St. Pietro Station to Port in Rome

[jmps]

We are staying near the St. Pietro station in Rome. We would like to catch the train from there instead of Termini to the port. Are we going to have an issue with getting a seat on the Regional trains from there? We we would like to catch a train around 11:30 or so. Thanks for any info.

Hi Jmps:

 

I think that the regional trains can't actually sell out, because there are no assigned seats... they can get very crowded thought, depending on day & time, you may end up standing most of the way with your luggage next to you.

In the middle of the day it is highly unlikely that you will find a crowded train.

Going at 11:30 should help a lot. When we returned to the port via the train from St Pietro, the train was very crowded and we had to stand about 1/3 of the way back until some of the local workers arrived at their stops...but that was 4:00.

Thanks everyone. I guess no reall worries. Since it is only 45 minutes or so from St. Pietro even standing wouldn't be that bad. I expect most passengers will be cruisers. CruiseKitty, perhaps we will be on the same train!

We caught a train from St Pietro station to the cruise port in 2003. The hardest part by far was hauling three pieces of luggage and two small backpacks to the station. The walk was up and down hills on cobble stones, although it was only about 1/3 mile. We spent 5 days in Rome and did a trial walk the day before. Back then it was only 6 euro to Civitivecchia on the regional train. It was a very enjoyable ride. We had no problem getting seats.
