My number one budget recommendation is The Beehive near Termini Station. They offer a clean, quaint
Yesterday I recorded a segment with Pauline Frommer hampton inn myrtle beach for her radio program The Travel Show on WOR 710 . The theme was budget travel in Rome. I ll link to the segment when it airs, but I wanted to share some tips for visiting Rome on a budget. Some of these tidbits will end up on the program, others will not, so here s the whole shebang so you can maximize your euros in Rome.
My number one budget recommendation is The Beehive near Termini Station. They offer a clean, quaint environment from €25 a person (for dorm beds) and friends and clients who have stayed there always rave about the place. Also near Termini, hampton inn myrtle beach La Casa di Amy has rooms from €50 and down in Monti, Hotel Grifo and Hotel de Monti have rooms from €45.
Airbnb offers some great self-catering apartments, though the chance of finding really cheap digs is much lower in Rome than in other European cities. Lots of the listings are actually not for apartments, but for B Bs, so that s not ideal if you are looking for a kitchen and some extra space. However, the testimonials for these venues tend to be more accurate than what you find on fraud-ridden TripAdvisor.
Rome has some really expensive sites (the Vatican Museums hampton inn myrtle beach costs €20 per person with reservations and the combo ticket for the Palatine/Forum/Colosseum costs €12 and no discounts for kids and you pay the same fee wether you visit one site or all three!), but visitors can cash in on lots of free art in churches. Here are just a few highlights:
hampton inn myrtle beach Visiting sites that are privately owned (that is, not part of the city or state museum circuit) is relatively cheap. The spectacular Villa Farnesina costs just €5 to visit and they offer discounts for seniors and students. The Palazzo Farnese has €5 guided visits in English every Wednesday at 5pm. Visit this site for booking and details.
There are a few multi-day museum passes that come in handy if you plan properly. Before you buy them, bear in mind that most state- and city-owned sites are closed Mondays, so if your 3-day Roma Pass includes a Monday, you may want to reconsider.
Roma Pass: This €30 three-day pass includes 2 free admission tickets (to get the most bang for your buck, use it at the pricey Forum/Palatine/Colosseum complex and Galleria Borghese), unlimited public transport access, and discounted admission to museums and cultural sites after the two free admissions have been used. Details here .
Roma Pass Piu : This suped up version of the Roma Pass costs €32 and offers transport beyond the city of Rome and provides free or discounted admission to sites in the Provincia di Roma. Details here .
You get the most out of your Roma Pass if you use lots of public transport; a three-day pass alone costs €16.50. Familiarize yourself with the bus routes on the city transport website . The metro is pretty simple, but the buses and trams can be confusing and unreliable at times.
Appia Antica hampton inn myrtle beach Card: This card costs €6 and is vaild for 7 days. It includes one entrance each to the Baths of Caracalla, Tomb of Cecilia Metella, and Villa dei Quintili. If you purchase individual tickets to any of these sites, admission to the other two are automatically hampton inn myrtle beach included, hampton inn myrtle beach so there are no discounts for visiting a single site. This is one of the best bargains in town.
Museo Nazionale Romano: Like the Appia Antica Card, you get it automatically when you purchase a ticket hampton inn myrtle beach at one of the four National Museums. It costs €7 (€10 if there is an exhibition in progress), is valid for three days, and provides access to the spectacular collections at Palazzo hampton inn myrtle beach Massimo, Palazzo hampton inn myrtle beach Altemps, Crypta Balbi, and Terme di Diocleziano. A steal.
Archeologia Card: This card is valid for 7 days and costs €23. This covers entrances to four National Museums (Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps, Crypta Balbi, and Terme di Diocleziano), the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Forum, and the sites on the Appia Antica Card. If you purchase hampton inn myrtle beach online , you have to pick it up at the Colosseum and since there is a fee for online bookings, you end up saving only 50 cents! This card makes no sense.
One great thing about Rome is that it is a living museum and a stroll through any given neighborhood can reveal exceptional architecture and archeology . Everyone hampton inn myrtle beach can enjoy it for free. Check out the Parco degli Acquedotti, the Coppede district, the Flaminio neighborhood, and Trastevere for proof.
Visitors to Rome often underestimate the expense of a trip to Pompeii. It is not close to Rome and is not a logical day trip, unless you have unlimited energy and love shlepping. I highly recommend visiting Ostia Antica instead. This amazing archological park is a 30-minute trip from Rome, costs €3 round trip using public transport and tickets to the site cost €6.50.
The city gets packed out with pilgrims and Italian tourists during public and Catholic holidays and hotels often raise prices. Here are some travel dates to avoid: January 1, January 6, March 17, Good Friday-Easter Monday, April 25, May 1, June 2, August 15, November 1, December 8, December 25, December 26.
Completely agree with Hotel Grifo. My husband and I spent our honeymoon three years ago and spent it in the Cavour neighborhood. Hotel Grifo was wonderful. hampton inn myrtle beach When we returned back from Sorrento and Formia, we stayed at Hotel Ivanhoe and liked that even more. Can t wait to return!
Hi! take a train between Rome and the port in civitavecchia. it is cheap and relatively convenient, while car transfers are very expensive (if you decide to go that route i recommend SCS autonoleggio)

I d like to ask if Roma+PUI Pass is beneficial for non-EU citizens. I m an Asian and I d like to know how I can save money without compromising my travel in Rome. Base on my understanding, free admissions to museums are mostly meant for EU citizens with the pass. Please enlighten me on this.
The Roma Passes are designed for EU citizens, who do not otherwise qualify for discounts. You get the most out of it by planning your time and using the Roma Pass for the Forum/Colosseum/Palatine, the Galleria Borghese and by using the bus/metro/tram. Enjoy!
