It’s the station where Mandrake took the train. There are pickpockets, antani, abusive sellers, trains, militaries, tourists, shops, underground, mascetti, mandrake, etc etc.

My first visit to Stazione Termini was back in 1988–91, and it left me with unforgettable memories. The station has always been full of life — busy, a little chaotic, but full of that unmistakable Roman energy. It felt like the true gateway into the city. One of the things I still remember fondly are the pizza spots right next to the station — simple, local, and absolutely delicious. After a long train ride, grabbing a hot slice there was one of the highlights of my trip. Even now, I can almost taste it when I think back. I would love to visit again and see how much has changed. I’ve heard the station has modern shops and services today, but I’m sure the atmosphere — and hopefully those amazing pizza places — still makes it a special part of Rome. For me, Termini isn’t just a train station, it’s a piece of travel nostalgia — a mix of movement, food, and memories that I’d be happy to relive.

La Stazione Termini è il principale snodo ferroviario di Roma e uno dei più importanti d'Italia. Situata nel cuore della capitale, è perfettamente collegata con metropolitana (linee A e B), autobus urbani e navette per gli aeroporti di Fiumicino e Ciampino. La posizione centrale è un punto di forza, ideale per chi vuole raggiungere rapidamente i luoghi simbolo della città. La stazione ospita treni ad alta velocità (Frecciarossa, Italo), regionali e intercity, collegando Roma con il resto d’Italia in modo efficiente. Le partenze sono generalmente puntuali, anche se in orari di punta si può verificare un po’ di caos. All’interno si trova il Forum Termini, una galleria commerciale con negozi di abbigliamento, elettronica, librerie e una vasta scelta di punti ristoro, dai fast food ai ristoranti. Perfetto per fare acquisti o mangiare qualcosa in attesa del treno. Uno dei punti critici. Nonostante i continui sforzi, la pulizia dei bagni e delle aree comuni è spesso carente, soprattutto in alcune zone secondarie. L’afflusso elevato di persone (oltre 150 milioni l’anno) complica la gestione dell’igiene. La stazione, soprattutto di sera o nelle ore più tarde, può risultare poco sicura. La presenza di senza tetto, venditori abusivi e borseggiatori è frequente, nonostante la sorveglianza e la presenza della polizia ferroviaria. Si consiglia prudenza, in particolare ai turisti. La stazione è grande e, per chi non la conosce, può risultare dispersiva. La segnaletica è presente, ma a volte non molto chiara. Chi ha poco tempo per una coincidenza potrebbe trovarsi in difficoltà. Posizione centralissima Ampia offerta commerciale e gastronomica Collegamenti ferroviari nazionali e locali eccellenti Stazione Termini è una tappa inevitabile per chi visita Roma, ma come molte grandi stazioni europee, mostra il peso del tempo e dell’intenso traffico quotidiano. È efficiente nei collegamenti, ricca di servizi, ma avrebbe bisogno di una maggiore attenzione a decoro e sicurezza. Adatta per i viaggiatori esperti, da affrontare con attenzione per i turisti meno avvezzi.
