18 Aug Rome Prices – the Cost of our Two Week Trip to Rome

We took a two week holiday in Rome, Italy. Here’s a breakdown of how much it cost us, from transport to food, accommodation and activities, we hope this will give you an idea of what to expect from Rome prices. You can find out how much we spent travelling in Australia, New Zealand and Asia in our detailed cost posts. So, how expensive is Rome to visit? 

Rome Transport Costs

We looked for cheap flights from London to Rome around seven months before our trip and went with a budget airline. To keep our transport costs down we walked most of the time and used Rome public transport when necessary; the campsite where we stayed ran a cheap daily shuttle service into the centre of Rome which we used a few times.

Rome Accommodation Costs

As in most capital cities, it can be hard to find cheap accommodation in Rome. To save money we stayed in a budget hotel in Rome for only the first and last nights of our trip – Termini Station Rooms. The rest of the time we stayed in a bungalow at I Pini campsite in Fiano Romano, which is around 40 minutes from the centre of Rome.  The Rome prices below include air con in our bungalow and city tax in the hotel, which costs two Euros per person per night.

Prices of Rome Attractions

Wondering how much money to take to Rome? The city is packed with attractions, so budget in a good amount for entry fees and tours. With the exception of our Pompeii trip, we didn’t hire tour guides which kept our costs down. We also enjoyed walking around visiting many of the free attractions in Rome such as the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazzas and the Spanish Steps.

Cost of Food in Rome

We absolutely love Italian food and made sure we ate plenty of our favourite dishes while we were in Rome. The cost of eating out in Rome can really impact on your budget though. We ate in restaurants nine times, got take away pizza twice and bought the rest of our food from the market to reduce our food costs. Prices below include a few beers, soft drinks and coffees – we got free water from the campsite and the many fountains scattered around Rome. To give you a better idea, the cost of food in Rome per day was €32/£25 for two people.
