How Do You Travel To Rome On A Budget?
Free art is everywhere. In a place as historic as Rome, you don’t have to look too far to find amazing art and architecture, especially in places of worship. Most churches around Rome house magnificent works of art that you can see free of charge—we viewed Caravaggio paintings at Santa Maria del Popolo, and saw Bernini’s statue of St. Teresa in Ecstasy at Santa Maria della Vittoria. Also, the Vatican Museums are normally closed on Sundays, except for the last Sunday of each month when they offer free admission from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We were able to save about $25 each by braving the crowds (the line to get in wrapped around the block, but only lasted 25 minutes). Well worth it to get free access to Michelangelo’s masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel. You can plan ahead for booking to popular site. Try to reserve tickets to popular places like the Borghese Gallery and Vatican Museums ahead of time online to avoid long lines. This gets you a three–day metro pass and entrance to sites. You can see Rome tourist attractions.
• Look for low cost train/plane tickets to Rome. Train tickets are cheaper the earlier you book them. Many tickets are canceled at the last minute. Therefore, you can book them for a low cost as long as you are flexible about dates, locations, etc. If you travel with a large group, there are special discounts. • Select your accommodations early. This is very important, because you need to find a secure place close to all the attractions. If you travel with a group, an apartment will be convenient. If you travel alone or with a partner, it is more suitable to stay in a bed & breakfast or a hostel. You can find lodging for less than 50 euros a night, if you search online. For large groups, it’s very common to find discounts. If not, try searching directly in the place you want to visit. Find cheap food. The small restaurants and snack bars are cheaper, and sometimes they even taste better. Try cantines and family restaurants.
