I regularly get questions about traveling by plane and how to get to Bolsena.
Of course you want to go on holiday feeling relaxed. Avoid travel stress by going on holiday to Bolsena in Italy well prepared. Because your holiday starts with the necessary anticipation and the moment you pack your suitcase and close the door behind you.I like to travel and enjoy the atmosphere at the airport, train station and on the bus. All those people, different cultures. Organized chaos. What moves my fellow travelers, what are they going to do, who are they on holiday with and where are they going? I like to chat with my fellow travelers.
I myself regularly go back and forth to Bolsena with my car. Wonderful the feeling of freedom. Stop whereever I want.
Fortunately, I can tell from years of experience that the trip to Bolsena is easy to do and not so bad. Many have already gone before you successfully!Flying to Rome:
The trip by plane to Rome from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other countries is good. I have flown with various airlines myself and my experiences are excellent. Currently I find flying with Vueling .com from Amsterdam to Rome very pleasant.

Board the bus and enjoy your ride of approximately 45 minutes to Rome Termini. On the way you can see in the distance the square Colosseum, il Colosseo Quadrato (now the headquarters of fashion brand Fendi) and the Basilica dei Santi Pietro e Paolo, dedicated to Peter and Paul. This church is at the highest point of the district.You drive along the special suburb of Rome, the Esposizione Universale di Roma in short the EUR.
Construction of the EUR was started in 1935. The district was built, as the name implies, on the spot where the World Fair was to be held in 1942. A complete city district with sleek streets and squares and symmetrical buildings.
The exhibition was supposed to show the triumph of fascist Italy under dictator Benito Mussolini. Mussolini wanted to extend Rome to the sea. He had big plans.
However, the second world war threw a spanner in the works. The world fair was therefore canceled at the time.
Slowly you’ll arrive at Termini station and you got a glimpse of Rome from the bus.
The bus stops near the vending machines or ticket offices where you buy the train ticket to Orvieto.Leonardo Express.
