They have a decent selection of restaurants in a good size food hall. The only issue I had was how packed it was! It's extremely busy, so trying to find a table to eat at was a challenge. There is a restroom in the back, but it's for paying customers only. They will check for a receipt, so don't throw it away! The rail system in Rome hits all the major attractions, and goes out to the coast! It's an easy and affordable way to see Rome!

I can honestly say that the best foods that we had while in Rome was at the Food Court at Termini! It is a multi-level food court with plenty of seating, and plenty of options. I mean, the food options are so diverse! Go with a group and share as many items as possible. Just do it!!

The preceding station is Garbatella going toward Laurentina, and the following station is Circo Massimo going towards Jonio or Rebibbia. Ok the station is kinda dirty and unremarkable overall, it's a subway and a train station. Trains from here go to Ostia's beaches, but I went in the other direction to Trastevere quarter (rione) and the city centre. The station has escalators that can be in non-working condition. It seems to be a gathering place for the homeless and drunks as well. Little research shows that metro station was opened on February 10, 1955. The mosaics by Enrico Castellani from Italy and Beverly Pepper from the U.S., located in the atrium, have won the Artemetro Roma award. The Porta San Paolo station for the Ferrovia Roma-Lido line runs alongside the metro station. The Stazione di Roma Ostiense, from where main lines FR1, FR3, and FR5 run, is connected to the metro station through the underpass.

The station is in a convenient location for tourists who are heading to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. There is work to make this an Interchange Station however this is not complete yet and the works are currently expected to take until 2025. Like the Colosseum, a lot of scammers seem to circulate within the station and just outside, and do be aware of pickpockets which seem to target this stop in particular on the Rome Metro, I did find the concourse to be quite busy and I did notice a lack of seats throughout the station for demand. I would also advise purchasing tickets beforehand for the same reason, as the ticket hall can be so crowded with queues for the machines, especially when a ticket machine is out of order. If you do have to use a ticket machine, there is an English language option. The platform area seems really worse for wear as well, and it just felt like a letdown compared to metro systems in other cities in particular such as Lisbon and Stockholm. No escalators - steps only! 3* - The location is great for tourists, but the station its-self requires a lot of work.

It is seriously deceiving just how massive Stazione Termini is until you are actually inside…read morewalking it. It feels less like a standard train station and more like a mega-mall that happens to have tracks attached. The selection of stores, cafes, and markets here is fantastic--you can easily kill an hour shopping or grabbing a great bite to eat while waiting for a departure. Just a heads-up: give yourself plenty of extra time to reach your train. The platforms here are incredibly long, and if your train is assigned to one of the regional tracks or a high-speed engine waiting far down the line, it can be a massive, unexpected walk to get to your carriage. Keep your eyes on the departure boards and don't linger at the shops too long.

It's super busy but conveniently is very close to a lot of stuff in Rome, so for day trips or if you are staying nearby it's very convenient. This is definitely not my favorite train station but it's also a super useful tool for getting around. Just prepare yourself for a bit of a chaotic arrival and you will be totally fine. The uber pickup area is a little hard to find, through a nondescript hallway, but getting an Uber worked pretty easily for us. In the past I've had no issues getting cabs as well - at least not no more issue than anywhere else in Rome.

At least there are good signs pointing to the Laurentina or Rebibbia/Jonio direction. It is an underground station and I only saw stairs. If there is a lift, I didn't spot it. The station opened in 1955 and is one of the original stations of the line. It's in the core of the tourist areas of the city, near the Imperial forums, Trajan's Market and Trajan's Forum. There are automated ticket vending machines and turnstiles in the ticketing lobby. I did not see any workers or ATAC staff. [Review 19172 overall - 327 in Italy - 142 of 2023.]

The Rome Metro, called Metropolitana di Roma in Italian, is the Eternal City's main medium of public transport. It began its operation in 1955, making it the oldest system of its kind in Italy. Seeing as it is quite small, navigating the Rome underground is very straightforward. The main thing to remember is that Roma Termini is the connection point between lines and just about every other transport in the Eternal City. Out of the three lines, only A, which appears red or orange on maps, and B (the blue line) are completed and are the ones that pass through the most landmarks, such as the Vatican Museum, the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, etc. Line C is a new line gradually being opened in stages. My partner, our friends, family member, and I used it for 2 days during our stay. A single ride costs €1.50 and is valid for 100 minutes on a combination of metro, buses, and trams. But we bought a €12.50 ticket valid for unlimited metro, bus, and train travel within Rome for 48 hours from validation. It was generally clean and safe; keep one's belongings close and watch out for pickpockets (as one should in most major cities), and one should be fine.
