TOILETS IN ROME
When you are wandering around the city, and are caught short, where do you go? Rome is not blessed with public toilets, although all archeological sites and museums have facilities.
The major train stations in the city have services which cost €1, but if you are stuck in the street the nearest bar is your best bet. Although legally bars and restaurants should allow the public access to the toilet, in a packed tourist city it isn't feasible for the establishment. Many have signs that require you to buy something to use the facilities.
Since 2019 the city has opened new service points called P Stops in major piazzas. There are toilet and baby-change facilities for €1 as well as Wi-Fi with free hotspots and a tourist information service. Services are open from 10-4 check https://turismoroma.it/en/page/pstop for locations.
Top tip: Toilet paper is not obligatory in Rome - carry tissues with you.
