How can you do justice to a city like Rome in the space of one web page, a city known as the Eternal City, a city with a history going back more than two and a half thousand years and yet one that always manages to combine age-old tradition with modernity? As a rule of thumb, however many days you were planning, add on an extra one or two because there is just so much to see.
Whatever event may have brought you to Rome, you will not want to miss out on the many unforgettable features that this unique city, built on its seven hills, possesses.
Starting with its ancient heritage, no visitor will want to miss the Colosseum 70—80 AD , the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire, and at one time as many as 60, spectators would watch gladiators in combat. And of course you will want to toss a coin in the world famous Travi fountain. Roma and S. Football is a major element in the life of the city and the matches between the two local rivals inevitably bring controversy in their wake.

Tickets for Champions League and Europa League matches are typically more expensive and harder to come by than regular season Serie A tickets. Those who have a fan loyalty card available for purchase from TicketOne get first dibs on tickets for Champions League and Europa League matches. You will also see tickets for these matches available on secondary ticket sites like ViaGoGo and StubHub. Most of the time when people ask me about soccer games in Italy, they are asking me about Serie A games.
But there are other types of matches and other leagues to watch. It has a season that runs about the same length as that of Serie A. The clubs of Lega B compete for a chance to be promoted to Serie A.
The top three teams of Serie B, which are determined through a final playoff round, get promoted each year to Serie A. At the same time, the bottom three Serie A teams get relegated to Serie B. Meanwhile, the bottom three teams of Serie B get sent down to Serie C and so on. If you really like no-flash football, then there are the Serie C and Serie D leagues, which are usually contested by teams in much smaller Italian towns.
Serie D , the Lega Nazionale Dilettanti, fields teams split among nine groups. It is a round-robin, knockout tournament wherein the lowest-ranked teams play in the first phase. The top 8 Serie A squads based on the standings from the previous year only enter the competition starting with the round of 16 in the second phase.
The Coppa Italia begins in mid-August and matches are played throughout the year, usually on weeknights. The Supercoppa Italiana is a single match that pits the Serie A winner and the Coppa Italia champion from the previous season.
The Supercoppa is usually played in winter. In recent years has often been played outside of Italy as a way to market Serie A. So that competition is not really relevant to those of us who want to see an Italian league soccer match in Italy. Finally, there are friendlies — amichevoli in Italian. You can learn more about what friendlies will be played during the year by looking at the website of the Italian team you are interested in seeing. Friendlies are usually played during the break e.
Both matches were festive and, er, friendly, were sparsely attended, and tickets were relatively inexpensive. Wait, did I say finally? Named after the Italian word for spring, the Campionato Primavera is a tournament for the youth squads under of Serie A and some Serie B teams. Most Serie A teams will have information about Primavera squads and matches on their websites.
You may be lucky to visit Italy during a time when the Nazionale is playing, either for a qualifier or tournament match for the World Cup or Euro Cup or as an exhibition or friendly match. You can purchase tickets for Italian National team matches through secondary ticket-selling sites e. Qualifier matches for the World Cup will be played through spring If you want to see a soccer game while you are traveling in Italy, it is best to purchase your tickets online before you go.
Go directly to the website of the team you want to see to view their game schedule or view the complete Serie A schedule and check it against your travel itinerary. Note that the team listed first is the home team. In my experience, it is much easier and often cheaper to purchase tickets directly from the club as they have more control over their tickets.
But not all Serie A teams make their tickets available for purchase on their website. Skip ahead to find the links for purchasing tickets for Serie A. Note that most clubs do not release tickets for purchase until about two weeks prior to each match, which can be pain if you are eager to finalize your itinerary.
The tickets listed for resale on those sites are ones that have been purchased ahead of time by season ticket holders. Of course, if you are a casual fan, you can wait to purchase your tickets in person. Most teams have a store in the city center where you can buy tickets if any are still available. Stadium ticket counters typically open only on match day, about two to three hours before kick-off.
A secondary marketplace for soccer games also exists. I have used ViaGoGo to search for and ultimately purchase tickets for Italian football matches. StubHub also tends to have a large inventory of Serie A tickets for sale. Though I have never used the latter for Serie A tickets, I have used the service to purchase tickets for other events.
