Transport Tips

  • Buy multi-day transit passes if available — they almost always save money
  • Walking is free and the best way to discover neighborhoods
  • Book intercity trains in advance for the best fares
  • Use ride-sharing apps (Uber, Bolt, Grab) instead of street taxis for fair pricing
  • Book high-speed trains early on Trenitalia or Italo for fares as low as €9.
  • Visit free churches and piazzas instead of paid museums on busy days.
