ATAC Strikes

Rome’s public transport operator ATAC runs periodic strikes (scioperi), often announced 5–10 days in advance. Check the ATAC service status page before travel for disruption alerts. If buses or Metro are suspended, an official taxi or rideshare (Uber / FREE NOW) is the most reliable fallback.

Tickets & Validation

Bus

Airport Shuttles

Shuttle buses like Terravision, SIT Bus Shuttle, and T.A.M. serve both airports.

Official Taxi

Official Rome taxis are white, have a “Comune di Roma” crest, and a taxi sign on the roof.

Always use the official rank outside the terminals/station. Ignore solicitors offering rides.

Rideshare

Check the License

Ensure the vehicle has an “NCC” sticker (Rental with Driver) on the rear window. This is the only legal way for non-taxi rideshare vehicles to operate.

ATMs and currency

Locations

ATMs are available throughout airports and the station.

Avoid the ATM Trap
  • Only use bank-affiliated ATMs (e.g., UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo). Avoid Euronet or generic kiosks.
  • Always decline the machine’s currency conversion. Choose to be charged in Euros (EUR) to let your home bank handle the rate and avoid fees up to 13%.

Accessibility & Safety

Cobblestone Warning

In the city center, “Sanpietrini” (black cobblestones) are slippery and uneven. Wear sturdy shoes and avoid rolling suitcases with small plastic wheels over them, as they may snap.
