Car Hire in Rome Colosseo - Mini guide to Rome Colosseo

The Colosseo district is seen by many as the heart of Rome. As home to many of ancient Rome’s most famous sights, the area is rich in culture, heritage and history. The Arch of Constantine, Basilica of San Clemente, Circus Maximus, Colosseum and the Forum are just few of the landmarks popular with first-time visitors to this Italian capital. However, many touring Rome prefer to explore outside of this district to appreciate all that Italy has to offer.

Although Italy’s public transportation system is available, many travellers find it costly, restrictive and time-consuming. Many choose to hire a car for the duration of their stay in Rome as it allows them to visit attractions beyond the city limits with ease and freedom. In the Colosseo district, car hire is available.

Many day trips are available by car from Colosseo. The northern Roman suburb of Cassia can be reached in less than 30 minutes by car. Cassia’s Parco Regionale de Veio provides an escape from the busy streets of Rome and the opportunity to explore. The park is abundant with wildlife and its trails take in a number of important Etruscan excavation sites.

The ancient villas of Tivoli are just 33 kilometres from Colosseo. Villa Adriana, the second century retreat of Emperor Hadrian is a short distance from this friendly town. Tivoli, perched in the Sabine hills, was once the Sabine settlement of Tibur. The town offers spectacular views of the low lying plains surrounding Rome, known as the Roman Campagna.

Visitors wishing to remain closer to Rome will enjoy a visit to Vatican City, home to St. Peter’s Square and St. Peter’s Basilica. It is less than 20 minutes by car from Colosseo.
