Ciampino is served by coach in about 40 minutes. Rome has only three metro lines. Buses fill the gaps and walking is often faster in the centre. Public drinking fountains, the nasoni, run cold and safe all over the city. Carry a bottle rather than buying water. Eat in Testaccio or Trastevere's back streets. Anything with a picture menu near a monument is a tourist trap. ## Local knowledge Contributed by guides, operators and creators on the ground. Community advice, kept separate from official sources. Vatican without the crush Book the first entry of the day or a late Friday opening. Walk straight to the Sistine Chapel first, then double back through the galleries. Tour operator Eat where Romans eat Testaccio market at lunch, then dinner in the streets behind Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere. Avoid anything with a menu photo.
