How to get to Designer Outlet Castelromano McArthurGlen
Since I went all the way to Italy, I went to the outlet and bought many famous brands at a great price!
I head to the outlet with a rough snort.
Surprisingly, this outlet of Castel Romano is about 30 minutes by car from Rome city, so access is quite good.
There are many ways to get there, but this time we will introduce how to get on a direct bus.
Find the stop for the direct bus at Termini Station
There is a direct bus from Rome’s gateway Termini station, so I think it’s the most convenient to take this.
In terms of location, there is a direct bus from Termini Station on Via Giovanni Giolitti.
The bus stop is No. 48 (I’m not sure if it was written), and the bus to the outlet leaves a little behind the bus stop area where the large bus stops.
There is a hostel called Arthur Hostel nearby, so it will be a landmark when looking for the place.

After the eaves of the bus stop are over, the bus with Outlet will stop near this arrow where you can see the iron bars.
Speaking of the iron lattice wall around the arrow, it is a landmark.

The bus is a black bus like this, and it is easy to understand because the Outlet name and Just 30minutes from the entre of Rome are clearly written on the body.
When I went there, I arrived at Termini Station at around 8:50 and there were many ladies with suitcases lined up around here.
When I asked, “Is it okay to take the bus to the outlets here?”
Since they were carrying suitcases, I thought they were definitely people heading to the airport, but they must be returning home with a lot of items in their suitcases.

What is the direct bus fare? How do I buy a ticket?
The direct bus costs €15 per person, round trip.
The fare is paid directly to the driver when you get on the bus, so it’s a good idea to have cash ready.
However, since the number of seats is limited, we recommend that you line up at the bus stop 20-30 minutes before departure.
I feel like all the auxiliary seats were filled when I got on.
What is the timetable for the direct bus?

VIP tickets are also available
Earlier, I wrote that you should pay the bus ticket directly to the bus conductor, but you can also purchase it online in advance.
And there are actually VIP tickets.
A VIP ticket is a ticket that guarantees you a seat on the bus at the desired time because you can get on the bus on the return trip preferentially.
It’s 35 euros, which is more expensive than the usual 15 euros, but it might be an option for those who want to enjoy shopping until the last minute and go home without waiting in line for the bus when they’re exhausted.
I was stingy and didn’t buy..

How to return from Castel Romano Outlet
On the way back from Castel Romano Outlet, a similar bus will be the return flight from the bus stop where you got off.
Shopping at the outlets can easily take 2-3 hours, so let’s shop while considering the time of the bus on the way home.
I went by bus at 9:30 and returned home by bus at 13:30. If you have an appointment, I recommend lining up as early as possible. It will probably be crowded.
By the way, my loot is Camper sneakers!
The price was so good that I bought several.
Come and have fun!
