Rome’s trams are convenient way to reach most points of the city and they are usually cleaner than the public buses. The tram network has six small lines. You can use this transport for free if you have Roma Pass or, otherwise, buy a ticket, which is interchangeable with the Metro and bus ones.

The tram network in Rome has six lines:

  • Line 2: Piazza Mancini – Piazzale Flaminio.
  • Line 3: Piazza Thorwaldsen – Trastevere.
  • Line 5: Giovanni Amendola – Piazza dei Gerani.
  • Line 8: Torre Argentina – Trastevere.
  • Line 14: Giovanni Amendola – Palmiro Togliatti.
  • Line 19: Piazza Risorgimento – Piazza dei Gerani.

Trams 3 and 8 are the most popular among tourists because they reach many important sites and famous Trastevere area, where you can find plenty of restaurants with local and international cuisine for cheaper prices than in the historical center.

Useful Information

Tickets

Tram tickets are interchangeable with bus and metro tickets. You can purchase one at machines at all metro, bus or train stations. There, you will find self-service machines with different options for tickets: single ride, 24 hour-tickets, 3-day or 7-day passes.

  • A 24 hour ticket is available for 7 euro
  • A 48 hour ticket is available for 12.50 euro
  • A 72 hour ticket is available for 18 euro

Roma Pass holders have unlimited use of the public transport while their pass is valid

Moreover, as with public buses, Rome tram system is frequently not checked and many locals and tourists don’t buy tickets. However, be careful because ATAC worker can catch you and again, you will be fined.

Opening Times

Rome tram system has a fixed schedule from 5.30 am until midnight every day. At night, all trams are replaced with night buses.

Personally, I prefer to use trams. This is truly the most convenient and frequent kind of public transport. Moreover, trams are cleaner and you have a higher chance to get a seat there, rather than in one of the buses that run in the historical center or during the traffic time.
