From EWR airport to Rome
Reaching Newark Liberty International
NJ Transit AirTrain + Path train from Penn Station: $15.50 total, 35-45 minutes, runs 24/7, most reliable option. Uber/Lyft from Midtown Manhattan: $28-42 (surges hit 7-9am and 4-6pm), 25-40 minutes depending on traffic. Taxi from Penn Station: $15-18 flat rate to Newark, then $15 tack-on for EWR itself (total ~$33-38), but expect 40+ minutes. Rental car pickup: available at all terminals, prices start $35/day for economy.
Getting from FCO into Rome
Leonardo Express train is the cleanest option: runs every 30 minutes from FCO directly to Roma Termini station, takes 32 minutes, costs €14 one-way. Buy tickets from machines at the airport or the Trenitalia app to skip the queue. Alternatively, regional FL1 trains connect FCO to multiple stops in Rome (Trastevere, Ostiense, Tiburtina) for just €8, taking 45-60 minutes — better if you're not staying near Termini. Taxis are fixed-rate at €50 from FCO to anywhere within the Aurelian Walls (central Rome) for up to 4 passengers; insist the driver uses the flat rate before getting in. Avoid unlicensed drivers who approach you in arrivals. Rideshare apps like FREE NOW work but can't pick up from the departures zone — use the designated pickup area.
Planning Newark to Rome
Rome is one of those cities that genuinely lives up to the hype — but only if you approach it right. Most Americans make the mistake of cramming the Colosseum, Vatican, and Trevi Fountain into 48 hours and leaving exhausted. Give it five days minimum and you'll start to understand why people move here. The density of history is absurd: you can stumble into a 2,000-year-old temple while looking for a pharmacy. The food is simultaneously cheap and excellent if you stay out of the tourist traps clustering around major monuments.
Local basics
Best-month weather in Rome
April
48–68°F · 8 rain daysOne of the best months: mild temperatures, flowers blooming, and the city looks gorgeous. Easter week brings massive crowds and higher prices.
May
55–76°F · 6 rain daysWarm, sunny, and arguably Rome's best month. Long days, comfortable evenings, and not yet brutally hot.
The destination guide flags July and August as the least favorable months.
Two areas to consider
Trastevere
mid-rangeRome's most atmospheric neighborhood: cobblestone streets, ivy-covered buildings, and a lively piazza scene at night. Stay here if you want to feel like you're living in the city rather than just visiting. The area gets crowded with tourists on weekends but still has genuinely local bars like Freni e Frizioni for aperitivo.
Monti
mid-rangeThe hippest neighborhood in central Rome, walkable to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Piazza della Madonna dei Monti is the best aperitivo square in the city — locals actually go there. Boutique hotels here run €120-200/night and you get a neighborhood that still feels Roman.
Local planning tip
Book the Borghese Gallery the moment you decide on your travel dates — they limit entry to 360 people per 2-hour slot and sell out weeks in advance, no exceptions. It's arguably the best single museum in Rome (Bernini sculptures that will genuinely stop you cold) and the only major sight you absolutely cannot walk up to. Also: the first Sunday of every month, all state museums — including the Colosseum and Palatine Hill — are free. The lines are longer, but if you pre-book a timed entry slot on the free day (which is possible), you save €18 per person and still skip the line.
Visa and entry notes for US travelers
US passport holders get 90 days visa-free in Italy under the Schengen Agreement, which covers most of the EU. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date. The EU's ETIAS pre-authorization system, long delayed, is now expected to launch in 2025-2026 — it will require a €7 online registration before travel but is not a visa. Check travel.state.gov for the latest status before booking. If you're staying beyond 90 days or planning to work, you need a visa from the Italian consulate in advance.
