Leonardo Express Rome Airport Train
Leonardo Express Rome Airport Train

There is a choice of two airport trains from Rome Fiumicino Airport into Rome.


The only direct non stop option is a dedicated airport train that runs non-stop between Fiumicino Airport and Termini Station in the centre of Rome. This train is called the Leonardo Express and is relatively expensive.


The alternative is a stopping train that runs more frequently than the Leonardo Express into Fiumicino Airport but doesn't go into the centre of the city.

This train loops around Rome and interchanges with the Rome Metro as well as stations where you can get a local train into Termini Station. This longer option is significantly cheaper, but slower.
