Whenever you are
in Rome, you must visit this part of town. Via Masala is a street that
runs next to the Rome Termini Station or Stazione Termini or Stazione
di Roma Termini. The Termini Station is the end of the line for the
30 minutes express train ride from Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport
or commonly called Fiumicino Airport (after the name of the airport's
location).
Train from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumincino – FCO) airport to Vi
Marsala:
In the terminal, follow the signs for 'ai treni,' or 'Train.' The pathway
from the terminal leads you to the train platform. Buy a ticket for
the non-stop train ride to Termini. Tickets can be purchased from the
ticket counter window, the vending machines, or a tobacco store on the
platform near the tracks. There are no “ticket collector”
or inspector on the trains to inspect your ticket, it is somewhat like
an honest system. After purchasing your ticket, you MUST stamp your
ticket. There are couple of machines on the platform that stamps the
tickets with the time and date stamp. No stamping your ticket gives
the impression that you are trying to reused that ticket again. Having
an unstamped ticket on a ride is similar to having an expired ticket
or no ticket at all. Remember, ignorance of a law is no excuse for violating
a crime. One might asked, what if I don't purchase a ticket and try
to get a free ride. Actually, no one will know and I am tempted to believe
that 80% of the time you might get away with it. However, occasionally,
an inspector will asked to see your ticket and if you don't have a valid
one, they will write you a violation ticket. I am not sure what happens
if you are a non-resident. My guess is you might have to pay the violation
in full at that moment. Don't quote me on this, but I think the fees
for the violation ticket is $100 Euro. To play safe, ALWAYS do the right
thing.
Using the train, in my opinion, is the most economical and fastest was
to get to Via Marsala. The 30 minutes express train ride cost approximately
8 Euros or $12.00. I may be bias, but I believe that Via Marsala is
one of the BEST location for travelers to Rome. During my last 10 trips
to Rome, I have stayed on Via Marsala. Via Masala is the midpoint of
Rome and the central hub of buses, trains, hotels, apartments, restaurants,
cafe etc. Getting a train from Via Marsala to other part of the country
or Europe is just walking distance away.
On Via Marsala, there are plenty of options for restaurants. One can
walk all of their sightseeing spots from this location. It feels very
safe. One can take the bus from the Termini station to the Vatican.
The train platforms are clearly marked similar to any major U.S. Cities.
The stops are announced ahead of time plus the map or the routes are
displayed in the train. I had no problem getting around on my own. I
once walked from the Vatican to my hotel on Via Marsala. A good and
comfortable walking shoes is a must have.
In the immediate
areas of Via Marsala are inexpensive restaurants, bars, shoes and clothing
vendors and other budget hotels as well as banks, ATMs, souvenir shops
and so on.
Do NOT let your
guide down, via Marsala is a very crowded street especially after noon,
local residents, tourists as well as beggars, pickpockets, and folks
just hanging out and milling around the terminal. Be warned about pickpockets
especially on crowded trains and buses. Most of them work in team and
can smell a foreigner like a shark with blood. Ladies, if you don't
have to, leave those large purses at home. Men don't put your wallet
in your back pocket, unless you have a button cover. I never travel
with my wallet. I put my credit or bank card in my front pocket with
whatever cash along with my ID. In general, via Marsala is a busy, bustling
thoroughfare--with narrow street & sidewalk and much traffic and
motorbikes throughout the day and night. 2-3 blocks in any direction
from the terminal is more subdued and quiet. Via Marsala is a convenient
location and is ideal and easily accessible for traveling by public
transportation to any part of Rome.
