First of all we would like
to inform you that there are certain risks in going to Rome by car.
As Rome is a big city,
naturally the are the disadvantages of a big city, like trouble
finding a
parkingplace
(also because a great part of Rome is reserved just for residents),
have
enough
coins for the payment, finding back your car without damage when you
parked outside,
etc.,
etc.
And
finally, if you are not used driving in a big city, don't.
However, if you want to go
by car, there are two easy ways to get to Rome. The first will
take you very near the
old centre and the second near to the Vatican city.
PAID
UNDERGROUND PARKING AT THE VILLA BORGHESE:
From the campsite you
turn to the left and drive until you'll end up at a curve in the
road.
There
you turn right <Roma>. Just across the railway you turn left
<Roma>.
Now
you'll drive through the towns of Osteria Nuova and La Storta.
Thereafter you'll end up
at
a junction where you turn right <Roma>.
Now
you will go through the suburbs of Rome until you see the big white
marble bridge
called
"Ponte Flaminio". This very old bridge can be recognised
easily by it's statues on both
sides
of the bridge. Cross the bridge and you are on the "Corso di
Francia". At the end turn right on to the "Viale
Maresciallo". On the square "P. le Ankara" you turn
left on to the "Viale Tiziano". At the end of this road you
turn right and left again. You are now on the "Via Flaminia".
At the end of this road
you will end up on the "Piazzale Flaminio". Here you turn
left on to the "Viale del Muro Torto". The entrance of the
underground parking is in this street and is called "Parcheggio
Villa Borghese".
Just
across the entrance of the underground parking there is a
metrostation.
FREE/PAID
UNPROTECTED PARKING AT THE VATICAN CITY:
From the campsite you
turn to the left and take the first big road to your right
<Bracciano>.
Follow
this road (also the strong curve). At the end turn left <Roma>.
Now you'll end up at the
trafficlights.
Here you go straight ahead <Cerveteri>.
After
about 10 km. you turn left to "Ceri". Now you follow the
signs "SS1 AURELIA". At the
end
of the road you turn left <Roma> and now you're on the "Via
Aurelia".
Follow
this road until you see the signs "Città del Vaticano".
If you keep following the
signs, at a certain time you will constantly see a big wall at your
right (the wall of the
Vatican city). At certain intervals in the wall there is the
possibility to
park
your car for free, however unprotected.
When
you follow the road to the end you will end up in front of the St.
Pietro.
