Rome is a city where history and modern life intertwine — a new story around every corner. Full place-by-place notes are in the Turkish guide.

When to Visit?

Rome works in any season; its climate is close to Istanbul’s. Autumn is especially pleasant. Summer is crowded, expensive, and hot.

How to Get There?

1. By Plane

Flights from Istanbul to Rome Fiumicino run from both airports. Airport transfer options include taxi, shuttle, and the Leonardo Express.

2. By Train

Trains connect Rome with many Italian and European cities.

Currency

Italy uses the euro.

Do You Need a Visa for Italy?

Yes — a Schengen visa is required for Turkish passport holders.

Where to Stay?

Central hotels are expensive; staying a few stops out (toward the Vatican) can be calmer and more practical.

How Many Days for Rome?

Plan at least 4–5 days; a slower pace can stretch to a week.
