A very important tip
Take a bus, because Roman traffic is chaotic. However, the roads are not logical and the signs are few. It will take a few weeks to understand where to drive, to get where you want to go. When you drive in Rome you have to remember that Italians drive in a particular way. Taking turns and letting people go in front of you is not usual. You can find some impatience so if the light is green when you go into the street crossing and you are a little slow italians will let you note.
