Rome's Best Travel Routes

Rome is lively at night, with families, couples, and groups of friends strolling until late. But like any major city, there are areas and habits that keep you safer.

Things to keep in mind ⚠️

• Well-lit areas: Stick to main streets at night—Via del Corso, Piazza Navona, Trastevere’s central piazzas. Avoid deserted alleys.
• Stations at night: Termini and its surroundings feel uncomfortable after 11 p.m. Better to take a taxi if you arrive late.
• Public transport: Buses and trams run at night, but with reduced frequency. Night buses (notturni) exist, but they can be confusing for visitors.

Safer alternatives

• Use IT Taxi or FreeNow apps to call a licensed taxi.
• If you’re in Trastevere or Monti at night, walk towards a taxi stand instead of waiting in a quiet street.
• For solo travelers, share your location in real time with a friend back home.

📝Local Tip: Romans rarely walk long distances home at night. They enjoy the passeggiata after dinner, but when it’s time to get across town, they take a taxi. Follow their example—you’ll save energy and avoid stress.
