Best transportation from FCO to rome center

Rome/what to do in a day !

Too bad you don't have several days ! Some if the craziest driving I have ever seen is in Rome. That said, just grab a taxi - the official ones have a 'seal' on the door and it's illegal to overcharge.

We went to GALLERIA BORGHESE & booked that tour using THROUGH ETERNITY TOURS. We booked this before we left Canada....in fact we called them in Rome and they were able to help us navigate their booking site using my iPad...so helpful & this was a huge highlight for us...absolutely stunning works of aet etc. They restrict the numbers going through the GALLERIA to 200.

Another vote for the Borghese if you want some quality museum time that isn't overwhelming in scope. Their web site is totally easy to navigate and you can easily reserve your spot before hand. I phoned them and did it that way; they don't even take a credit card number when you do it by phone--you pay when you arrive to pick up the tickets.

If you're looking for a trademark sight, The Colosseum/Forum can't be missed. If you don't do the Vatican (difficult, given your time frame), you might pick out a major church and do a good job with it. Another possibility would be to go out and see the catacombs on the Apian Way.

We pre-purchased tickets to the Vatican and avoided the line completely. As someone said; or else do a tour , yes. We went to the Roman ruins and Colusseum with a small tour company we " accidentally " got connected with and it was the only way to go; otherwise huge lines.

PS we are also in Seattle-Renton

I didn't pre-purchase. But I got a private guide when I was in rome (in total 6 ppl) but we could pass the HUGE lines (in July) and just pass right into the Vatican Museum. EASILY worth the money!
