I made an earlier post concerning a stop we'll make at Civitavecchia on a cruise; we’ll be in port 08:00 to 20:00 hr. in the earlier post we were seeking help in deciding if to visit on our own or take a private tour. I contacted a couple of private tour providers, but have found (at least the ones I contacted) they seem to have an itinerary that doesn’t match where we want to visit. At this time we’re planning on doing this on our own (we’ve previously been to Rome thus the reason for our “limited” itinerary). We thought we’d purchase a 24 hour “Card” for transportation, take the train from Civitavecchia to Rome. At the Termini, take the Metro to the Colosseo Station to visit the Colosseum. I’ve read one can purchase admission via CoopCulture to “skip the lines” and include the Underground and Third Ring tour. This would be our first stop of the day. We’d then visit Capitol Hill/Forum/Palatine Hill. We’d then take the Metro to Repubblica to visit the Baths of Diocletian.
I need some help at this point as we’d like to then go via the Metro to the Libia Station (Line B) and walk to the Catacombs of Priscilla. I don’t know if we have ample time to do this, and the timing is made a bit more difficult as from what I can tell the walk would be about a mile in length from the Metro Station to the Catacombs; this may be problematic for my wife (and maybe me too). Would a taxi be readily available at the Libia Station?
Finally, if we do include the Catacombs, will we have ample time to get back to the Libia Station, then back to Termini, then the train back to Civitavecchia, and finally maybe a walk (?) back to the Cruise Terminal (as many others may be returning when we do)?
