Cobblestones and rugged ground in the Roman Forum won't make for the easiest journey for your feet, but the natural terrain of the Eternal City is certainly less confusing than the train and bus system. Be sure to pack comfortable shoes.
The metro is made up of two lines intersecting at the main Termini station. Bus routes are confusing, yet a great way to see the city. Night buses run all night at 30-minute to one-hour intervals, but are unreliable.
