often without delays. |

Taxis -
finding a taxi in the streets of Rome is very easy, convincing
the driver to stop is a lot harder. Do as the romans do,
call. Service is usually very fast for most central areas

of the major authorized companies.
