The public transport system in Rome is wide-ranging.
The metro of Rome only has three lines and is currently the smallest metro system in Europe. Nevertheless, it reaches the city's most important landmarks (i.e., Colosseo, San Pietro, Musei Vaticani). The metro opens every day at 5:30 am to 11:30 pm. On Friday and Saturday, the metro runs until 1:30 am.
Line B of the metro will close at 9 p.m. every weekend due to some maintenance works.
Tickets of metro, bus and tram can be purchased at the metro stations, at news-stands, tobacconist shops and in most corner shops.
The temperatures during your stay are expected to be between 12° and 22° (or more), with few chances of getting rain.

112 can be dialed free of charge from most mobile telephones and, in some countries, landline telephones in order to reach emergency services (ambulance, fire and rescue, police).
