Throughout the years I either visited or worked in Rome, metro lines A and B were my preferred ways to get around the city. I rode during quieter hours and at times when the trains were so packed that people were squeezed inside like sardines. But these two lines didn’t take me to many places I wanted to visit and often required transfers to buses, trams, or a long walk. That has changed for residents and visitors since the initial groundbreaking for Metro line C in 2014.
Since then, several new stops have been added with the latest opening at the Colosseo in December 2025. When fully complete, Line C will have 31 stations connecting the eastern suburbs to the city center and will serve the historic center and major transport hubs.
