Sustainable Transport: Flights, Transfers & Transit
Rome can be chaotic, but your arrival doesn't have to be. We focus on rail links and electric transfers to bypass the notorious traffic and pollution.
Eco-Routed Flights
Fiumicino (FCO) is a leader in airport sustainability. We recommend direct flights and using the Leonardo Express train to reach Termini Station cleanly.
Electric Private Transfers
Skip the fossil-fuel taxis. Our verified electric transfer partners allow you to enter the ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones) silently and cleanly.
Fossil-Free City Transit
Walk the historic center—it's an open-air museum. For longer distances, the Metro and the expanding electric bus fleet are your best low-carbon options.
Verified Impact Stays
Stay in restored palazzos that use modern energy systems, ensuring your visit helps fund the maintenance of Rome's architectural heritage.
Zero-Kilometer Roman Dining
Authentic Roman food is naturally sustainable. We guide you to 'Trattorias' that source artichokes, cheeses, and wines from the Lazio countryside nearby.
Artisan Leather & Crafts
Support the 'Artigiani' of Monti and Trastevere. Buying handmade leather or mosaics helps preserve centuries-old skills threatened by mass tourism.
Curated Local Experiences
From Appian Way e-bike tours to early morning Vatican walks. Our experiences avoid peak crowds and reduce stress on the city's infrastructure.
