Creator's Key Takeaways

rome italy is called the eternal city and it is called that for a reason it is a glorious magical city it is so beautiful there there is so much history and so much of italian life to embrace to learn about and to enjoy while you're there

the easiest way to get into rome if you just want to head straight into the city to see things really is on the leonardo express which is a train that goes directly from the airport over to termini

i only cruise with princess at this point in my life but i know this is universal for all the cruise lines when they run shuttles from the airport to the cruise part they always pick you up in baggage claim in arrivals down there

Creator's Tips & Advice

Allow 15-20 minutes to buy Leonardo Express train ticket at airport kiosks
Wear a crossbody purse and keep it in front of you to avoid pickpocketing at Termini
Plan 2-3 days for sightseeing in Rome before your cruise
Book cruise line shuttle from airport to port for convenience and reliability
Bring a collapsible bag for shopping and extra carry-on space for fragile items
