How to get to Rome                                                (Back to Rome main information page)

By plane

Rome main airport are Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) and Ciampino.

Fiumicino is about 36 km from Rome. The Leonardo Express train connect the airport To Rome Stazione Termini (journey of around 30?). A train line connects the airport to the air terminal, near the Roma Ostiense train station. The terminal is connected to the subway station Piramide (line B) with trains leaving every 20 minutes from 5:30 to midnight.

Buses stop just outside the airport going to via Giolitti, alongside the Termini Station.

Ciampino airport,16 km southeast of Rome, is military airport which has been developing its passenger terminal since it began playing host to the budget airline companies.

The airport is connected to the Termini Station by a local train line and buses. The easiest way to get from Ciampino into Rome is by using Terravision's direct coach service.

Alternatively you take a bus near Ciampino station and then a train to Stazione Termini or  a bus near underground (metro) Line A at Anagnina Metro station.   

Of course the airports are both served by taxi services.

 

By Train

Rome is served by international and national trains which stop at the Termini Station in Piazza del Cinquecento, near the urban center. http://trenitalia.it

In the city

The entire transport network of underground, trams, and buses is managed by the ATAC. The underground include two subway lines: line A, crossing the city from the western side (via Tuscolana - via Appia) to the Vatican section, and line B, connecting the eastern zone (Rebibbia) with the EUR (Exposizione Universale di Roma), crossing line A near Termini Station. A new branch of the B line (B1) is under construction, as is a third line, called C. A fourth line, line D, is under development. The frequent archaeological findings delay underground work.

The Rome Metro is part of an extensive transport network made of a tramway network, several suburban and urban lines in and around the city.

The main bus station is in front of Stazione Termini. Daily and night bus are in service.

Romapass is a card that allows three days of travel throughout the entire transport network.
