Travel Planner

Brought together on one page, here's everything you need to plan your trip to Rome.

Check the fixture list and decide when you want to go. Most matches are on Sunday afternoons, but your match may be brought forward to Saturday evening or postponed until Sunday night. If you're planning more that three weeks ahead, this may not yet be decided, so bear it in mind.

Your travel to Rome is the first thing to organise. If you're planning to travel with a budget airline, it pays to monitor their special offers. It's probably best to buy about a month in advance, but shop around. For more details on getting to Rome click here.

Match tickets will go on sale 1-3 weeks before a game, and are almost always available online. If you don't manage to book them in advance, there are a number of ways to get hold of them once in the city. And although it's obviously not to be recommended, touts will offer tickets for sold-out games outside the stadium. Monitor the official club website for availability details. For more details, Lazio fans click here, and Roma fans click here.

You'll need somewhere to stay in Rome, and as the city can get busy it's advisable to book before you arrive. Click here for some hotels bookable online.

It's a good idea to sort out some travel insurance before you go. Many online firms offer fairly good deals (and check whether you have any cover through your credit card policy). Football in Rome has a partnership with Essential Travel for UK residents. They offer a very user-friendly website where you can get a competitive quote quickly and easily: Click here.

And don't forget your E111 form (from the Post Office) just in case you need any medical treatment.

Make sure you're not left stranded on arrival in Rome by investing in a decent guidebook and a phrasebook. For some recommended books click here.

Good luck and enjoy the match!
