Arrival at Rome Termini Train Station
Taxi to Hotel Best Western President
Rome ATAC Metro (Subway) to BW President
From Roma Termini Central Station take Atac Metro line A in the direction of Anagnina for two stops, getting off at Manzoni. The BEST WESTERN Hotel President is 10 meters from the stop. While less expensive than a taxi, it is less convenient to travel with luggage. Trains and subways are generally safe, but you must be on guard, the pickpockets are professionals.

Preparing to Return – The VAT
Purchases of many articles in European Union countries are subject to a value added tax. In Italy you may see the tax on your receipt as “IVA”.
You may claim a refund of the tax on articles that will be taken home without being used in the E.U. Here is a guide for the process.
Please review this page about claiming a VAT refund at the airport in Naples.
