Sightseeing buses in Rome

Lena and I like to use double-decker sightseeing buses using the Hop-on Hop-Off system. They are in almost all major cities. Buses run along one or more ring routes. We will analyze the main ones.

Lena and I like to use double-decker sightseeing buses using the Hop-on Hop-Off system. They are in almost all major cities. The point is this. Buses run along one or more ring routes. You buy a ticket for a day or two. Take a seat at any stop (for this you need to see a map of stops on the Internet in advance). Climb to the second floor. You put on your headphones, choose the Russian language and listen to the audio guide. At this time, the bus takes you with a breeze through Rome.

At any stop you can go out and see the sights. Then again take the next bus. Therefore, you do not need to use public transport. Buses will take you to the main attractions. This especially helps when a walk around the city is only a day or a few hours.

Consider which companies operate in Rome. Buses are usually color coded.

City sightseeing Roma (Red)

Route

City sightseeing is the most famous brand. They are in many cities. There is a Russian language. The route is quite balanced.

Ticket price:

  • 24 hours - € 28
  • 48 hours - € 31
  • 72 hours - € 35

The ticket can be bought directly on the site.

Other sightseeing buses

Next, I will briefly analyze other companies. I believe that they do not stand out, so I don’t see the point in taking them.

Roma open tour (Green)

Route map

24 hours € 22 (romeopentour.com).

Battelli di roma

Bus + Boat. Combined ticket with a water bus for € 25 (battellidiroma.com).

110 open + archeobus

110 open

One of the routes for 24 hours for € 20 (Route map), information here.

110 open + archeobus Hop-on Hop-off - 48 hours € 30 (Route map)

An interesting second option for two routes. Archeobas walks through the excavation of the countryside along the Appian Way. There is a good discount catalog.

How do I save on hotels?

Everything is very simple - look not only at the booking. I prefer the search engine RoomGuru. He is looking for discounts at the same time on Booking and on 70 other booking sites.

The coming to power of Octavian Augustus - 3: the struggle for power and the elimination of rivals

In the second issue, we described how, thanks to the efforts of soldiers, who were tired and bored of peace and material security, we managed to avoid a war between the two triumviers, after which one of them sailed off to Egypt to hang out, and the second remained in Italy to deal with the pirate separatist Pompey. Octavian zealously used the freshly built ships with a new wunderwaffe, invented by his gunsmiths, Pompey snapped back, using much more experience in tactics at sea, but after some time the Roman troops still managed to land on the enemy island (although they hollowed out a lot of ships in the process) .

In the last issue, the legions of the two consuls and the Octavian who joined them went on the warpath against Mark Anthony, who, in turn, besieged one of the conspirators and killers of Caesar - Decimus Brutus, who had consolidated his position in the city of Mutin and looked sadly at what was happening. If the consuls Girtius and Panza thought that citizen Anthony was cool and knew only how to file state budgets and appropriate the treasury, then they were cruelly mistaken.
