= Hotel =
We will have three separate hotels for this meeting. They're all located on the same block. They are The Rome Life, The Rome Times, and The Rome Glam Hotels. http://www.moodhotels.it/eng/life-hotel-roma/index.html http://www.moodhotels.it/ita/rome-glam-hotel/index.html http://www.moodhotels.it/eng/times-hotel-roma/index.html
= Midweek Party =
The midweek evening party will be held on Wednesday 03/14 from 19:00-23:30. The event will be held at Sharivari - Via di Torre Argentina, 78 00186 Rome RM
http://www.sharivari.it/
There will be food, drinks, music, and other fun type things. After 23:30 there is an attached club that is open until 3am. Come celebrate pi day!!
= Airport =
To get to the city from the Fiumicino airport (FCO) you have 4 options:
* Train (recommended option)
From the FCO airport, take the train (Leonardo Express) to Rome Termini. It costs 14 EUR, it's direct, takes 32 minutes and runs fairly regularly. You can buy tickets from the automatic machines (with an annoying voice shouting at you) at the train station in the FCO airport.
The hotel is a 13 minute walk (1.1km) from Rome Termini station.
* Taxi
A taxi ride from the FCO Airport to inside the Aurelian Walls (which is where the hotel is) has a fixed price (tariffafissa) of 48 EUR. Be sure to tell the taxi driver of this option before you get in the taxi. The taxi ride may take 1 hour, but that depends on the traffic.
As you exit the airport, many people will offer you a taxi ride, but they will try to rip you off. Ignore them or kindly decline and go to the taxi stand outside.
While in theory most taxis should accept credit cards, their credit card machines always seem to have some form of malfunction. So be sure to either have enough cash on hand or ask them before starting the ride if they accept credit cards.
* Bus
The bus is cheaper than the train, but takes longer. Here you can find a list of bus companies that offer Fiumicino transfers: http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-bus.
* Uber
The situation with Uber in Italy is a bit complex (tl;dr Uber as you know it does not exist in Italy). If you book an Uber, a fancy car will pick you up and the price will be either equal or greater than a taxi.
= Weather =
Due to the change in seasons, March can be an unpredictable time of the year weather-wise, with both chilly and fairly warm days. To avoid getting caught short by any sudden temperature changes, bring a mix of warm and cool clothing.
It doesn't usually rain much in Rome during March, so you should probably expect to get a lot of sunlight under blue skies.
== Weather Forecast ==
It's going to be a lovely week in Rome. Sunny skies, with temperatures of 16-20 C (60-70 F) during the day, and 10 C (50 F) overnight.
Rain is expected on Saturday, but it will be fine for the rest of the week.
Bring a hat for the days, and a coat for the evenings.

Right before the Tor Meeting, there's the Internet Freedom Festival (IFF) in Valencia, Spain, between 5th-9th March 2018. Learn all about the IFF here: https://internetfreedomfestival.org/
Barcelona cyber-security Meetup 19th March: https://www.meetup.com/Barcelona-Cybersecurity/events/247358676/ [contact Hiro if you'd like to speak this meetup]
= Local Medical Resources =
The hospital emergency number is: 118.
== Pharmacy / Chemist ==
There's a pharmacy (Farmacia Quirinale di Maria Cristina Nisi) on Via Milano 54, which is less than 100m from the hotel. It's open daily from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm, and between8:30amto1pmon Saturdays. It's closed on Sundays.
Every pharmacy has a sign next to their door with a list of all nearby pharmacies and their opening hours for that week. If you are looking for an open pharmacy you can also try searching on the web for "Farmacieaperte".
== Doctor ==
If you have health issues, it's probably best to go to the emergency room (pronto-soccorso) and ask to see a doctor. In Italy you can visit a hospital without insurance, and without having to ask for a mortgage to pay the bill.

= Interesting local stuff =
== Groceries / Supermarket ==
There's a supermarket (Conad City) on Via del Boschetto 54, which is a 2 minute walk (190m) from the hotel. It's open daily between 8am to 9pm, and between 8am to 1pm on Sundays.
Porta Portese is Rome's biggest flea market, selling everything from vegetables, antiques to clothes (https://www.likealocalguide.com/rome/porta-portese). It's only open on Sundays from 6am to 2pm. If you go, prepare to bargain.
== Restaurants ==
"If you don't care about how we cook, stick to your Burgers and Leave our dishes alone." - [https://twitter.com/italiancomments Some Italian mad at food]
In Italy we love food and are very passionate about it. We therefore make some of the best food in the world.
|| Restaurant Name || Address || Type of restaurant || Notes ||
|| Dar Bruttone || Via Taranto 118 (San Giovanni) || Traditional Roman cuisine with a twist || Their "Carbonara Tartufata" is the best pasta in the world! ||
|| Vecchia Roma || Via Ferruccio, 12 (Piazza Vittorio) || Traditional Roman trattoria, with pizza || It's a pretty small place. ||
|| Da Bucatino || Via LucadellaRobbia, 84 || Trattoria || Must get bucatini all'amatriciana! Don't worry, they give you a bib to not get your shirt dirty. ||
|| Dar Poeta || Vicolo del Bologna, 45 || Pizzeria || You will most likely have to wait a bit to get a table and you can't reserve, but it's worth it. ||
|| Emma || Via del Monte della Farina, 28 || Fancy Pizza place || Great pizza & pasta! ||
|| Al Grottino || Via Orvieto 6 || Pizzeria || Amazing pizza! ||
|| Urbana 47 || Via Urbana, 47 || Hipster Italian cuisine || ||
|| La Carbonara || Via Panisperna, 214 || Osteria || 4 minute walk (350m) from the hotel, offers classic Roman dishes. ||
|| Guerra || Via Eleonora d'Arborea, 5 || Trattoria || close to Piazza Bologna, unique plate at lunch, few more at dinner (non si puo smezzare) ||
== Gelato (i.e. ice cream) ==
In Italy we love ice cream, have a history of making it, and have perfected its art!
You will therefore find gelaterias everywhere, and most will probably be great.
Below are some recommendations.
|| Gelateria || Address || Notes ||
|| Giolitti || Via Uffici del Vicario, 40 || Established in 1900 & still a family run business to this day. ||
|| La Romana || Via Venti Settembre, 60 || Established in 1947 as a family run gelateria. ||
|| Gelateria del Teatro || ViadeiCoronari, 65 || Shortwalkfrom Piazza Navona, known for its high-quality ingredients. ||
|| Gelateria Grom || PiazzadeiCinquecento || Close to the hotel & includes ingredients for those with lactose intolerance. ||
|| Venchi || ViadegliOrfani, 87 || Right next to the Pantheon, been around since 1878, still offers amazing gelato!||
|| Fassi || Via Principe Eugenio, 65 || close to Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, best gelato since 1880 ||
== Coffee ==
In Italy we love coffee, and so you will have a hard time finding bad coffee.
If you walk into any bar and ask for a coffee, you will get an espresso coffee (as it should be).
These are the possible variations of an espresso:
* Lungo (long)
* Ristretto (short)
* Alvetro(in a glass cup)
* In tazza grande (in a big cup)
* Americano (with added water)
* Macchiatoacaldo(with a dash of hot milk)
* Macchiatoafreddo(with a dash of cold milk)
* Macchiatoconschiuma(with a dash of milk foam)
* Caffelatte (glass of milk with some coffee - usually used to train kids to drink coffee)
* Cappuccino (don't ask for it after 12.00!)
You can also get a cappuccino in every cafè and it's also very good.
Don't ask for a "Latte", you will get a glass of milk.
While it's true that most bars (even the shady one next to the train station) offer excellent coffee experiences, there are some that do stand out:
* Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè - Piazza di San Eustachio, 82 - They roast their own beans and I would recommend buying some coffee here to bring back home.
