But getting to Fiumicino is still flowers: Rome airport is located quite far from the city itself. – the answer is further in the publication.

The distance from Fiumicino airport to is a little over 30 km, and the most elementary way to get to Rome from Fiumicino airport is to use the train. Italians in general love to connect their airports to their cities with rail lines, and Rome, of course, could not be an exception.

How to get to Rome from Fiumicino Airport: Leonardo Express

Finding the station on the territory of the airport terminal is quite easy - many signs show in its direction. Therefore, even if you are at the main airport of Rome for the first time, you will not get lost.

Flights from Fiumicino Airport to Roma Termini operate 7 days a week. Trains run from 6.23 am to 23.23 pm without weekends and holidays. Moreover, this message is active even during the days of mass strikes.

Flights in the opposite direction - from Roma Termini to Fiumicino Airport - depart from platforms 23 and 24 of the main railway station of the "Eternal City" from 5.35 am to 22.35 pm.

Express tickets

Ticket for the Leonardo Express - 14 € per adult per ride (2017). Children under 12 years of age can travel free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult. There are no restrictions on carrying luggage: the main thing is that it does not cause inconvenience to neighbors.

On the territory of Fiumicino, it is possible to purchase tickets for the Leonardo Express at the box office at the airport railway station, at many press outlets and vending machines. The cash desk and most of the machines are located in the main lobby of the airport railway station.

It is also possible to buy tickets through a specialized website. To find flights on the topic: “How to get to Rome from Fiumicino Airport?”, in the field of departure, you should mark “Rome Airport”, and for the end point - “Rome”. If you have no idea which station in the city is better to buy a ticket to, it is better to take it to Roma Termini - the main railway station. This is the main transport hub in the city. By the way, through this site it is easiest to find tickets to all other destinations in Italy, if the plans have an intention not to stop at Rome alone. The most comfortable way from Rome to get to Florence and Naples.

It is worth focusing on the fact that before boarding the train, the ticket must be validated in special machines located in front of the exit to the platform. The ticket is valid for 90 minutes after composting.

Another option for getting to Rome from Fiumicino Airport, which travelers are less aware of, is to use the Regionale commuter train (trains depart from the same airport train station as the Leonardo Express).

Let it be a little less comfortable to travel, however, this is also a more economical option. The special line FM1 is called Sabina-Fiumicino. It starts from the airport and passes through Tiburtina, Tuscolana, Ostiense, Trastevere and several others. At the Tiburtina, Tuscolana and Ostiense stations, it is possible to transfer from the FM1 line to the city metro line A or B and, like this, get to almost all at least slightly important points of the Eternal City.

These trains do not go through the main railway station Roma Termini. If there is a need to get just to it, then you will need to transfer.

In 2017, a ticket for the FM1 train from Fiumicino Airport to Rome cost 8 €. Children under 12 years old can travel free of charge accompanied by an adult who has paid for their ticket (1 child per 1 adult). As with the Leonardo Express, tickets must be stamped before boarding the train. You can buy tickets online on this website.

Trains generally leave the platform every 15 minutes on weekdays and up to half an hour on weekends and public holidays.

How to get to Rome from Fiumicino airport by bus? This could always be done, but for quite a long time this service was served in the Eternal City rather “crookedly”. But quite recently, the situation has changed dramatically.

Now the issue with buses has been worked out in detail, the schedule is tight, and the routes to Rome are clearly presented. The main advantage of buses is prices. If you purchase tickets in advance on the Internet, then it is possible to get to Rome from Fiumicino Airport by bus for only 11 € (as opposed to 14 on the Leonardo Express).

Routes run from 5.35 am to 11 pm, the journey time is approximately 55 minutes. In Rome, buses come to a stop at the Termini railway station on Via Marsala - otherwise, almost to the same point as the Leonardo Express. In the opposite direction - from Termini to the Airport - the route operates from 4.40 to 21:50. However, the stop is located on Via Giolitti (also directly near the Termini station).

It is possible to buy tickets both one way and round trip. Buses run with an average interval of half an hour. If you buy a ticket for a specific time, but do not catch your bus, you can use the same ticket to go on the next flight.

At Fiumicino Airport, the bus stop is located near Terminal 3, platform 7. It is easy to find it by following the signs in the arrivals segment.

The company's website, where it is possible to find out more details about the route, as well as reserve your tickets, is located at this link.

And another way to get to Rome from Fiumicino Airport is by taxi. Even now there are taxi drivers in Rome who will not refuse to exceed the tariff for unsuspecting tourists, there is an absolutely optimal opportunity to bypass them. One of these options is to book a taxi online for your flight even before you arrive at Fiumicino Airport, although it is also possible to catch a car at the exit from the terminal. Another question is that all the risks in this case will have to be taken personally.

By and large, this is a somewhat specific option, which is not very different from a taxi. The only significant difference is that the companies providing the corresponding service are not subject to the uniform tariff that taxi drivers work at. That is, if you choose this option, then you need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to pay exactly for as much as you are going to hit.

You can identify such cars on the territory of the airport by the NCC badge, which in the translation of the abbreviation into Russian means “Rent with a driver”. As a rule, cars with NCC badges are clustered in the same place as official taxis, but can be rented from kiosks located inside the airport building.

Car rental at Rome Fiumicino Airport

Another way to get to Rome from Fiumicino airport is to rent a car. If you go directly to Rome, then renting a car is unlikely to come in handy - it is better to move around the city by public transport or by taxi. However, if Fiumicino is only the starting point for an independent autotrip around the country, this radically changes the situation. In addition, taking into account the fact that the prices here are sky-high (from 15 € / day).

Today we will learn how to get from to Rome by train, Mercedes, bus, taxi and rented car. In any case, sooner or later you will find yourself in Terminal 3, as this is where your luggage is issued. From here we begin our adventure.

• For those who don't like buses. The total travel time to the hotel is 1-2 hours.

And so inside

As you can see, everything is not so scary. Welcome to Italy!

By Mercedes for 50 euros for 1-4 people

• For those who value their comfort, time and nerves. The road to the hotel will take 25-30 minutes.

7 years ago, fate brought me to Sergio, and the transfer problem in Rome was resolved forever. Over the years, Yana and I have used his services about 50 times, and he has never been late, has not failed, has not deceived. Super reliable for an Italian. Therefore, I sincerely recommend it for free to all friends and readers of our site. If all Italians were like Sergio, Italy would be the most prosperous nation. Maybe somewhere in the north of the country there are more such people, but in the south there are only a few like him. And I admire them!

You can book your transfer yourself without intermediaries and commissions on Sergio's Russian website ru.rome4.us. For a fixed amount of 50 euros, you will be met at the airport and taken to the hotel with a breeze. No surcharges and surprises, as with taxi drivers, which you can read about below.

• Advice: If you have a large company, up to 8 people, or a lot of luggage, Sergio will organize a reliable minivan transfer for you for 70 euros. Maximum trunk capacity of Mercedes E-class: 2 large suitcases of 20 kg + 2 small suitcases of 25x40x55 cm. Carriage of suitcases in the cabin is not allowed.

By bus for 6 euros per person

• For those who have a limited budget and a lot of time. The road to the hotel will take 1.5-2 hours.

I confess that I have never traveled by bus from the airport, but from the reviews of my friends I know that it is quite cheap and simple, but not always fast. I myself do not really welcome buses because of my height.

• Terravision official website www.terravision.eu

Tickets I advise you to buy tickets in advance online (it's cheaper). If your flight is delayed, you will be put on the next bus without any problems. Allow about 50-75 minutes for passport control and baggage claim. For example, if you arrive at 12:00, then take a bus ticket at 13:30. All buses stand on the right side of the exit from the arrivals area in Terminal 3.

Live hack: if you buy a round-trip ticket online right away, you can save a lot. The return train from Termini to Fiumicino will cost you only 3.20 euros.

Attention: the last bus leaves from Fiumicino at 23:00. Keep in mind that if your arrival is after 22:00, then the bus option is not suitable for you- you will not have time to get your luggage, buy a ticket, or there will be no more seats on the bus. Plan for other ways.

By taxi for 48-70 euros

• For those who do not worry about anything, they hardly even read these tips.

There are legends about what chaos Roman taxi drivers did a few years ago. Now for any trip from Fiumicino to the territory of Rome inside, by law, you must be asked for a fixed price in 48 euros if you meet several conditions. And now a few chips of taxi drivers:

Do you know where the Aurelian Wall begins and ends? Wikipedia tells us that this is almost the entire city center, but how do you know for sure if it's your first time in Rome. For example, the district and formally outside the walls.

Inside each taxi is available in Italian, English and Spanish, which say that:

• The first suitcase is free of charge, and for the next one larger than 35x25x50 cm, + 1 euro
• The road from Fiumicino to Tiburtina station costs 55 euros, to Ostiense - 45 euros, to the port of Civitavecchia - 120 euros, to Ciampino airport - 50 euros.
• No trip inside Rome by taxi can exceed 70 euros. Remember this!

If you are sure that you are right, then feel free to call the police, even if you are wrong, no one will fine you, and taxi drivers will most likely get scared and will bargain with you.

My experience: Of the 50 or so times I've used a taxi in Rome, about half the time I felt like I was in the wrong. For example, one day I drove home from the same place for 13 euros, and the next day for 21 euros. Once a taxi driver billed us 90 euros instead of the previously agreed 60. As a result, they almost got into a fight and bargained for 70 euros. By the way, we drove there for only 45. This is my personal experience, it may be less negative for you. In any case, now for trips to the airport, I always call Sergio, whom I wrote about above.

Traveling in Italy for those who decide to use air transport, in most cases, starts from one of the largest airports in the world. The air harbor, which bears the name of Leonardo da Vinci, was officially put into operation on January 15, 1961, and today is a huge complex with four terminals, numerous shops, restaurants and even multi-confessional prayer rooms. Arriving here for the first time, you can get a little confused by the abundance of information boards and various signs, so the question of how to get to Rome from Fiumicino Airport in this situation becomes of the most relevant importance.

Of course, a large number of stops makes the trip longer. For example, the travel time to Roma Tiburtina is about 48 minutes. However, this inconvenience is compensated by the lower cost of the ticket - its price is only 8 euros if the trip is carried out within the ring zone of Rome and 12 euros outside it. Trains depart from Fiumicino Airport every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends, from the same terminal station where Leonardo Express departs. In doing so, it must be taken into account that:

• from Fiumicino airport to Roma Tiburtina, the first departure is 5:57 and the last one is 22:42;
• from Roma Tiburtina to Fiumicino airport, the first departure is 5:01 and the last one is 01:22;
• from Ostiense to Fiumicino airport, the first departure is 5:17 and the last one is 22:17.

Knowing how to get to Rome from Fiumicino in this way, you can save not only money, but also time. Some stations on the FL1 line are in close proximity to subway lines, city bus routes, or transfer hubs for other rail lines.

Important information
