    On our last trip to Rome we flew into Fiumicino Airport and decided that the easiest way to get into town was by train.

    You can catch the train from the terminal, direct non-stop to Rome Termini Station.

    The train goes every half an hour and takes around 30 mins. It cost us about 8 euros oneway.

    Just remember to validate your ticket in the yellow machine on the platform before boarding your train.

    We found it an easy and stress free way to get into town.

    Airports from/to Rome: Travel and Transport From Rome Ciampino Airport

    Not bad for a small airport. The problem however is still with the public transport links with Rome. I avoided paying the Terravison coach shuttle fare of EURO14 by using the local transport system. If you want to do likewise then here's how to do it, but bear in mind the caveats. As you come out of arrivals turn LEFT, exit the terminal doors and there is a bus stop straight in front of you (with a coach or bus probably waiting). This will either be a COTRAL or SCHIAFFANI bus/coach. The fare is EURO1 and you need to be heading for ANAGNINA METRO Station (which will be on the LED display on the front of the bus). In off-peak hours allow 30 minutes for this bus journey, in peak hours allow 55 minutes. When you get to ANAGNINA station go down the steps into the subway following the red'M' signs, just as you emerge into an open square (there's an old blue tram on display in the middle of it) look to your left and you'll see a tobacconist's booth where you can buy your Bigliette (ticket)..you can either get a single journey ticket for EURO1 or an all-day ticket for EURO4 (which you can use on METRO or COTRAL buses all day but NOT the SCHIAFFINI coach, so save 1 euro for your journey back!). Once you have your ticket turn to the left and follow the red 'M' signs for the metro trains. COMING BACK to Ciampino Airport head back for Anagnina Metro Station. Once out of the metro exit note that the departure platform for the buses back to the airport are over the other side of the metro station to the one you arrived at. So this time walk past the blue antique tram following the signs for COTRAL/SHIAFFINI PARTENEZ (departures) and go up platform 1 on your right. I had to wait 20 minutes, so factor in that sort of wait for the bus. The LED on the front will say CIAMPINO AIRPORT (again it is EURO1) and it will drop you off where you caught it when you arrived. Total Journey time you should allow for to Rome Termini Metro Station (including waiting) should be about 1hr 10 minutes. In peak hours this can go up to 2hrs.

    Airports from/to Rome: from the airport to the city center
  • Tip Rating:

  • There are basically three ways to get to Rome City Center from the FCO Airport. One of the easiest ways to get from the fuimicino airport to the termini station in the center of Rome is to take the express train. Just follow the signs and take the escalator upstairs to the terminal. The train (Leonardo Express) leaves the station at 6 and 36 minutes past the hour so it is easy to catch. Buy your ticket from one of the ticket machines or from a ticket agent. Tickets are cheap and easy to get. The trip into town will cost 11 euros. Make sure to validate your ticket before boarding the train. There is a hefty fine if you don't. The train will drop you off at the end of the termini station. It is a little bit of a walk to get outside the main area where the cabs are, so either pack lightly or make sure the wheels on your suitcase are in good condition. From here you can either walk or take a cab to your hotel.
    Another way to get to the city center is to take a cab directly to your hotel. There is a fixed rate of 40 euros from FCO to any hotel in the city center. Catch a cab at the rank outside the airport. Make sure not to take one from anyone who approaches you. They will charge you double or triple what it should cost. Also, before you get in the cab confirm the 40 euro fare. If there are 3 of you traveling together this is the less expensive way to go.
    The last way to get to your hotel is by hiring a private company to pick you up. There are two companies that get good reviews on this and other forums. romecabs.com and airportconnection.it. They will charge between 45-55 euros but will meet you outside of baggage claim, help you with your luggage and can be arranged in advance. Not having to worry about transportation after a long flight is also a big plus.

    Airports from/to Rome: Airport Train to Central Rome: Leonardo Express

    Take the Leonardo Express for a quick ride into Rome. It stops at Roma Termini, the main train station in Rome and cloest to the historical center.

    A ticket costs 11E, the trains usually leave from Track 2 at the airport., and they usually arrive at Track 24 in Rome, which is a good thing, as 24 is much closer to the exit than the old Track 26. Saves about 10 minutes of walking.

    The train is easy and there's no chance of getting caught in Rome's infamous traffic. Follow signs in the airport to the station (Stazione), find the small vending machines, select the direct train to Roma Termini, insert your credit card, and 5 seconds later, you've bought your 11 euro ticket to Rome. Don't forget to time-stamp your ticket in the yellow machines on the platform.

    The Leonardo Express usually leaves at :05 and :35 after the hour and takes 31 minutes. There's only one stop - Roma Termini. Keep a watch on your luggage and belongings.

    Departure announcements are made in English. If you have time, walk to the last car as it will be the closest to the entrance when you arrive in Rome. There's a "left luggage" service at Termini near Track (Binario) 24.

    If your hotel is too far to walk to, grab a taxi from the official line under the covered sidewalk in front of the main entrance. DO NOT accept a ride from anyone who comes up to you and offers you a taxi.

    RETURN TRAINS: They leave for the airport at :22 and :52 after the hour. For an up-to-date schedule, check out the website below. Enter "Fiumicino Airport" and "Roma Termini." Look for the trains with a "D" for direct.

    If you're looking for the CHEAPEST way to get into town, try the regional train (Ferrovia Metropolitana 1 or FM1) to Tiburtina Station (5.5 E), and from Tiburtina, take the Metro to Termini (1 E). Tiburtina is 5 k's east of the historical center. Other stops fairly near the historical center include Trastevere and Ostiense/Piramide.

    Airports from/to Rome: Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci Airport

  • Allan greeting Jayne at Leonardo Da Vinci Airport - Rome
    Allan greeting Jayne at
    Leonardo Da Vinci Airport
    by deecat
    When we were staying in Gaeta, Italy, for two months, Allan's sister Jayne came to visit us for about ten days, and she flew from Chicago to Rome. We drove from Gaeta to Rome's (Fiumicino) Leonardo Da Vinci Airport. It and Milan's Malpensa are Italy's two most important hubs of transportation for "long haul" flights.

    We had it all planned to meet her at the gate, and I was to take the photo. The airport is about 18 miles from Rome's center, and if you had to take a taxi, it would cost about $35-40 and would take around 40 minutes.

    The big moment came, her plane was announced, and we stood waiting. As she came out, looking around helplessly, Allan ran up and kissed her on the cheek...I snapped the picture and was able to capture all the emotion.

    A note of warning: Don't be alarmed if you see military people armed in the airport. It is part of the security there. The first time that I saw it, I was somewhat frightened.

  • Rome Page by mccalpin
  • Effective October 1, 2006, the City of Rome has set fixed fees for taxis going between inside the Aurelian Walls (i.e., the city center) and the city's two airports: Fiumicino and Ciampino (i.e., in both directions).

    The fixed fee is 40 euro to/from Fiumicino and 30 euro to/from Ciampino. This fee covers up to four passengers and includes the luggage fee.

    If you had previously seen this tip, note that previous URL is no longer valid. The new URL of the press release about these fixed fares is at press release.

    Note that the map of the area within the Aurelian Walls can now be found at Aurelian Walls Boundary.

    If you arrive at Fiumicino Airport (which most international flights do), then you will need to hop on the Fiumicino Express train, unless you want to pay about 60 Euro for a cab. It is a direct train to Roma Termini. It takes about 30 minutes to arrive, and it stops at a few stations along the way.

    It costs 9.50 Euro, one way.

    From Termini to the Airport:

    The “Leonardo Express” leaves every 30 minutes, from 05.52 to 22.52.

    From the Airport to Termini

    The “Leonardo Express” leaves from the Fiumicino Airport every 30 minutes, from 06.37 to 23.37.

  • I've used this company about 8 times and wanted to share them with others. I have used the E-Class Benz car service to and from the airport for 50 Euro. This is for 1 or 2 persons and also used the Van when there were 4 of us.

    Thyy have excellent prices and I like their service too!
