Transferência de carro particular de Montepulciano para Rome

Consider making a stop at the medieval hill town of Orvieto, renowned for its stunning cathedral, hilltop fortress, and labyrinthine underground tunnels. Book a guided tour of Orvieto's underground network of tunnels, caves, and wells dating back to Etruscan and medieval times. Learn about the city's fascinating history and ancient inhabitants as you descend into the subterranean world.

Next stop—who would visit a park full of monsters? The Sacro Bosco garden is filled with an array of bizarre and grotesque sculptures depicting mythical creatures, monsters, and deities scattered throughout the park's lush trees and flowers. This 16th-century work was commissioned by an Italian nobleman, Pier Francesco Orsini, to express his grief for his deceased wife. Despite its somewhat macabre atmosphere, Sacro Bosco is a captivating and enchanting place to visit.

Once you’ve seen all the Tuscan countryside has to offer off the beaten path, you'll soon approach Rome—“The Eternal City,” “The Capital of the World”—where the landscape evolves into a bustling urban sprawl dotted with historic landmarks and modern infrastructure. Your car trip from Montepulciano to Rome promises to be the best of both sides of Italy!

Today, nearly 3 million people still call Rome home. Its ancient legacy endures in its plethora of monuments and museums. After your trip from tiny Montepulciano to Rome, you won’t be able to turn a corner without running into a landmark of great significance for the course of European and Mediterranean history.

At the epicenter of the Roman Empire, Rome flourished as the cultural headquarters of the ancient world. Its sheer size is hard to grasp until you see landmarks like the Colosseum and Pantheon. Even two millennia since its inception, the Colosseum remains the largest amphitheater globally.

As the center of the world, Rome was also a hub for Renaissance art and philosophy. The influence of Baroque and Neoclassical styles is on nearly every street. The artistic prowess of Italy’s Michelangelo permeates Rome. You can hardly visit a historical site without running into his work: Saint Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, sculptural masterpieces adorning various churches, and the Piazza del Campidoglio.

Rome’s long history is evident once you see how many museums there are to choose from: the Vatican Museums, Musei Capitolini, Borghese Gallery, and Palazzo Barberini Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica showcase a diverse array of artifacts, sculptures, and paintings by luminaries such as Michelangelo, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, and Caravaggio.

Don’t let Rome fool you—just because it is ancient doesn’t mean it’s rejected modernity. Rome is very much still a living city and is constantly evolving. Visit modern marvels like the Museum of the Arts of the 21st Century (MAXXI) to see Italy's contemporary art. Try to spot the most creative uses of ancient infrastructure mixed with modern upgrades as you walk around the city!

If you are going to Rome, you’d better arrive hungry. A visit to Italy, and especially Rome, is incomplete without indulging in all of its culinary delights. Beyond its artistic and architectural legacy, Rome’s restaurant scene embodies a timeless celebration of generations of Italian cooking. Signature dishes like cacio e pepe and carciofi alla giudea reflect centuries-old culinary traditions. Round out the meal with a glass of wine, and for dessert, try gelato or crostata di visciole!

So what are you waiting for? Put on your good walking shoes (you’re going to need them!) and follow in the footsteps of almost 3,000 years of history, religion, and culture.

Personalize your trip

Traveling isn’t just about the destination. By customizing your trips and interacting with local Italians in between cities, you can see more of the country besides the main highlights. Add stops to your trip and see hidden parts of the world that are often missed by people who take the main roads and only see big cities.

Daytrip’s private drivers are locals, so feel free to ask them their favorite Italian dish (their Nonna makes it the best, don’t you know?) Check out Daytrip’s curated list of stops to add to your trip and turn your already-amazing vacation into a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Time it right!

If you’ve added stops to your trip, check your ticket times for tours to make sure you will make it on time. As much as we try to plan for the future, unexpected surprises tend to pop up, so ensure enough time for not only travel, but for possible road closures or traffic.

Pack essentials within reach

Essentials like water, sunscreen, a hat, and a camera should be readily accessible. Despite traveling by car, the sun's rays can be intense. Don’t be that person who is rummaging through the trunk of the car in the parking lot because you can’t find your camera or hat right before your tour!

From Montepulciano to Rome with private car service

Montepulciano is adored for its small, intimate feel and countryside location; however, this comes at a cost. The transfer options via plane, bus, and train are difficult to manage, especially if you are a visitor on a tight schedule. The closest train stations and airports are not located nearby, so to avoid delays and broken luggage, go for a private driver for this leg of your journey.

With Daytrip, you can get to Rome within just a few hours with door-to-door service. No rental car return hassle, no outdated maps, and no swearing, as you try to parallel park on a hill in a town built when walking was the main transportation! Daytrip drivers are local to the area, so they know how to expertly handle the infamous pinturn curves and narrow passes on Italian roads.

From Montepulciano to Rome by bus

Getting from Montepulciano to Rome by bus will require multiple transfers. Start at the local bus station in Montepulciano to catch a bus bound for Chiusi-chianciano Terme. Upon your arrival at Chiusi-chianciano Terme, transfer to another bus that will take you directly to Rome.

The journey typically takes around 3 hours, although travel times can vary depending on road traffic and if the bus is direct or will make stops in other cities. Tickets for the bus start around $29 (€25).

From Montepulciano to Rome by train

Traveling from Montepulciano to Rome by train involves a multi-step process as well. First, make your way to Montepulciano's train station, located 5 miles (8 km) from the town. The best way would be by taxi, which should take about 15 minutes. From there, catch a regional train to Chiusi-chianciano Terme station. From Chiusi-chianciano Terme, transfer to a direct train service that travels to Rome's primary railway station, Roma Termini.

The journey typically takes between 3 to 4 hours, and you can expect to pay approximately $12 (€11) for the cheapest ticket.

Experience Ancient Rome

The Colosseum stands as Rome’s quintessential symbol, dating back to 80 AD. With a capacity for over 65,000 spectators, it hosted thrilling spectacles featuring gladiators, captives, and animals. Today, it remains the world's largest amphitheater, preserving an awe-inspiring blend of scale and history. Explore its tiers and underground chambers and imagine its glorious past. For a truly unforgettable encounter, opt for the nighttime underground tour, venturing onto the arena floor and into the labyrinthine hypogeum.

Adjacent to the Colosseum, the Foro Romano and Palatino represent Rome's ancient heart. Here lies the city's oldest forum, originally a bustling marketplace. It is surrounded by landmarks like the Regia Royal House and the Vestal Virgins' complex.

Overlooking the Forum, Palatine Hill is steeped in mythology as the legendary site where Romulus and Remus were nurtured by the she-wolf. It housed opulent palaces for Rome's elite ruling class. Book a comprehensive tour encompassing the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill to get the full Ancient Roman experience.

After all that walking through ancient Rome, have lunch and a coffee before taking a short walk from Palatine Hill to the Pantheon. This well-preserved ancient Roman temple is dedicated to all the gods and features a breathtaking, domed roof and stunning interior.

Throw a coin in Rome’s Trevi Fountain

Make a wish and toss a coin into the stunning Trevi Fountain, one of Rome's most famous Baroque landmarks and a symbol of good luck. According to tradition, you should use your right hand and throw it over your left shoulder. About 3,000 EUR worth of coins are thrown into the Trevi Fountain each day, and the city collects them for charity.

Go to another country: Vatican City

Who said you just have to stay in Italy? Vatican City is an independent country completely surrounded by Rome. It is home to the Roman Catholic Church. Although it only covers about 100 acres (40 hectares), it is chock full of holy sites and museums.

Marvel at the artistic and religious treasures of Vatican City. It is home to St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums. See masterpieces by Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci. For some added fun, send a postcard from Vatican City, which has its own postal system! Now that’s a rare stamp!

As with most places in the Mediterranean, the best time to visit Rome is typically during spring (April to June) and fall (September to October). During these seasons, the weather is generally pleasant, with mild temperatures around 72°F (22°C), making it ideal for sightseeing and exploring the city's outdoor attractions. You will also have fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months.

Due to Rome’s eternal popularity though, booking your accommodation and any must-see attractions in advance is highly recommended regardless of the season.
