City Sightseeing Rome Bus tours

Hop on - hop off Rome

City Sightseeing Rome Bus Tours are quite famous because you have them in most all European cities! In Italy the City Sightseeing bus is present in Florence, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Torino, Verona and many more! In fact, if you show a recent bought ticket to the staff in any of the other tours Worldwide, you'll automatically get a 10% discount on the ticket you're buying! When you hop-on, you'll get disposable ear phones so you'll have the chance to listen to informative commentary in eight different languages; Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Russian, while passing by famous monuments.

City Sightseeing Rome Bus Tours has a Visitor Center in Via IV November, 147 near Piazza Venezia in Rome. They offer other tours; like buses going to the famous outlet Castel Romano Outlets, Excursions of all kind or simply providing you with tickets for the Vatican Museum/Sistine Chapel and for the Colosseum without having to stand on line.

Even if the bus frequency is every 20 minutes, traffic can get quite bad in Rome. On Saturday mornings or Sundays, traffic in Rome is better because many locals are out of town. Saturday afternoon it gets crowded again because many people from the outskirts come to the city center for shopping! For this reason you might like to consider taking any bus tour when traffic isn't so heavy. During the summer months it can get very hot sitting on top of the bus without air-conditioning and an open roof top! I strongly recommend sun tan lotion and something to cover your head. There is no air-conditioning in the bottom part either. The stops have no sun shades and the wait can be a little longer during high tourist season. Sometimes it’s hard to follow what monument is being described because you could be stuck in traffic for a while but the commentary goes on…

Time tables: The buses go every day, all year round. City Sightseeing bus tours only have one route which start out at two different Terminals. The reason for this is because they don't want to have large crowds waiting in one point and they'd like the customer to have two choices on what area is better for them to reach.

The first bus starts at 9.00 at the Termini Train station in the street Via Marsala 7 and the last ride goes at 8.15PM from Piazza Barberini (Via Barberini 2) near the famous Via Veneto! The official bus frequency is every 20 minutes if the bus starts out at Terminal A; Termini Marsala - Via Marsala 7 or 45/60 minutes if the bus starts out at Terminal B; Largo di Villa Peretti - Largo di Villa Peretti 1.

What to expect from a City Sightseeing Rome bus tour:

In my opinion City Sightseeing Bus Tours give you one of the best, understandable maps when you get on the bus! It explains where you have to walk too and what's important to see. The map also has little pictures of the monuments on it to make it easier to understand.

Open Bus tours can be quite fun depending on the time of the year you’re visiting and the weather conditions. The Metro may be quicker to get from point A to B and you’ll have more time for your monuments but at the same time you’ll always be underground …maybe a good solution would be to through a day in for an open top bus ride!

Sometimes it can happen that routes get diverted because of demonstrations or strikes.
