Travelers to the Eternal City have reason to celebrate as ATAC Rome extends the operating hours of Metro Line B for the summer. This move is set to accommodate the throngs of tourists eager to explore Rome's iconic sites well into the evening.
What This Means for Visitors
For visitors, this means more flexibility and convenience when planning late-night adventures around Rome. Whether you're planning a leisurely dinner near the Colosseum or catching a late show in the EUR district, the extended hours ensure you can rely on public transport to get back to your accommodation without hassle.
Key Details
The extended service hours will be in effect from June through September 2025, with Metro Line B trains now running until 1:30 AM. This change applies to key stations such as Termini, Colosseum, and EUR, providing easy access to some of Rome's most sought-after destinations. There are no additional costs for this service extension, as standard metro pricing applies.
How to Experience It
To make the most of the extended hours, plan your evening itinerary to include stops along Metro Line B. Start your journey at Termini, Rome's central hub, and head towards the Colosseum for a stunning night view of the ancient amphitheater. From there, continue to the EUR district for a taste of Rome's modern architecture. Ensure you have a valid metro ticket or a Roma Pass for unlimited rides.
Nearby Highlights
While exploring Metro Line B, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Roman Forum, a stone's throw from the Colosseum, where history comes alive amid ancient ruins. Additionally, the Villa Borghese gardens offer a serene escape and are just a short metro ride away from Termini. For art enthusiasts, the National Museum of 21st Century Arts (MAXXI) in the Flaminio district is accessible via a short transfer from Line B.
