Rome metro

Only three metro lines because every dig hits ruins; A and B cross at Termini. Handy for the Vatican (Ottaviano), the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum, then walk.

Reading the local time…

Working out tonight's last trains…

Plan for another night

After midnight counts as the night before: Saturday 01:30 is still Friday night's service.

Typical last trains from central stations; the ends of a line stop earlier, and holidays use their own timetable. Check the operator's app on the night.

Lines opening and changing

Line C is being extended through the centre; the Colosseo/Fori Imperiali and Porta Metronia stations are opening in stages (check).
