Our man in Rome send us some very useful advice For England fans reaching Rome/   Here are some tips we hope they will prove to be useful.

More photos of Rome via Paulo's Facebook page here 

Getting to the Stadium:

To reach the Olimpico Stadium fans have many different choices. 


The easiest using the public transportation ( slow and crowded usually ) is tram no. 2. It leaves from the PIazzale Flaminio, in the city centre (across the PIazza del Popolo, 5 minutes walking distance from the Spanish Steps to give you an idea) and it takes 10 minutes approx to reach the area near the stadium. From its terminus they simply have to cross the Duca d’Aosta bridge and there they are. 

Another choice it may be bus no. 910 leaving from the Termini railway station. It takes more or less 30/40 minutes from there and if the opt for this solution the terminus is right on the other bank of the river from the stadium. 

Kilmoon Pub

Refreshments:

As for the pub best solution should be (Irish Pub)  The Kilmoon at the address 2, Via Tiepolo ( along the line of both the bus and the tram, 15 minutes walking from the stadium... 

right outside the venue there should be ( but I could still not find any news about it) a “village” for supporters where to stop and have a drink before and after the match. 

Museums:

Here listed are 40 museums that can be visited for free in Rome with a ticket for the match on Feb 4...
