Tourist Information Point
Rome has many Tourist Information points called PIT (Punti Informativi Turistici) in the city center. They look like green kiosks (see the picture below) and they have multilingual personnel, are near the most important sights and squares, as well as at Termini station and Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. They're open during the whole year 9–1 and 3–7:30 and provide information about cultural events, museums, opening hours, city transportation, and so on. You can also pick up free tourist brochures. Maps of Rome cost now €1,5
In any PIT is possible to buy the Roma Pass, the cultural tourist card of the capital offering discounts and services to encourage visits to the city museums (see www.romapass.it).
