The main stations in Rome are Stazione Termini (Piazza dei Cinquecento) and Stazione Tiburtina (Piazza della Stazione Tiburtina). Both stations are connected to the network by the underground and many buses in all directions leave from outside the stations. For information on times and ticket prices we advise you to connect the railway company site Ferrovie dello Stato, where after registering you can also buy tickets on-line and pick them up on the train itself.
By Coach
Across the road from Tiburtina Station there is a coach station with departures for other Italian cities and abroad. The ticket offices for this service are in the shops along the side of the square.
By Car
For those coming from the North the best way to reach Rome is the A1 Milano-Roma motorway. Those arriving from the West of Italy should take the Aurelia and then the Civitavecchia-Roma motorway. Those arriving from the Adriatic Coast can reach Rome via the Roma-L'Aquila motorway while from the South take the A1. All the motorways intersect Rome's ring road, called Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA), which has junctions for the centre and the outskirts of Rome.
