City advice
Getting around
Vehicles
Having your own vehicle is best in Rome. There is plenty of free parking almost everywhere you go (exception is near and around Broad Street some is paid). There are cab companies and some ride-sharing, but it’s not as common in Rome as other places.
Getting around
Traffic
Traffic can get bad during typical rush hours in certain areas. The rivers create limited options for getting places. Turner McCall and 2nd Ave in East Rome can get particularly busy.
