Visiting Rome and John Cabot University Attractions within Walking
MEDIA EDUCATION SUMMIT 2016 Visiting Rome and John Cabot University John Cabot University is located just across the Tiber River from Rome’s historic centre in the Trastevere neighbourhood, a vibrant neighbourhood with many historic sites, restaurants, bars and places to stay. The university is accessible by public buses, trams, and regional trains (there are no metro stops near the university). It is within walking distance of major historical monuments and museums. John Cabot University has two campuses. All MES16 activities are being held at the Guarini Campus (Via della Lungara 233). You can find directions and travel information at http://www.johncabot.edu/about_ jcu/information-for-visitors/maps-directions.aspx Information about public transport in Rome can be found at http://www.atac.roma.it/?lingua=ENG and information about taxi services in Rome can be found at http://www.060608.it/en/trasporti/muoversi-incitta/in-taxi/taxi-informazioni-tariffe-numero-unico.html Attractions within Walking Distance of John Cabot University • • • • • • • • • Piazza Navona (15-minute walk) Pantheon (15-minute walk) Campo de’ Fiori (10-minute walk) Villa Farnesina (right next door) Coliseum (25-minute walk) Forum (25-minute walk) Circo Massimo (20-minute walk) Vatican and Museum (25-minute walk) Castel Sant’Angelo (20-minute walk) Where to stay John Cabot University is within Rome’s historical centre and is accessible by foot from several neighbourhoods including Gianicolo, Monteverde, Campo de’ Fiori, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. Generally, accommodation closer to historical sites (Piazza Navona, Pantheon) is more expensive. Lower cost accommodation can be found near Rome’s central train station, Termini, a 20-30 minute bus ride to Trastevere. The Beehive (the-beehive.com) near Termini is offering a 15% discount special for those attending MES (use the discount code “Media Summit”). The owners also run a network of apartments in Rome through their Cross-Pollinate network (cross-pollinate.com); though they cannot offer discount on apartments, they can assist you in finding the best deals near JCU and making savings (contact: info@cross-pollinate. com). Please note that since Pope Francis declared 8 December 2015 – 20 November 2016 to be an Extraordinary Jubilee, there are an unusually high number of visitors in Rome during this period. We highly recommend that you make your reservations as soon as possible.
