Traffic Information

The A90 or the Great Ringroad is the main highway which runs around the city, with the A24 and A91 taking you more directly into downtown. Drivers should be especially cautious when driving around in Rome. The Italian capital has some of the highest rates for accidents in Europe with frequent speeding and tailgating cited as two of the main sources.

Due to a weak public transportation infrastructure, Rome is notorious for having some of the worst traffic in the world. As such, to cut down on city center congestion the motor traffic limited zone was instated to ban motor traffic during weekday work hours of 6:00 to 18:00. To avoid the hassle of parking and the congestion of the city, head out into the beautiful Lazio countryside for a fresh authentic taste of Italy.

Sightseeing Destinations

Villa d'Este

For a quick weekend spot of green during your visit to the land of winding cobblestones, the Villa d'Este is the perfect place to spend an afternoon in Rome. Most famously known as the Tivoli gardens, the UNESCO world heritage site is a popular spot for visitors hoping to visit the Museum of the Book and admire the many manicured lawns and fountains.

Castle San Angelo

Italian painters are also regarded as some of the most historically important artists in the world. Boticelli, Bernini, and Perugino are all well respected within their communities and you can see examples of their frescoes and sculptures around the many churches of Rome. The most famous work is perhaps is Michelangelo's series of frescoes within the Sistine Chapel at the papal residence of Castle San Angelo in the Vatican City. The chapel serves as both a tourist site as well as the location of the papal conclave where the Collage of Cardinals gather to select a new pope.

Business Travel

Rome's prime location in Europe plays a key role as a financial, cultural, and business center within the EU. Some of the main industries include the technology, research, construction, and commercial sectors. Rome's economy is also heavily influenced by tourism due to its world famous art, fashion, churches, and food. The Cinecitta Studios come second only to Hollywood as one of the biggest and most influential film production companies, making Rome a rich and dynamic cultural city. While there is no separate building designated for the sole purpose of exhibitions and trade shows, the Sheraton Roma Hotel is the best when it comes to conference space in Italy.

What to Do in Rome in Winter 2020

Rome is at a reasonable temperature, averaging in the mid 40s, during its winter months, although cold winds and even snow are a possibility. This can be a great time to explore one of the most breathtaking cities in Europe, as prices will be lower and crowds fewer. So, after eating seasonal roasted chestnuts, enjoy all the best sights like The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Trevi Fountain with fewer people. Museums especially, such as the National Museum of the Middle Ages, are great to explore on colder days. In early February, look out for the Chinese New Year celebrations, and the week-long Carnival festivities before Lent begins. This is generally in mid-to-late February. If you enjoy ice skating there are rinks next to Castel Sant Angelo, as well as at the Parco della Musica. There is traffic year-round, and parking is at a premium, so a compact city car is advised. Also be aware that on one Sunday per month from January through March, there is a driving ban in the city center.
