Rome is the capital of Italy and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. Nearly three thousand years of history are layered in its streets: ancient ruins next to Renaissance palaces, Baroque fountains in front of busy cafés, and, within the city, the Vatican, the smallest independent state in the world.
Rome is also a city that lives at its own pace: long lunches, evening walks through the squares, and neighbourhoods such as Trastevere and Monti where the old city feels like a village.
For Geneva Transfer Booking, Rome is our longest regular destination, at nearly 900 kilometres. Clients choose it for a direct, door-to-door journey with family or lots of luggage, for a road trip through Italy with stops on the way, or to reach the cruise port of Civitavecchia without changing trains or planes.
According to legend, Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus. It grew from a small settlement on the Palatine Hill into the capital of an empire that stretched from Britain to the Middle East. After the fall of the Western Empire, the city became the centre of the Catholic Church, and the popes commissioned many of the churches, palaces and works of art that visitors admire today, from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling to Bernini's fountains.
Rome became the capital of a united Italy in 1871. Its historic centre has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons, with mild temperatures that are ideal for walking. Summer is very hot, and in August, around the Ferragosto holiday on 15 August, many Romans leave the city and some restaurants close. Easter and major religious celebrations bring large crowds to the Vatican. Winter is mild and quieter, a good time for museums.
The trip covers about 900 kilometres. Google calculates about nine and a half hours of driving without traffic. The usual route crosses the Alps through the Mont Blanc Tunnel or the Great St Bernard Tunnel, descends the Aosta Valley, crosses the Po plain, then follows the Autostrada del Sole through Bologna and Florence, across the Apennines and the hills of Tuscany and Umbria to Rome. A coastal route via Genoa and the Tuscan coast is also possible.
Your chauffeur chooses the route according to traffic, weather and tunnel conditions.
A trip of this length is a full day. We plan it with you when booking:
Tell us your preferred departure time and any stops you would like; we confirm the timing and organisation with you.
Depending on the route, the trip crosses into Italy directly from Switzerland or passes through France first. All these countries are in the Schengen area, but customs and identity checks are possible. Each passenger must carry a valid passport or identity card, and travellers who need a Schengen visa should check that it is valid.
Motorway and tunnel tolls apply on this route. Ask us when booking how they are included in your quote.
Much of Rome's historic centre is a limited traffic zone (ZTL), closed to unauthorised vehicles at certain hours. Depending on the location of your hotel and the time of arrival, your chauffeur drops you at the entrance or at the nearest point allowed. Some hotels can register a vehicle for their guests' arrival. Give us the full address of your hotel when booking, and we will check access.
Civitavecchia, the cruise port of Rome, lies on the coast about an hour and a quarter north-west of the city. Many Mediterranean cruises start or end there. We can drive you directly from Geneva to your ship's terminal; give us the ship's name and boarding time.
We can also drive you to Rome Fiumicino or Ciampino airports, for example to connect with a long-haul flight.
The route passes close to some of Italy's finest cities:
Roman cuisine is simple and generous. Four pasta dishes are the city's classics: carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and gricia. Supplì, fried rice balls with a melting heart, are eaten as a snack; artichokes are prepared Roman-style or Jewish-style in season; and pizza al taglio, sold by weight, is the quick lunch of the Romans. White wines from the Castelli Romani hills, south of the city, accompany a meal on a terrace.
Families. A direct car avoids changes and lets you stop when needed. A V-Class takes six or seven passengers with luggage.
Road trip through Italy. Combine Rome with an overnight stop in Florence or Siena; we plan the two stages with you.
Cruise passengers. Give us the ship and the terminal at Civitavecchia; we plan the departure from Geneva with a generous margin.
Business travellers. A Mercedes S-Class turns the journey into hours of calm work or rest.
A Mercedes E-Class suits one to three passengers with luggage; the S-Class offers the most comfort for a long trip. For families and groups, the V-Class takes up to six or seven passengers with luggage. For larger groups, the Sprinter is available on request. Water is on board, and breaks are planned along the way.
