Tunnel
- "We recently began traveling through the tunnels to avoid the guards, but many of the entrances in the city are broken. By using them, we can get to our destination rapidly, without encountering resistance."
- ―Niccolò Machiavelli about the tunnels.[src]
Tunnels are a means of travel in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and are the equivalent to the Fast Travel Booths from Assassin's Creed II. Ezio is first introduced to the tunnels by Niccolò Machiavelli, wherein he states that the tunnels are used to arrive at destinations rapidly while avoiding guards. There are a total of nineteen tunnel entrances in Rome.
Initially, there is only one available tunnel entrance, leaving the other eighteen to be renovated by architects. The three tunnels that are located outside of the Rosa in Fiore, Barracks, and the La Volpe Addormentata will be automatically renovated once the respective building fronting it is; making them the only ones that are required to be restored.
Each district can be accessed via tunnel with the exception of the Vaticano District. Every standard entrance to the tunnels look alike, and have the letters SPQR engraved over their gates.
