We can say with confidence that trips to Italy will always be among the most interesting and exciting in demand among tourists. What is the eternally young capital of the Apennines, which has a rich history, is famous for amazing facts and is fraught with a myriad of secrets and grandiose works of art. It is difficult to imagine a place that could compete with Rome. After all, an entire Catholic state is located within the city limits, which lives according to its own personal, unique laws and customs.
Today we will figure out together how to get to Rome, which route will be faster and easier, as well as what types of transport are ready to help in solving the task.
Plane
Following a good tradition, we will begin an overview of routes and ways to get to Rome with an airplane flight. Both domestic airlines and European carriers are ready to offer their services in this direction to Russian tourists. So, the most profitable is the offer from the Emirates company, on the plane of which you can fly to the Italian capital for only 21.5 thousand rubles. The journey will take from 12 to 16 hours, depending on the route, and will definitely include a change in Dubai. Passengers who decided to use the services of the Qatar company will have to spend a little longer in the sky, and they will need to overpay for a ticket by 2-3 thousand rubles.
The fastest will be the flight of the Airarabia company, on which tourists will spend no more than 10.5 hours, and the ticket price will be only 26,174 rubles. You can also look for more profitable transfer routes that run through European countries. For example, you can easily fly through the airport of Berlin or another German city, since there are excellent air links between the countries. Or consider a mixed route, reaching first to Venice, and then to Rome.

Upon arrival at your destination, you can easily purchase a plane ticket to Rome or opt for a land type of travel, which has a number of undeniable advantages.
A train
There is no direct rail link between the Russian capital and Rome. But this does not mean at all that those who like to travel by rail will have to change their principles and look for another option to see the "Eternal City". You can get to the Italian capital with transfers. Optimal in this regard would be the Moscow-Nice express service, which departs from the platform of the Belorussky railway station every day at 10 hours 18 minutes. The route runs through the Italian Verona and Milan, from which it will be quite easy to get to Rome, both with the help of domestic train express trains and by shuttle buses.
The fare to Nice starts at 268 euros and directly depends on the class and type of carriage in which you decide to travel. Travel to Milan or Verona will be cheaper. We advise you to follow the discounts and promotions that Russian Railways introduces annually. On the official website, you can not only book a ticket for the required date, but also familiarize yourself with the principles of tariffing for privileged categories of passengers (pensioners, children, couples, companies of tourists, etc.).
As in the case of air travel, you can easily choose a route with transfers in European cities. The cost of such a trip will be significantly higher, first of all, due to payment for hotel accommodation and meals. But you will get the opportunity to see some European cities with your own eyes.
Bus from Moscow or car
Getting to Rome by bus is quite possible. You can buy a ticket both from the tour operator and on the carrier's website. For example, by bus M-trans you can get to Rome for only 250 euros, and if you buy a ticket in both directions, the journey will cost you only 300 euros! There are discounts for children, youth and pensioners. In particular, for passengers under 12 years old, the ticket will cost only 125 euros one way, and for pensioners and young people under 26 years old, the carrier will require no more than 230 euros.
When traveling by bus, be prepared to go through several customs controls at once. Accordingly, you need to have with you all the documents necessary for the successful completion of the procedure, and for those who travel by car, we advise you to take care of purchasing a European-style driver's license.
If you prefer to use your own car, the first step is to plan the route correctly, calculate the number of stops for the night and for rest.
Now you know how to get to Rome and how profitable it is to travel by one or another type of transport.
