Hun Sern Tan
★★★★★5 months agoThe main train station of Rome which connects people to the rest of Italy. After arriving here from the airport, I was impressed by how modern and central the station was ain the heart of Rome. It was super easy to utilize the metro line to get around Rome as well as the high speed trains to access the rest of Italy. It was cool to be able to explore the various shops while waiting for my high speed train to arrive. Overall, highly recommend to take some time and explore what the station has to offer.

★★★★★a month agoVery clean and well organized. There are many shops and things to do while you wait for your Train. Buying tickets is slightly confusing as there are different carriers. If sou want to go to the airport you can pay by card on the very right of the train-station with tap and go.
