How to catch the Rome hop-on hop-off bus
You can join the tour at any designated stop along the route, with Termini Station often serving as a main hub. Most stops are conveniently located near metro stations or major landmarks.
By Train
If arriving at Roma Termini, the main railway station, head to the large bus terminal in Piazza dei Cinquecento right outside. Many hop-on hop-off lines have their starting point or a major stop here.
By Car
Driving in Rome's historic center is restricted (ZTL zones) and stressful. It is highly recommended to park in a paid garage outside the ZTL or near Termini Station, then walk to the nearest sightseeing bus stop.
By Bus
Rome's public ATAC buses connect every corner of the city. Stops near Termini, Piazza Venezia, or the Vatican are major interchanges where you can easily switch to a sightseeing bus.
On Foot
If you are staying in the Centro Storico, you are likely within walking distance of a stop. Look for the distinct signs near the Colosseum, Castel Sant'Angelo, or Via del Corso.
