Accepted Answer

To enter Italy, you’ll need to ensure you have at least six months validity on your passport. A minimum of one blank page is also required for entry and exit stamps. Italy is a member of the Schengen Agreement, meaning Australian citizens don’t require visas for stays shorter than 90 days. If you would like to stay for longer than 90 days, a visa will be needed. You also need to obtain ETIAS authorisation, which you can apply for online. Most applications are processed in around ten minutes.

Question 7

What can you see and do in Rome?

Accepted Answer

For most people, the main attraction when heading to Italy’s capital city are the ruins of ancient Rome. To embark on your own exploration, you’ll want to head to Via dei Fori Imperiali, which spans from Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum. Just a short walk from Piazza Venezia, you will find the Pantheon, which offers you the ability to step into a building that dates back to 125 AD. If you have a soft spot for art galleries and museums, start at Villa Borghese, which lies just north of Rome’s city centre. Nestled around the lake and the gardens of Villa Borghese, you will find some of Rome’s most beauty-packed art museums, including the National Etruscan Museum, the Borghese Gallery and Museum and the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna. In the latter, you can marvel at works of art from luminaries like Monet, Cézanne, Degas and Van Gogh. If you’re after a sweeping view of Rome, you won’t find any skyscrapers to satisfy your craving, so your best bet is to climb one of the famous seven hills of Rome. The most convenient to the city centre is Palatine Hill, which offers views of the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, the Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Altare della Patria and more.

Question 8

How do you get to the city centre from the Rome Airport?

Accepted Answer

When you arrive in Rome’s Fiumicino Airport, most likely your most cost-effective mode of transport will be a bus. There are a number of bus lines available, such as COTRAL and Terravision bus service. The airport buses all stop just across from the Arrivals Halls, with most located outside Terminals 2 and 3. The train is another cost-effective option, with the Leonardo Express, Frecciargento and Regional trains all offering options for getting into Rome’s city centre. You’ll find the station inside the airport, directly opposite the Terminal 1 Arrivals Hall. Your final option is to take a taxi, the lines for which you can find outside Terminals 1 and 3. Though Uber does exist in Rome, it has been known to cost more than the local taxis, so be sure to check prices before selecting your mode of transport.
