- CarmelOIreland139 contributionsGreat place to see the sculptured images of Romans. We visited here after having been to the colosseum / Palatine Hill / Roman Forum so this was a very appropriate follow on from that experience. You could imagine these people attending the games. Give yourself 2 hours for the visit. Lovely cafe / restaurant on site also.Written February 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MikesWorld1111Milan, Italy705 contributionsIt was amazing to see how Michelangelo managed to repurpose the ruins of a decaying Roman bath house into a richly decorated catholic church. It is located near the Termini train station on the Republic' square with the fountain of the Naiads in the middle.Written December 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Helena H10 contributionsPalazzo Barberini Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica displays art from a wide array of famous painters--Caravaggio, Raphael, Reni... Here, you can actually enjoy the art without the crowds. The architecture of the place is breath-taking. Look for the staircase and the ceilings!Written January 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jo T4 contributionsGorgeous church with incredible history! St Helena was a brilliant and courageous visionary! Constantine changed the history of Christianity forever. The relics here are some of the most important to the Christian faith. Beautifully presented for understanding, and great setting for reverent prayer. This visit helped our kids grow closer to their faith. The entire church is worth visiting and enjoying for prayer, rest, reflection and art appreciation. Check out Buoni Amici - an A plus restaurant if you need a place to eat between here and St. John Lateran.Written July 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sashakeenaVancouver, Canada11,513 contributionsThis was the main intersection for traffic in this part of town. It was close to our hotel/ train station & hop on hop-off bus.

- BradJillHong Kong, China159,771 contributionsTermini is a major rail station connecting Rome to other major cities around the country with numerous arrivals and departures providing extensive travel options for those seeking rail travel to/from the city. The station is connected to the city centre by local buses, Metro (A & B Line) and taxis. Or just walk to your hotel if staying in the Termini area. There are cheap bus options to the airport to/from Termini as well.
You can purchase rail tickets online, through mobile app, at self-use ticketing machines or manned ticket counter within the station. Train platforms are located past glassed in barrier. Scan or show tickets and you can enter to await trains directly on respective platforms. You'll find a few cafes, food outlets and retail shops. We waited outbound rail journey recently at the recently opened Eataly upstairs place.Written March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our one drawback is that the directions on how to visit the baths were really poorly marked and not easy to follow, unlike the much-better marked Baths of Caracalla which we visited the day after. For one thing, they don’t make it clear where you are at any given time as you walk around the ruins. You see the pool with a sign saying “Frigidarium” with an arrow, but where? We recognized that Michelangelo was instructed to build a church in the middle of the baths, but what they don’t make clear is that is NOT PART of the ticket. We found out after our visit that you can see the excellent remains of other parts of the baths by visiting (for FREE) the adjoining Basilica of Santa Maris dell Angeli, which is what Michelangelo was responsible for…so we’re going over there tomorrow to see that. You really shouldn’t do one without the otherm, but that doesn’t seem to pop up anywhere.Written February 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jen WFenton, MI173 contributionsVery special visit with my adult children, all retired professional dancers, to see the ballet Don Quixote. We sat on the main floor. The seats were very comfortable, and with surprisingly good views. Thankfully I read other reviews and learned that the box seats have obstructed views. I’m so glad we sat on the main floor, it was worth the cost.Written January 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China159,771 contributionsThis is a direct airport express train between Fiumicino Airport and Termini Station in Rome. Departures start fairly early in the. morning and run until around midnight with service every 15 minutes in both directions. Check website for updated schedule. The ride is 32 minutes, quite a lot of space for luggage onboard and normal seating.
Ride cost is Є14 per person (one-way). It is a bit expensive for the distance so if you have three or more people you can do just as well taking a taxi to the city centre - fixed cost Є50 from Fiumicino. Airport buses are even cheaper but can take quite a bit longer to get into the city.Written March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The fountains were built between 1588 & 1593 and were commissioned by Pope Sixtus V. They are thought to be dedicated to the Rivers Arno & Tiber plus the Goddesses Juno & Diana. They don't seem to get much attention and are pretty filthy but great to see such old sculptures survive a busy intersection with the way the locals drive!Written August 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AK8397Ontario, Canada885 contributionsThis church is not a huge tourist magnet like many of the others in Rome. That being said, it is certainly worth a visit. Check out the beautiful doors and the sculptures in the small area outside. Inside, it is peaceful and lovely. When we arrived, there was a choral concert just finishing. If we had more days in Rome, we would have checked out concerts here, as it is a lovely setting with nice acoustics.Written June 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- The Spanish Steps ApartmentRome, Italy30,410 contributionsColorful, busy, energetic multi-ethnic market with everything from Chinese peppers to Moroccan spices … not to mention lots of fresh produce and fish and meats of all kinds (pig trotters, anyone?) Definitely worth a visit. There is also another building with clothing, Indian saris, bolts of fabric, etc.Written May 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JnVSydneyGreater Sydney, Australia18,466 contributionsEasy to get to as Termini station is part of the area, a very multicultural area, with every variety of restaurant you can think of. It is fun just to walk about the streets taking it all in, visiting the many churches, squares, road side markets and attractions listed on TA.Written January 23, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
