Finding Ottaviano station from the hotel

Rome metro lines and useful connections
ATAC’s network map helps you identify metro lines and interchange stations, while its journey planner provides routes and scheduled timetables.
The network map shows how Line A and Line B connect at Termini, but the route from Ottaviano depends on your destination.
For a journey from Ottaviano, enter your destination in ATAC’s planner rather than assuming a particular line or interchange. ATAC’s maps page is the source for downloadable public-transport maps, which can help you see the wider network before you travel.
For example, the map places Termini between Furio Camillo and Spagna on Line A. Colosseo is on Line B, with Termini shown as the interchange between Lines A and B. These examples illustrate how to read the map, rather than giving directions from Ottaviano.
Tickets, passes and validation
Rome’s public-transport tickets include a timed single-journey option and passes for longer periods, with validation rules that depend on how you travel.
A standard BIT ticket costs €1.50 and is valid for 100 minutes from first validation. On the metro, it covers one journey, including changes between lines. When changing between Lines A, B/B1 and C, do not pass through the turnstiles; passing through is permitted for a Line A–Line C change.
Time-based choices include the ROMA 24H at €8.50, valid for 24 hours from first validation; the ROMA 48H at €15.00, valid for 48 hours; and the ROMA 72H at €22.00, valid for 72 hours. The integrated weekly CIS costs €29.00 and allows unlimited journeys within Rome until midnight on the seventh day, counting the validation day.
ATAC provides BIT purchase options through the ATAC Roma app, Tap & Go contactless payment, the B+ smartphone service, ticket offices, authorized shops and vending machines.
Validate a BIT at the start of your journey and again when switching to a metro line. If you change vehicles within its 100-minute validity, validate it again for the remainder of the journey.
Ticket prices and rules can change, so check the official site before you go: ATAC is the operator to consult.
