Discovering Rome riding: quite another charm!

For enthusiasts of cycling there are a few tips to get around in the Eternal City on two wheels along the most characteristic streets without worrying about finding parking even in the “Limited Traffic Zone”.

If you don’t have a bike in Rome you can rent one, from about 4 euro per hour, in one of the bike rental (list on www.0606068.it) or subscribe to the service bikesharing, service for citizens, tourists and city users that allows you to use the bicycle at a cost of 0.50 cents every half an hour. You must register, by signing a contract, in one of the ten authorized Atac box office.

If you are tired and the goal to be achieved seems too far away, do not worry on holidays, for the duration of the service, and in the evening after 8.00pm are allowed the access of bicycles on the metro lines A and Band the railway line Rome-Lido. The passenger and bicycle are allowed only on the first carriage in the direction of travel of the train.

For subscribers of Metrebus your bicycle is free of charge, or for each bicycle must be purchased a ticket. The folding bicycles do not have to pay the ticket and are admitted every day and for the duration of the service.

The groups (with more than 5 bicycles) have to report, at the phone numbers listed below, their presence in advance of at least 24 hours in order to receive the necessary assistance:
