impact from Rome Line A metro closure

Posted by (Kirkland) on

I've read that Rome's Metro Line A will completely close this month through early December. Can someone confirm ... does that mean 24 hours/day for the period, or simply a portion of the day?

My dilemma ... my wife and I have an Airbnb apartment booked near Piazza dei Quiriti in Prati this summer. I have booked a tour to Tivoli on a Sunday that begins/ends near the Cavor Metro station. I had planned to take the Metro from the Lepanto Metro station (Line A), transferring at Termini to reach Cavor.

If Line A is completely closed, can someone suggest an alternative bus routing to reach Cavor from near the Piazza? I realize we can always walk or taxi, but I really enjoy using public transportation when possible. Thanks.

This has been covered here on the forum multiple times. The line will be closed at night:

In addition, there will be full station closures:

The Vittorio Emanuele station, serving Piazza Vittorio, will also close from 8 April until 30 June to allow for works to be carried out on the station's four escalator systems.

The central Spagna station at the Spanish Steps will close from 15 July to 3 October while the Ottaviano station, serving the Vatican, is set to close from 22 July to 9 September.

The Lepanto Metro station will remain open.

You can find bus routes by asking for directions from your starting location in Google Maps.

We have stayed in the Prati area and taken the bus to the Monti area. Bus 87 is one option. The Rome transit website will give you routes. There may be a slower Sunday schedule that you will need to check.
