CathyCruises Posted June 29, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2010 No, but it is right where the port intersects the main drag, by the fort. Is there something specific you are looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best I could find, it stops right in front of the fort.

Susan-M Posted June 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Here's a link to the google map - the fortress is middle left, and the train station is bottom right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolpopp Posted June 30, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Was wondering how far of a walk it is on a hot summer day? We will be arriving at 7 am and I believe the trains run every half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan-M Posted June 30, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Was wondering how far of a walk it is on a hot summer day? It's the same distance on a hot day as on a cool day.;) But time wise, I would allow 10-15 minutes. Here's the walking directions from google maps.

euro cruiser Posted June 30, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2010 As Susan's map shows you, it is less than half a mile from where the port shuttle bus drops you off to the train station. We walked it on a hot July morning last summer with nine of us, including a ten-year-old and three teenagers, in five minutes. We were pushing to make the early train; ten minutes should be more than enough at a "normal" pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb415 Posted July 4, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Thanks everyone for the information and links to Google Maps. They will be helpful for my Navigator of the Seas sailing next week. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podie Posted July 4, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If we're arriving in a personal car, how close can they get to the ship or do we need to board the shuttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONNAKG Posted July 6, 2010 #12 Share Posted July 6, 2010 hi all -- I have found the info on walking to the train station from the port entrance. It appears also we will need a shuttle from the ship to the port entrance,,, so my question is... the shuttles that do this run ... are they connected with the ship?meaning do you have to have a Royal C transfer?? since we are on our own after we leave the Navigator o Seas on July 25th ?:confused: Also the San Peters train station is about 13 min drive to our hotel the termini station is 10.. we will still need a taxi as the metro is not so close to drag bags, rite??? del Senato plzz advise thanks donnakg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted July 6, 2010 #13 Share Posted July 6, 2010 There are no metro stops in the historical center of Rome, so it's either bus or cab to the hotel and I'd go with a taxi since you'll have luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro cruiser Posted July 6, 2010 #15 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I've seen taxis at Trastevere, Ostiense and Termini every time I've been to them, but not at San Pietro. I personally prefer Trastevere over Termini when possible, but it's probably twice the distance from your hotel that Termini is. I question how different the two are timewise, due to the traffic between Termini and the Pantheon, but as I don't have any facts or experience to rely on I hesitate to recommend one over the other.
