Practical tips

Taxis in Rome don't really cruise for street hails the way they do in some cities — the norm is to walk to one of the marked ranks scattered across piazzas like Barberini, Navona, or San Silvestro, call a radio-taxi number, or book through an app like FreeNow, then wait for a car to come to you. Uber exists in Rome, but only through its premium, chauffeur-driven (NCC) service rather than an everyday UberX-style option, so it tends to cost noticeably more than a standard metered taxi rather than being the cheaper alternative it is elsewhere. Both Fiumicino and Ciampino airports have an official flat fare into the historic center that licensed white taxis are required to honor, so it's worth simply stating your destination and confirming the flat rate applies rather than watching a meter. Tipping isn't part of Italian taxi culture — rounding up to the next euro or leaving small change is plenty.
