Rome Metro: Getting Around from the Tiburtina Area

Roma Tiburtina and Quintiliani are the local stations most relevant to the Tiburtina area. From a hotel near Roma Tiburtina station, Roma Tiburtina is about an eight-minute walk; Quintiliani is another station to consider.

Roma Tiburtina is also a major rail station, so you can connect a metro journey with train travel there.

For station orientation and practical details, read how to use Roma Tiburtina station during a Rome stay.

Quintiliani gives you another nearby station to consider. Choose your starting point based on which station best fits the day’s route, then check the network map before setting off.

Travel days that begin at an airport involve a separate connection into the Tiburtina area; learn how to get from Rome’s airports to the Tiburtina area.

A Rome metro map shows the lines as connected routes, so follow the line letters and station sequence rather than judging a trip by the stations’ geographic spacing.

The ATAC map places the Line A stations in this order through the central stretch: Furio Camillo, Ponte Lungo, Re di Roma, San Giovanni, Manzoni, Vittorio Emanuele, Termini, Repubblica, Barberini and Spagna.

Termini is the key interchange for a Line A to Line B journey: the ATAC network map shows the two lines meeting there. For example, a route from Furio Camillo to Colosseo follows Line A to Termini, then changes to Line B.

ATAC’s maps page is the source for downloadable public-transport maps. Keep the map handy when you plan how to get around Rome, especially if your route includes a change of line.

To plan a metro route, identify your starting station and destination on the ATAC map, then check whether they share a line or require a change at Termini. The map shows Furio Camillo and Spagna on Line A with Termini between them, so you can travel between those stations without changing lines.

For Colosseo, take Line A to Termini and change to Line B. Check ATAC’s online journey planner for routes and scheduled timetables before you travel. If you’re building a day around central Rome, a one-day route from Tiburtina to the historic center can help you connect transport planning with the sightseeing sequence.

Choose a ticket by how long you expect to use Rome’s public transport, and validate it correctly at the start of your journey. ATAC lists these options:

• BIT: €1.50, valid for 100 minutes from first validation.
• ROMA 24H: €8.50, valid for 24 hours from first validation.
• ROMA 48H: €15.00, valid for 48 hours from first validation.
• ROMA 72H: €22.00, valid for 72 hours from first validation.
• CIS weekly ticket: €29.00, valid until midnight on the seventh day, including the day of validation, for unlimited journeys within Rome.

You can buy a BIT through the ATAC Roma app, Tap & Go contactless payment, the B+ smartphone service, ATAC ticket offices, authorized shops or ticket vending machines. Ticket prices and rules can change, so check the official site before you go.

Validate a BIT at the start of your journey and again when switching to a Metro line. If you change vehicles within the 100-minute validity period, validate again so the ticket remains usable through the end of the journey.

On the Metro, a BIT covers one journey, including changes between lines. When changing between Lines A, B/B1 and C, stay inside the turnstiles; passing through turnstiles is permitted for a Line A–Line C change.
