There Are Many Different Ways To Get About Rome Hotels And Attractions

Rome is a fascinating city, one where you can discover an ancient temple ruin around every corner. The architecture, monuments and cobbled streets make walking the city an enjoyable and awe-inspiring experience, one which you would miss by taking the metro from place to place. Yet travelling by foot is just one of many methods of transport available to visitors of Rome, and it’s worth considering different options. You can find hotel deals all year round.

The one method of transport most associated with the Italian way of life is surely the moped, or scooter. If you’re visiting Rome it’s worth considering hiring one to get about on, although you’d want to be a confident driver or have experience riding a scooter before taking on the Italian traffic! If that sounds like you, you will find several scooter (or motorino) rental companies around Rome who can hire you some wheels for your holiday. Look for Rome hotels with scooter parking spaces.

One of the best ways of seeing a city is to travel by bicycle. Cycling will help keep you fit, it’s versatile, and almost anyone can do it. You don’t even need your own bike, either, with Rome’s new bike sharing program making this option available to everybody. Pick up a ticket from the Termini for 5 euros, which will give you 10 full hours of cycling time to use as and when you feel the need. There are plenty of bike stations around the city, so you won’t have any trouble finding an available bicycle.

The most fun and unique way to travel is on a segway, a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle. There are a few segway companies in Rome, although you will need to travel as part of a tour. This is hardly a bad thing, however, as you will find safety in numbers, and this way you can visit the highlights of Rome and learn some fascinating facts about the city’s history.

Then again, should these options seem like too much hard work, then sit back and take a boat trip up the Tiber river. These hop-on-hop-off boats run regular journeys, and even though the river’s high walls obscure any chance of a city view, you can still take in the beautiful river and enjoy an air-conditioned ride to your destination. At the end of a long day of walking or cycling it’s the most relaxing way for visitors to get back to their Rome hotels.
