 Pantheon to Vatican - Taxi? 

Since we will be renting an apartment and won’t have the use of a concierge, I figured I better have the logistics taken care of before we arrive.

We will be staying between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. Given all the other walking we will be doing, I’m thinking a taxi to the Vatican/St. Peters would be best (can always walk back). When taking a taxi (anywhere in the world) there is always a high risk of getting taken for a ride. Does anyone have an idea of the cost from the Pantheon to the Vatican?

I assume this is metered (and not a flat rate like form the airport) and I should just have some idea of the correct direction to make sure we are not accidentally paying for city tour on the way to where we actually want to go.

There has been so much discussion of rip- offs from the airport, and also comments that rides within the city are very reasonable - that I'm confused.

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

You are talking about a ten or fifteen minute walk or a very quick ride so the fare should be under 10 euros. Just ask before you get in how much the fare will be. They should be able to tell you.

Take a bus and forget the taxi.

bus 40 (on Corso Vittorio Emanuele) will take you to by Castel Sant'Angelo and you can walk from there

Bus 62 that you also can catch on Corso Vittorio Emanuele drop you off practically at the bas ofg St Peter's

Take the bus...it is quick and easy. My wife and I took the 40 and 62 several times.

Just be sure to buy the bus tickets (1 Euro each way) beforehand at a Tabacchi shop as the bus does not sell tickets.

As I wrote in other topics, make sure the meter is on, and it starts at 2,80 euros , you won't spend more than 10 euros

A cab ride should be pretty cheap and just make sure they have the meter on. Or if you are really concerned just ask the driver before you get in.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I had totally forgotten about the bus which is another good idea.

Thanks
