Summary
Headed to Rome? This is a city that's best explored on foot. But if you're exhausted after a long day sightseeing or need to get across town quickly, a taxi is generally the fastest mode of transport.
In this episode, we explain the quirks of the Rome taxis, how to recognize the official, licenced taxis, how to call one and whether Uber is available. We share expected fares to and from the airport and compare taxis to buses, the metro and other forms of transport.
