Touristic Recommendations (WIP) 

• Rome has two International Airports: Fiumicino (the largest one) and Ciampino. Fiumicino is connected to the center through the “Leonardo Express” Train, that will take You at Termini Station in 20 minutes. Termini Station is the hub for Rome subways: Line A subway will take You to the terminus “Anagnina”, the closest stop to Tor Vergata University. Ciampino is closer to Tor Vergata, You can reach the University through a cab.

• At the end of August the weather is expected to be hot (>30°C), with some possibilities of summer raining.

• In the area of Tor Vergata University, you can find several hotels and B&B (visit booking), but you can also lodge in the very center and reach the University through the A-subway: from Roma Termini, it usually takes 40 minutes to reach Anagnina terminus.
