Reviews for Backpackers

Patrick
Central location, although close to Roma Termini so not the cleanest corner of the city. The rooms are clean, good service. But some meals at the bar are mediocre and overpriced and services like the padlocks that are sold are overpriced. It appears to have several renovations in progress. Lunches are acceptable.

Welcome to Rome

All roads lead to Rome, don’t they? Well, they do if you’re a backpacker – independent travellers have been beating a path to the former heart of the Roman Empire for centuries. Happily, you don’t have to be on an aristocratic ‘Grand Tour’ to enjoy the city today. Cheap hostels are round every corner, from buzzy downtown hostels to group-friendly hostels in the city centre. From your hostel dorm you’ll be able to discover the historical sites that attract tourists from across the globe, but don’t stop there; Rome is also a modern capital and a centre for culture and the arts. It buzzes with busy cafés, traditional markets, zippy Vespas and a vibrant nightlife. You’ll want to stay forever, and when you’re based at a great-value youth hostel you sorta-kinda can. After all, they do call it the Eternal City…

DIY Church Art Tour

Rome’s churches are all free to visit and bursting with paintings by Italian grand masters. One of the most renowned was Caravaggio and you can see his masterpieces in churches throughout the city.

The Colosseum

It’s easy to imagine 50,000 Ancient Romans gathered for gladiatorial battles in the three tiers of Rome’s great Colosseum. Probably the city’s most recognisable monument and the first that most backpackers want to tick off of their list. The ticket includes admission to the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and Palatine Hill.

Centro Storico

This is the historical and cultural heart of Rome, packed with tourists and backpacker groups. The Centro Storico (Historical Centre) is home to many of the city’s major attractions: Piazza de Spagna, (where the Spanish Steps are located), Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain, and that’s just a small sample.

Good Friday Procession (Easter)

The high point of Rome’s Easter celebrations is the Stations of the Cross procession. It begins at the Colosseum and makes 14 stops to recreate key moments in Christ’s route to the crucifixion.

Rock in Roma

Rome’s biggest rock and pop music festival, held over three days in mid July. Headliners in 2015 included Robbie Williams, Lennie Kravitz, Alt-J and Chemical Brothers. There’s no camping, which means hostels in Rome book up quickly - so get your dorm space early!

Pizzarium

Takeaway pizza-by-the-slice near the Vatican Museum, popular with locals and backpackers alike. Drool over freshly baked pizzas in the window to make your choice. Couple your slice(s) with a craft beer.

The Drunken Ship

A not-so-typically-Italian bar filled with party-loving Romans. Great place to start off the night playing beer pong with locals and the international backpacker crowd.

Testaccio market

Mercato di Testaccio is an open-air market selling food and clothes. If you’re a backpacker looking for a slice of the real Italy, here it is - and just a few streets from the tourist hotspots.

Roma Pass

Rome has so many sights that visiting them all gets pricey. The €30 three-day Roma Pass includes two tickets to major attractions. Use it for the most expensive tickets (Colosseum/Palatine Hill/Roman Forum and the Galleria Borghese). After that you get discounts on tickets for other major sights. The pass also includes metro, bus and tram travel, which would cost you €16.50 on its own.

Airports Rome has two international airports: Fiumicino and Ciampino. They are served by most major international and low cost airlines. The quickest way to reach the city centre hostels from Fiumincino Airport is to take the Leonardo Express Airport Train, a 30 minute journey (€14 one way). A cheaper option is to take the Terravision Airport Bus, which costs just €4 one way and can be booked online at http://www.terravision.eu. From Ciampino Airport, a Terravision bus links the airport to the city centre. As from Fiumincino, it costs €4 one way. Train and bus Rome’s main intermodal station is Termini Station. Buses and trains arrive from and depart to destinations all over Italy and beyond, and there are masses of taxis here too. So whether you arrive by train or bus, you’ll be able to reach your hostel with ease. Getting around The Rome Metro has just two lines (A and B) and serves only a few of the main attractions. Buses venture further into the historical centre of the city, but in some areas walking is the only option. A single ticket for one Metro journey, or for a journey of up to 75 minutes on any bus, costs €1.50. A daily ticket for unlimited metro, bus, tram or train journeys costs €6, with three-day tickets at €16.50 and a weekly ticket at €24. Purchase any of these tickets at vending machines in Metro stations or at newsstands across the city. Taxis Taxis are metered, with a minimum journey charge of €4.25 and additional €1.1 per kilometre. One bag carried free, €1 per bag after that. Pick one up at ranks or flag it down.
