Rome's Ciampino Airport

Logistics of using Ciampino Airport in Rome

Ryanair At Rome Ciampino Airport

Ciampino airport is only 15 km from Rome to the south of the city.


The airport is basically used by low cost budget carriers and charter airlines and is dominated by Ryanair. The major Rome airport is Fiumicino, to the west of Rome.

The passenger terminal, (there is only one) is compact with basic services. There is rarely more than three flights being processed at the same time.


Access to Ciampino Airport is by vehicle. Immediately outside the terminal is a taxi rank and a bus station. There are local buses to neighbouring rail and Metro stations as well as dedicated airport buses to the centre of Rome at Termini Station.

Dedicated Airport Buses Between Ciampino & City of Rome

There are two competing bus services between Ciampino and the centre of Rome, Terravision and SIT.


Both companies offer a near identical service, both terminating in Rome at Termini Station about a 40 minute journey from Ciampino.

Fares are identical so there is little to choose between them.

A local ATRAL bus runs broadly every 40 minutes between the airport and the nearest Rome Metro station. The journey takes around 15 minutes between Anagnina and Ciampino.

Anagnina Metro is the southern terminus on Line A of the Rome Metro. In front of the Metro Station is a very large bus station where the ATRAL bus terminates.
