"O Roma nobilis, orbis et domina "O noble Rome, you lady of the whole world, |

In this way (approximately) the pilgrims reached the yearned-for final point of their pilgrimage. The copper engraving by Sir Charles L. Eastlake (circa 1830) illustrates this collective euphoria at its best. From the Mons Gaudii , "the mountain of the rejoicing" (today Monte Mario), they saw St. Peter's dome, fell onto their knees and kissed the soil. They were suddenly repaid for their months-long journey and for innumerable dangers they underwent. Today, your travels can run quite more leisurely. You do not need to come on foot any longer, unless you want to tread in the pious pilgrims' footsteps. You can arrive from the north of Rome by auto, train, airplane or coach. although all roads lead to Rome (and back), the danger of disorientation is great. |

At the end of your journey on the motorway, you will meet a confusing number of Rome exits: "Roma Salaria", "Roma Tiburtina" "Roma Tiberina", and many others. These are the names of the old consular routes (see drawing), that lead still into the city today. |
| Now: if you take the wrong exit (and, heavens forbid, in rush hour...), then you will have the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Roman traffic! Each highway exit leads the Grande Raccordo Anulare ("the great enclosure ringmotorway") of Rome across the "Bretelle" (the connecting routes). Here you must pay attention again to get the correct exit to the "Tangenziale", a street leading to the branchings of the single districts. |

If you arrive at the main train station ("Stazione Termini"), you will have a choice of public transport means. Rome has only 2, usually overcrowded, underground lines (A and B). We will recommend the best connections that take you rapidly to your accomodation. We also offer a shuttle-service and transfers from the airport. We plan the journey with you in advance, suggesting to you the best routes to be taken by car or coach, meet you at a certain place outside or within Rome, and lead you to your accommodation by the shortest way. |
| Moreover we arrange bicycle ("the via Appia in Rome: cycle through 2000 years history") and scooter rentals so you can become acquainted with the city (along certain routes) without stress. |
