Rome
Fiumicino airport is near the coast, to the west of Rome city centre.
Fiumicino is the major airport serving Rome. The other, Ciampino airport
is mostly low cost budget airlines and charters.
The airport is pretty much a standard international airport with all
the usual facilities like car hire and left luggage. The airport is
particularly proud of its very large shopping area.
Within the airport is a railway station with frequent trains to Rome
city centre (Termini Station). There are also suburban trains that
go around the edge of Rome interconnecting with major train and metro
stations. |

Transfers
To Rome & Beyond
By public transport the most straightforward option is the Leonardo
Express train that runs every 30 minutes.
The Leonardo Express runs non-stop to Termini Station, the main transport
hub in the centre of Rome. Termini
Station Hotels are a very convenient area for accommodation for
independent visitors.
There is also a cheaper local train alternative that connects with
the Rome Metro and other major train stations in the suburbs of Rome.
For inter city trains to the rest of Italy you will need to first
travel into Rome, there are no direct trains.
Currently there is no direct public transport to Rome's other airport
Ciampino. |
Taxi
Services
There is of course a taxi rank outside each terminal at Fiumcino.
The rank cabs are licensed to carry 4 people and have limited luggage
capacity for that many.
Private advance purchase taxi's with larger luggage capacities and
English speaking drivers are also available.
The journey into Rome will depend on traffic conditions but should
take around 40-60 minutes. Supplements might be asked for luggage,
night-time runs and public holidays.
Scheduled
Hotel Shuttle Bus
There is a mini bus service that provides an airport to hotel service
but unlike the taxi's run on a shared basis. The service will go to
nearly all hotels in Central Rome (defined by being inside the railway
line that loops around the city)
The mini buses have 8 seats and run around every 30-40 minutes. Seats
must be prepurchased. |
