Welcome to the Eternal City, where ancient history meets modern Italian flair. Whether you're tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain or hunting down the perfect plate of cacio e pepe, staying connected makes everything easier. Grab a JamboSim eSIM and navigate Rome's winding streets with ease. 🍕
Arriving at Fiumicino (FCO)? The Leonardo Express train is your fastest option, whisking you to Termini station in just 32 minutes for €14. If you fly into Ciampino (CIA), the SIT Bus Shuttle or Terravision buses take about 40 minutes to reach the city centre for around €6. Taxis from Fiumicino have a fixed flat rate of €50 to central Rome, while rides from Ciampino cost €31. Just make sure it’s an official white city taxi!
Rome is best explored on foot, but its public transport network—comprising buses, trams, and two main metro lines (A and B)—is handy for longer distances. A single BIT ticket costs €1.50 and is valid for 100 minutes of travel. You can simply tap your contactless card on buses and at metro gates. While the metro gets you to major sights like the Colosseum and Vatican, buses navigate the historic core. Taxis are available at ranks, or use the Free Now app.
While you'll find free public Wi-Fi in some squares and most cafes or hotels, relying on it while navigating the labyrinth of Rome's ancient streets is a recipe for getting lost. Walking from the Pantheon to Piazza Navona requires reliable mapping. With a JamboSim eSIM, you have your own secure, high-speed data everywhere you go. Skip the sketchy open networks and avoid expensive roaming fees from your home provider while hunting down the best gelato in town.
When ordering coffee in Italy, remember that a 'caffè' means an espresso. If you want a milky coffee like a cappuccino, drink it before 11 AM—locals rarely order it after meals. Tap water is safe and delicious; bring a reusable bottle and fill up at the numerous 'nasoni' (little nose) public fountains scattered across the city. Be aware that dinner typically starts around 8:30 PM, and tipping isn't obligatory but leaving a few euros for good service is appreciated.
