HOW TO GET AROUND THE CITY
PRIVACY POLICY
From the holiday home L'Isola di Marzio, it is easy to reach any point in the Piazza Bologna area on foot. This is the part of the Nomentano district that revolves around Piazza Bologna and is also known as Quartiere Italia because most of its streets and squares are named after Italian cities.
In this area, you will find: Tiburtina railway station, Tibus bus terminal (for intercity routes), 3 metro stations, numerous bus stops, 2 taxi stands, a paid underground parking lot (Viale XXI Aprile), 2 post offices, 3 parks with public gardens (including Villa Torlonia with its museums), countless shops and supermarkets, a police station (Via Forlì 26), and Europe’s largest hospital (Policlinico Umberto I).
For good walkers, many of the main tourist and cultural attractions of the city are reachable on foot, starting with Castro Pretorio (home of the National Central Library), Galleria Borghese, Termini Station and the National Roman Museum, and so on. However, for more distant destinations, it is advisable to use available transportation services.
At Piazza Bologna, there is a taxi stand at the beginning of Viale delle Province.
To call a taxi from home or anywhere in the city, you can dial several numbers, the main ones being: 060609 (Rome Municipality’s Chiamataxi service) and 063570 (RadioTaxi 3570).
Alternatively, you can use one of the following apps: ChiamaTaxi (Rome Municipality's service), Free-Now (also for scooters, electric bicycles, mopeds and carsharing), itTaxi and Uber.
The taxi service is regulated by Rome Municipality’s official rules (for Google translations, click the top-right corner of the page).
The nearest metro station is Bologna, with entrances all around the square. This station connects lines B and B1, leading toward the city center, intersecting line A at Termini, and continuing to EUR.
Besides the metro, Rome also has other rail-based public transportation: trams, 3 urban railways, and the urban sections of 8 regional railway lines. These services are summarized in the map on the left.
For all routes within Rome’s Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA), the same tickets are valid for the metro and buses.
In front of Viale XXI Aprile 29, there is a bus stop with several lines heading toward the city center. Additional stops with other bus lines can be found near Piazza Bologna.
