Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Leonardo Express (airport rail)
Estimated costEUR 10-22 airport or regional rail single journey
Best forRome Fiumicino International Airport (FCO) to Lazio
Fastest rail option into the city centre, with departures through the day; buy at the station or online and validate before boarding.
Regional rail (FL1)
Estimated costEUR 10-22 airport or regional rail single journey
Best forFiumicino Airport to Trastevere, Ostiense or Tiburtina
Cheaper than the airport express and useful if your hotel sits south or east of the historic centre; slower and stops more often.
Licensed taxi
Estimated costApprox. EUR 55 fixed fare to the city centre in a licensed white taxi; confirm posted tariff on arrival
Best forFiumicino Airport to central Rome hotels
Use the official taxi rank, not unlicensed drivers in the arrivals hall; the fixed fare applies to defined central zones and excludes surcharges such as extra luggage.
Airport shuttle bus
Estimated costEUR 2-5 single metro journey (contactless)
Best forRome Ciampino Airport (CIA) to Lazio
Applies to delegates flying into Ciampino with low-cost carriers; journey times stretch in morning traffic, so leave a buffer before afternoon sessions.
Metro and city bus (ATAC)
Estimated costEUR 2-5 single metro journey (contactless)
Best forMetro lines A and B plus bus and tram network across Rome
Tickets must be validated on first use; metro A serves the Vatican, Spagna and Termini axis while line B links Termini with the Colosseum and Ostiense.
Multi-day transit pass
Estimated costEUR 35–85 taxi or rideshare to the venue district
Best for72-hour and weekly ATAC passes for congress week
Worth it if you travel between hotel, venue and evening events for three or more days; passes cover metro, buses and trams inside Rome.
Car parking
Estimated costApprox. EUR 20-35 per day in a central garage; confirm rates on arrival
Best forGarage or venue-adjacent parking near the congress district
Historic-centre driving is restricted by limited-traffic zones, so parking is only sensible for delegates arriving by car from outside Rome.
Ride-hailing and taxi within the city
Estimated costApprox. EUR 10-20 for a short central hop; confirm metered fare
Best forHotel to venue and evening return trips
Ride-hailing availability in Rome is thinner than in northern European cities; the official taxi app or a rank is often quicker at congress closing times.
Weather
Early December in Rome is cool and changeable: daytime highs usually sit around 13-14 C, nights drop to roughly 4-6 C, and rain falls on several days of the month. Mornings near the venue can feel damp and windy, so a light waterproof jacket and layers work better than a heavy coat, and indoor session rooms are usually heated. Check a short-range forecast a few days before departure and keep a compact umbrella in your bag for the walk between metro stops and the congress entrance.

Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Congress etiquette
Scientific audiences in Rome mix Italian and English, and sessions are typically run in English. Arrive on time for the first morning session, keep questions short in Q&A, and exchange cards after the talk rather than during it.
Meals and timing
Romans eat lunch late by northern European standards and dinner from about 20:00. Coffee is usually taken standing at the bar, and a seated table service costs more; a cappuccino after a meal is unusual but nobody will object to a delegate ordering one.
Tipping and payments
Service is normally included in restaurant bills, so a small rounding up is enough. Cards are widely accepted, but keep some euro coins for bus tickets, luggage storage and small bar purchases.
Dress and walking
Congress dress is business or smart casual. Rome's centre is cobbled and uneven, so comfortable shoes matter more than formality, and churches and some museums ask visitors to cover shoulders and knees.
Local transport habits
Validate every bus, tram and metro ticket and keep it until you exit, since inspectors fine on-the-spot. Metro line A gets crowded at peak hours, so allow extra time when travelling between hotels and the venue.
December in the city
Early December brings Christmas market stalls and nativity scenes to central piazzas, and some museums close on Mondays or reduce hours around public holidays. Check opening times before planning an evening or weekend visit around the summit.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Sample Google Flights searches for a 3 December 2026 arrival into Rome FCO returned: London LHR direct ITA services around 3h 40m with fares flagged about EUR 72 below the usual level, New York JFK nonstops around 8h 20m, Tokyo NRT one-stops from about 20h 10m, and Sydney SYD one-stops with a Dec 1-6 fare near EUR 867. The fare-calendar hint was that booking roughly 3-6 months ahead is usually cheapest. Confirm schedules and tickets directly with airlines before booking.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Rome; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Lazio: Via Veneto, Rome: Select Via Veneto; Rome: Hotel Golden; Rome: Relais Barberini.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Rome; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Rome's ATAC network combines two metro lines (A and B), trams and an extensive bus system, all covered by the same validated ticket. Buy a single BIT ticket for short hops or a 72-hour or weekly pass if you will move between hotel, venue and evening events for several days. Line A links Termini with Spagna and Ottaviano, while line B runs from Termini toward the Colosseum and Ostiense; buses fill the gaps for districts without a metro stop. Airport rail and shuttle services connect separately at Termini, and licensed taxis are the practical fallback for late finishes.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Lazio; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: December 2026

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- HbA1c
- Glycated haemoglobin, the 2-3 month average glucose marker used for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring; delegates at this summit regularly compare it against newer time-in-range metrics.
- Time in range (TIR)
- The percentage of a day a person's glucose stays within a chosen target band, usually 70-180 mg/dL, derived from continuous glucose monitoring data rather than a single laboratory value.
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
- A sensor-based system that reports interstitial glucose every few minutes; accuracy, calibration and reimbursement of these systems are recurring exhibition and session themes.
- Hybrid closed loop
- An insulin delivery system in which an algorithm adjusts pump basal insulin from CGM readings while the user still counts carbohydrates and gives meal boluses.
- GLP-1 receptor agonist
- An incretin-based therapy that improves glycaemic control and drives weight loss; prescribing sequences and access rules are a central clinical debate in diabetes sessions.
- Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist
- A newer injectable class acting on both incretin receptors, used for type 2 diabetes and obesity; trial data and real-world tolerability are typically presented at endocrine congresses.
- SGLT2 inhibitor
- An oral agent that lowers glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion and carries cardiorenal benefits, so it is discussed across diabetes, cardiology and nephrology sessions.
- Hypoglycaemia awareness
- A patient's ability to notice and act on low blood glucose; impaired awareness is a key selection criterion for CGM funding and for insulin regimen changes.
- Thyroid nodule risk stratification
- The combination of ultrasound features, size criteria and, where indicated, fine-needle aspiration cytology used to decide which nodules need surgery or surveillance.
- Adrenal insufficiency
- Inadequate cortisol production requiring glucocorticoid replacement, with sick-day rules and emergency injection training that endocrine nurses address in practical workshops.
- Diabetes remission
- Sustained normoglycaemia off glucose-lowering drugs, usually after substantial weight loss or metabolic surgery; definition and durability remain contested in the literature.
- CME accreditation
- Continuing medical education credits awarded for attending accredited sessions so physicians can count hours toward national licensing requirements.
