euro cruiser Posted April 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Does anyone know approximately how much a taxi would cost from the cruise terminal to downtown Rome?Thanks The lowest would be 120 Euro, but 150 is probably more realistic. I would absolutely negotiate a flat fee before getting in the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet&Carl Posted April 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Does anyone know approximately how much a taxi would cost from the cruise terminal to downtown Rome?Thanks The train is easy - all train ticket machines have language options including English and it costs 9 euro return ticket from port to Rome and back. It takes about half an hour - trains are frequent and you will beat all the buses or taxis on the busy roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....close. :o A one-way ticket to Rome on a regionale train is 5 euro, while the BIRG costs 12 euro (return trip plus use of metros and buses in Rome all day). The train takes closer to an hour into Rome, although there are four stations. You may be better off exiting the train at San Pietro (for the Vatican) or getting off at Ostiense and changing to the metro (for the Colosseum) than going all the way to the main station at Termini.

Ruthie2 Posted April 24, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thank you for the information. I think I will try to book a shared shuttle. We are seniors and have a few pieces of luggage and so we are not sure we want to try lifting luggage onto a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted April 24, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Several years ago we had planned on taking the train but one of us was under the weather so we opted for a taxi...€170 yikes :eek:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waihekean Posted April 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Try to share a transfer van with some of your roll callers. Very easy to organise and will cost about 25-30 euro's per person. We used RomeCabs. Found them through CC here and they are very used to cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
