Once you have decided where to stay you need to find out how to get there.

A taxi ride can be quite expensive in Italy, so you might want to get an idea of the price before you jump in.

Public transport is usually punctual and reasonably fast, as most big cities have bus lanes.

Here are some important words and phrases for you to remember.

I would like to go to the Millennium hotel, please.

How much does it cost to the Millennium hotel?
