Roma Termini (in
Italian, Stazione Termini or Stazione
di Roma Termini) is the main
train station of Rome. It is
named after the ancient Baths of
Diocletian (in Latin, thermae), which lie
across the street from the main entrance.
The station has regular train services to
all major Italian cities as well as daily
international services to Paris, Munich,
Genève and Basel. With its 29 platforms
and over 150 million passengers each year,
Roma Termini is one of
the largest train stations in Europe.
Termini is also the main
hub for public transport inside Rome.
Both current Rome Metro lines
(A and B) intersect at Termini,
and a major bus station is located at
Piazza Cinquecento, the square in front of
the station. However, the main tram lines
of the city cross at Porta Maggiore, some
500 metres east of the station.
On 23 December 2006, the station was
dedicated to Pope John Paul II[2], more or
less like Rome's main airport at
Fiumicino is dedicated to
Leonardo da Vinci (taken from Wikipedia)
