You’ll notice when visiting Rome that the city proper is free of the massive cemeteries you see in other major cities such as Paris with its well-known and heavily-visited Père Lachaise, Montmartre, and Montparnasse Cemeteries. By law, Romans did not (and still don’t) bury their dead within the city walls, which means you’ll find attractions such as its famous catacombs located outside the city’s boundaries.
Rome’s Tiburtina station has 20 platforms, with service from both regional and high-speed trains. Many of Trenitalia’s high-speed Alta Velocità (AV) trains and Italo trains pass through Tiburtina, between Rome’s Termini and Napoli Centrale stations. The 2011 renovations were designed in part to deal with increased passenger traffic, which is estimated to have more than 400,000 passengers daily. Trains pass through Roma Tiburtina from other major cities in Italy and towns elsewhere in the Lazio region.
Roma Termini is Rome's biggest train station, and one of Europe’s largest as well. There are 29 platforms and daily service to cities all over Italy as well as elsewhere in Europe. The name “Termini” comes from the station's location in Rome. In the ancient city, the Baths of Diocletian (the Latin word for baths is “thermae”) were across the street from where the train station is today.
