The
main railway station in Rome is Termini Station, the major transport
interchange for Rome.
As capital of Italy, Rome has direct train services to all the principal
cities of the country and rail passes form a very economic and comfortable
way of seeing Italy.
The rail network around suburban Rome is fairly basic. For most visitors,
local trains will only be used to get to the airport or Roman port
ruins of Ostia Antica.

Termini
Station is like a small town in itself. There is a large underground
shopping centre on two floors including a medium sized supermarket.
At platform level are all the travel agents, newsagents and eating
outlets you'd expect at any major rail station.
Out front is Rome's main bus terminus and below is the intersection
of Rome's two Metro lines. |

Airport
Train
There
is a direct non stop train called the Leonardo Express from Termini
to Rome's Fiumicino Airport - the one used by most of the scheduled
national airlines.
Journey time is just 35 minutes, trains run every 30 minutes from
around 06:30 to 23:30.

There
is a cheaper alternative, a stopping train that runs every 15 minutes
(30 minutes, Sunday) from Fiumicino. It doesn't stop at Termini but
connects with the Metro at Piramide and Tiburtina stations.
