Where can get a COVID Antigen Test in Rome?

[twinzmommy]

I tried searching the forums for the answer, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

 

We are boarding in July in Civitavecchia.  We are staying in Piazza Navona prior to the cruise.  Everyone is vaccinated and boosted.  We're arriving 5 days before the cruise (the day of the cruise is our 5th day in Rome), so testing in the US before leaving isn't an option since they require a negative test no more than 2 days before boarding day.

 

Royal Caribbean doesn't offer a list of pharmacies, etc. advising where we can test in Rome or near the port.  Does anyone here have experience getting a test at an English speaking pharmacy in Rome?

 

Thanks!

Just ask the front desk at your hotel for the closest one.

Lots of practical info shared on the Ports of Call board for Italy here on CC, including a pinned topic on testing in Italy.

 

I've listed this link several times re: finding places in Rome:  https://thetourguy.com/travel-blog/italy/rome/where-to-get-a-covid-test-in-rome-this-year/

 

Almost ANY pharmacy in the historic area of Rome (where most tourists go and stay) will speak English.

Thank you both for the great advice.  I emailed the hotel as well as took a look at the website.

We got our tests at the airport in Rome.  Just need to make reservations in advance.

We did 2 weeks ago, so easy and so convenient! We did it Pre cruise but was looking for a pharmacy POST cruise on last day of cruise, but they were all booked up. It was a NIGHTMARE getting it done at the airport AND also using the E-Kits that FAILED! Most speak English, I wouldn't worry!

Most pharmacies test you. Ask your hotel for the closest one.

We are spending 3 nights pre-cruise in a hotel on Piazza Navona and found a pharmacy just off the piazza that does testing: Via di Tor Millina 6.
