About this listen

Everything you need to know for traveling to Rome in just over an hour! This is an update to an episode with a similar title we put out almost two years ago. In this episode we talk about whether Rome is safe, how to get there, getting around, three of our favorite markets, music festivals, and how to stay cool in the heat.

Edit: In the episode we mention the app "Waidy Wow", it has a new name "Acquea."

Acquea (formerly Waidy Wow): app for locating drinking fountains in Rome

We have lots of articles on onlyabag.com about Rome and general travel tips, but the essentials we mention in this episode are:

How To Get From Rome’s Fiumicino Airport To Rome

How To Get From Rome’s CIA Airport To Rome

Getting Around In Rome: The ATaC Transportation System

If you're looking for a vacuum sealed water bottle, like we mention in this episode, or any sporting goods you can check out Decathlon. Here is a link to the Decathlon near Eataly which is the closest to the city center.

As mentioned in the episode, the emergency phone numbers are

112 (general line)

113 (police)

115 (fire)

118 (medical/ambulance)
