Guidance for navigating Rome smoothly throughout your stay
What
Rome has 3 metro lines: A, B/B1 and C. On the official ATAC metro map, Line A crosses Line B/B1 at Termini and Line C at San Giovanni. For guests staying at Scipioni Relais in Prati, Line A is usually the most useful: it connects easily with areas such as Ottaviano / Vatican, Spagna, Barberini, Termini, and San Giovanni. Line B/B1 is useful for destinations such as Colosseo, Circo Massimo, Ostiense, Tiburtina, and EUR. Line C is mainly useful for eastern / south-eastern parts of Rome.
Where
The nearest and most practical stop is Ottaviano on Line A, about 150 metres / 3 minutes on foot from Scipioni Relais. Lepanto, also on Line A, is another useful option and is about 8 minutes on foot.. For most central sightseeing routes, Line A will be the easiest starting point from Prati.
When
Metro services normally run from 5:30 AM to 11:30 PM from Sunday to Thursday, and until 1:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. After metro service ends, night buses continue along similar routes.
Cost
The most useful ticket for occasional travel is the BIT ticket, which currently costs €1.50 and is valid for 100 minutes. It can be used across metro, buses, trams, trolleybuses, and some urban rail services, although on the metro it is valid for one entry / one journey through the turnstiles. For heavier use in one day, ROMA 24H currently costs €7.00, ROMA 48H €12.50, and ROMA 72H €18.00.
Where to buy tickets

What / Where
From the Prati / Scipioni area, some of the most useful bus lines are:
81 — useful for reaching parts of the historic centre, including the Vatican / Risorgimento side, Piazza Venezia, and the broader Colosseum / San Giovanni direction. ATAC shows the line running between Crescenzio / Risorgimento and Malatesta, and tourist guides commonly recommend it as one of the most useful sightseeing bus lines.
Best nearby stop: Crescenzio / Risorgimento.
492 — useful for crossing the city between the Vatican / Cipro / Prati area and Tiburtina Station, passing through central areas such as Piazza Venezia along the way. ATAC lists the line between Cipro (Line A) and Tiburtina (Line B).
Nearby stop: Ottaviano or Crescenzio / Risorgimento.
590 — useful if you need to travel south-east along Metro Line A, for destinations such as Re di Roma, Ponte Lungo, and Cinecittà. ATAC lists the line between Cipro and Cinecittà, with stops including Ottaviano, Appia / Re di Roma, and Appia / Ponte Lungo.
Nearby stop: Ottaviano (Metro A).
32 — useful for reaching Saxa Rubra and the northern part of the city. ATAC lists the line between Giulio Cesare / Ottaviano (Line A) and Saxa Rubra.

Bus 913 — useful for the Monte Mario side.
Nearby stop: Giulio Cesare / Ottaviano (Metro A) or Crescenzio / Risorgimento.
Tram 19 / 19L — For tram connections, the most useful corridor from this area is usually the 19 / 19L route, which links the Prati / Giulio Cesare / Ottaviano side with Valle Giulia / Flaminio, and on the wider route toward Porta Maggiore / Centocelle.
Please note that tram services in Rome are currently subject to periodic works and replacement bus services, so it is always best to check the official ATAC Status Updates page before travelling
When
Operating hours vary by line and direction, so it is best to check the official ATAC Plan your Journey tool before travelling. For late-evening travel, ATAC also provides dedicated night-line maps, as some routes change after regular daytime service ends. Tram services may also be affected by temporary works or replacement buses, so the Status Updates page is useful before setting out.
Cost
Buses and trams are also covered by the same ATAC / Metrebus Roma ticket system used for the metro. A standard BIT ticket currently costs €1.50, is valid for 100 minutes, and can be used on buses, trams, trolleybuses, metro lines, and some urban rail services, although metro access is limited to one entry through the turnstiles.
Where to by tickets
Tickets can be bought through the ATAC Roma app, via Tap & Go with a contactless card or smartphone, from ticket vending machines in metro stations, and from authorised sales points such as newsstands, tobacconists, and affiliated bars.

ZTL / Driving in Rome
Guests arriving by car should be aware that Rome has ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) areas with access restrictions on certain days and times.
Scipioni Relais is located in the Prati area, outside the Historic Centre ZTL, which means the guesthouse itself is not inside the main restricted central zone.
The Historic Centre ZTL is active for non-authorised vehicles Monday to Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and also Friday and Saturday nights from 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM. As access rules and environmental restrictions may change, we strongly recommend checking the official Roma Mobilità pages before arriving by car.
Environmental restrictions
Rome also applies Fascia Verde environmental rules.
According to the current official page, from 1 November 2025 permanent restrictions apply to petrol/GPL/methane Pre-Euro 1, Euro 1 and Euro 2, and to diesel Pre-Euro 1, Euro 1, Euro 2 and Euro 3.
As these rules may be updated, it is best to verify your vehicle category before travelling.
Garage
Several private garages are available near Scipioni Relais, including Garage Scipioni (approx. 12–15 min on foot), Garage Vespasiano (approx. 8–10 min), Parking Risorgimento (approx. 8–10 min), and Parking Prati (approx. 10–12 min). Among the nearby options, Parking Prati currently publishes rates from €4 for the first hour, €3 for each following hour, with a daily maximum of €20. For other garages, we recommend checking availability and current prices directly before arrival, as tariffs may vary (links below).
Public parking
Public parking is available around the guesthouse.
According to ATAC, the ordinary blue-stripe rate is currently €1.00 per hour outside the ZTL and €1.20 per hour inside the ZTL.
Reduced rates currently listed by ATAC include €0.20 for 15 minutes, €4.00 for 8 consecutive hours, and €70.00 for a full calendar month.
Parking can be paid at parking meters, with coins, prepaid vouchers, or through approved parking apps such as easyPark, Telepass, mooneyGo, ParkingMyCar, ParkAppy, DropTicket, and others listed by ATAC.

How it works
In Rome there are two main free-flow car-sharing operators authorised by Roma Capitale: Free2move and Drivalia. “Free-flow” means you book the car in the app, unlock it with your phone, and return it within the operator’s service area rather than to a fixed rental office. Rome also has Car Sharing Roma, which is station-based / one-way and uses dedicated parking areas booked together with the car.
What is most practical for guests
For short city use, Free2move and Drivalia are usually the easiest options for visitors. Free2move says its cars are available 24/7, free-float across a Rome “Home Area,” and can be booked, unlocked, and ended directly in the app.
Free2move also states that you can drive outside the Home Area as long as you bring the car back to end the trip, and that public street parking in the Home Area is free under its parking rules.
Practical setup
With Free2move, the process is: download the app, upload your driving licence, wait for validation, then choose a minute, hourly, or daily rate in the app before starting the trip.
Car Sharing Roma also has its own app and requires a one-off registration fee before use.
Cost overview
Current published entry-level prices are:
- Free2move Rome — from €0.21/minute, €10.99/hour, €44/day for a Peugeot 208; some models start from €0.28/minute, €10.99/hour, €44/day. Free2move also notes that hourly and daily rates do not include mileage, which is charged separately per kilometre
- Drivalia — pay-per-use from €0.39/minute, with a maximum daily charge of €69.99 per rental; Drivalia also advertises wallet packages and one-shot packages in the app.
- Car Sharing Roma — one-off registration from €14.90 for an individual account. Published usage rates for a Fiat Panda Hybrid / Citroën ë-C3 are currently €2.50–€3.00/hour by day, €1.40–€1.68/hour at night / weekends / holidays, plus €0.49–€0.59/km for the first 150 km and €0.33–€0.40/km after 150 km, depending on journey type
Good to know
For most short tourist use, Free2move is the simplest to understand because the app shows nearby cars and lets you choose minute / hour / day pricing.
Car Sharing Roma is useful too, but it is more structured and less spontaneous as it is based on dedicated parking stations and registration.
Since prices, service areas, and app offers may change, it is best to check the operator directly before booking.
Useful links
While we do our best to keep the information on this page up to date, service areas, rates, app features, and external mobility services may be subject to change.
What / When
Traditional car rental can be a practical option for day trips outside Rome, regional travel, or multi-day use, especially if you plan to visit places that are less convenient by train.
Within Rome itself, driving is often less practical because of traffic, parking costs, and ZTL / environmental restrictions, so a rental car is usually most useful when leaving the city.
Nearby rental offices
A convenient nearby option is Europcar Rome Via Cipro (Vatican), at Via Cipro 104, approximately 18–20 minutes on foot from Scipioni Relais.
Another nearby office is SIXT Rome St. Peter’s Square, at Via di Porta Cavalleggeri 133, approximately 20–25 minutes on foot from the guesthouse.
Rates
Rental prices vary significantly depending on the season, vehicle type, rental length, insurance, and pickup / return conditions, so it is best to check the operator’s website directly for current availability and rates.
Requirements
Most car-rental companies require a valid driving licence, an ID or passport, and a credit card in the main driver’s name. Minimum-age requirements vary by company and vehicle category. For example, SIXT in Italy states a minimum age of 18 with a licence held for at least 1 year, while Europcar’s Italy FAQ says the standard age is 25, although some categories may be rented from 18 to 24 with a young-driver surcharge.

What / When
In Rome, shared e-scooters are currently operated by Bird, Dott, and Lime, while Cooltra is the main option for shared e-mopeds / scooters.
These services are app-based: you download the app, register, locate a vehicle nearby, unlock it with your phone, and end the ride in accordance with the operator’s parking rules.
Cooltra states that users must be 18+ and hold a valid driving licence to ride its shared scooters.
Cost overview
Prices vary by operator, location, and time of day.
For shared e-scooters, operators generally use an unlock fee plus a per-minute rate: Lime says pricing is city-based and shown in the app, while Dott says you can always check the price per minute before unlocking.
For Cooltra e-mopeds / scooters, the service is offered by the minute or by the hour, with the exact rate shown in the app before you ride.
Good to know
Shared scooters and mopeds can be practical for short urban trips, but local riding and parking rules should always be respected. The official Turismo Roma mobility pages note that shared-mobility services and operating rules may evolve, so it is best to check the operator’s app directly before renting.
