How to get to Rome

Travel Information
 

By Air

- The Leonardo da Vinci Airport, Fiumicino, is about 36 km from Rome. A train line connects the airport to the air terminal, near the Roma Ostiense train station, every 20 minutes from 5:30 until midnight, costs approx. 12 Euro and takes approximately 30 minutes. The terminal is connected via moving platform to the metro station Pyramid (line B).

- The Ciampino Airport, 16 km southeast of Rome, is the destination for most air charters and for some domestic lines, and is connected to the Termini Station by a local train line and by the extra urban buses.

The other alternative is to travel from each airport to the city by taxi, which is more comfortable but also more expensive. The average fare for a taxi ride from Fiumicino or Ciampino to central Rome is approx. 40 Euro. That is the predetermined night & day taxi fare (for max. 4 persons in the same car), it is generally more convenient to go with a predetermined fare than using a taxi metered cab. You should ask the taxi driver to apply the predetermined fare when you get on board the taxi. When not applicable, e.g. if you are directed to Termini railway station or not in the historical centre, fares become more expensive at night.
 

By Train

The Termini Station is where all international and Italian trains stop. This is located at Piazza del Cinquecento, near the urban center. The National Railroad Office - Ufficio dell'Azienda Autonoma delle Ferrovie di Stato is open from 7:00 to 23:30.
