The Rome Metro is one of the youngest in Europe. It was opened in 1955. Its total length is only 60 kilometers. The main reason for this is that during underground work they often stumble upon archaeological monuments. The metro consists of 74 stations and three lines: A - orange, B - blue, C - green. On the map you will also find line B1 - a branch of line B, and the fourth, yellow D line, which is planned for the future. The Rome Metro is managed by the transport company ATAC, which also controls the city's suburban electric trains. Urban electric trains depart from the Tiburtini station. They use regular tickets.
As I already noted, the Rome metro has three lines. These are:
- Orange line A: Battistini - Anagnina; popular stops: Cipro (near the Vatican Museums), Ottaviano (St. Peter's Basilica), Spagna (Spanish Steps), Barberini (Trevi Fountain);
- Blue Line B: Laurentina - Rebibbia; popular stops: Colosseo (Colosseum and Roman Forum);
- Green Line C is the newest. It has not yet been completed. Its stations are also museums. You can buy a ticket with or without a guided tour. It should be noted that the trains on this line run without a driver, using the well-known Metro Ansaldobreda Automatic technology.
The Rome metro runs from 05:30 to 23:30, and on Fridays and Saturdays - until 01:30. Trains run at intervals of 5-10 minutes. Please note that the Rome metro is often overcrowded, so be careful not to get robbed.
I remind you that you must stamp your ticket before entering the metro. Since the Rome metro is a form of public transport, regular tickets and cards are used for travel. For full information about them, see Public transport in Rome. Keep your purchased ticket until the end of your trip. Otherwise, the inspector will fine you.
When traveling on the metro, pay attention to the information boards and signs so as not to accidentally go the wrong way.
