Hi Martin,
Thanks for your update on buying tickets for the Castel Romano bus. No one else has mentioned it to me so far.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that they’ve changed the system and not put up a sign to advise shoppers. When we first went in search of the bus stop, the sign was about three blocks away at the old stop.

The old ticket system worked very well for shoppers and I wonder why they’ve changed it. I’m also wondering if this ‘shabby booth’ is yet another temporary measure.
By the way, have they changed the bus to black, as I was told by Castel Romano?

Hope you and the gf did find something nice at Castel Romano.
Cheers,
Helen

Hi there, I was there as a tourist from Glasgow on Sun 12 June 2011. Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere else down the thread but you cannot by your ticket on the bus. When I was in the queue actually waiting for the bus the gf and I noticed that the majority of the queue were holding some sort of ticket and figured that it must be a bus ticket. Anyway when the bus pulled up the bus guy got off and said a ticket WAS required and pointed us to a shabby booth about 100 yards away on the other side of the street (still on Maresla). It was not obvious in the slightest. needless to say that when word went through the queue there was a stampede down the street towards the booth by a lot of people without tickets who were in fear of now missing the bus. The guy right enough did say he’d wait. Anyway that was my observation.

If you know any different I would be interested to hear.

regards

[...] If your Rome hotel is in the vicinity of the Vatican, you can now catch the Castel Romano shuttle bus from Piazza Risorgimento to the Castel Romano Designer Outlet. You do not have to make the trip to Termini Station to catch the Castel Romano shuttle that departs from via Marsala. [...]

We travelled to Castel Romano on the 6th of May 2011 with the shuttle bus that leaves from Piazza Risorgimento. This is an alternative to Termini station way to go the the outlet mall. The bus from Piazza Risorgimento to Castel Romano leaves at 09:30, 12:00 and 14:30. Ticket price is 12 Euro round trip. Travelling from Piazza Risorgimento can be more convenient for those who stay close to Vatican. The bus stops where all tourist buses stop, at the beginning of the Vatican museum wall. It comes just couple of minutes before departure so please do not worry too much if you do not find it at its place in advance. I was also looking for a red bus as on the picture on this page, in fact all shuttle buses I saw in Castel Romano are brown.

After your shopping at Castel Romano, the Outlet Information Desk can call a taxi back to Rome for you. I suggest you drop in at the Information Desk when you arrive to confirm with them again that there’s no problem in getting a taxi in the evening. The prices are fixed as follows:

Rome Centre 50€
Airports 50€
Laurentina (Metro Line B) 30€
Pomezia 15€

If you intend shopping till late, you can still use the Shuttle Bus, which is much cheaper at 6 Euros per person. No reservation is required.

DEPARTURE TIMES FROM THE OUTLET

11:15
13:45
17:00
20:00 (In summer, the last service is at 20:30 and in any case the centre closes at 21:00).
