Hop on-Hop off Bus in Rome, commentary in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Japanese

If you're an independent traveler with two days, one day or even only part of a day to see Rome, a great way to get around is the classic red London-style double-decker bus that snakes through the city from the station to the Coliseum, the Forum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's, the Vatican Museums, Jewish Rome, and more. If you purchase your ticket online, you can board the bus at any of the 12 stops spread throughout the city. On board, your hostess will give you disposable earphones for an audio guide in eight languages (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Japanese). The buses follow two routes covering every neighborhood of the historic city; one ticket is valid for two days on both routes, so you can get on and off either bus as much as you want.

All buses are wheelchair accessible.

This service is not available on Christmas day. Tickets become valid when you board the first bus. They cost 18 Euro/adult; 10 Euro/child 5-15 years old; accompanied children 0-4 years old ride free of charge. (please note: when you board the bus the driver will also collect 1 Euro/person from everyone over 11 years of age for the Rome City Tax)
