How to Navigate Rome's Metro for the Perfect Midway Meetup

So you want to meet in the middle in Rome.

Walking is beautiful, but not always practical.

The solution? The Metropolitana di Roma. The Metro. 🚇

It may not be the world's biggest system, but it's a strategic tool for fair meetups. Here's how to master it.

The Lines: A, B, C

It's (mostly) simple.

Line A (Orange): Runs northwest to southeast. Hits major spots like the Vatican (Ottaviano), Spanish Steps (Spagna), and Termini Station.

Line B (Blue): Runs northeast to south. Your go-to for the Colosseum (Colosseo), Circus Maximus (Circo Massimo), and also Termini.

Line C (Green): The newest line. It's great for exploring areas east of the center, like the artsy Pigneto neighborhood.

The Ultimate Midway Station: Termini

Yes, it's big and chaotic. But it's the only place where Lines A and B cross.

This makes it the undeniable champion for midway meetups if one person is on Line A and the other on Line B.

The Pro Move:

Don't meet *inside* the station. It's a maze.

Instead, pick a spot just outside, like the Mercato Centrale for amazing food or a cafe on Piazza dei Cinquecento.

Other Great Midway Metro Meetups

For history lovers: Colosseo (Line B). Can't get more epic than meeting with the Colosseum as your backdrop. The Monti neighborhood is a short walk away.

For shoppers: Spagna (Line A). You pop up right at the Spanish Steps. Perfect for a retail-focused meetup.

For Vatican visitors: Ottaviano (Line A). If you're meeting someone before or after a trip to St. Peter's, this is the spot.

The Metro makes crossing Rome so much faster.
