On the map of Rome Fiumicino Airport you can see the location of the terminals, parking lots and railway station. Bus stops are located opposite Terminal 3. Important! When exiting the airport building, always pay attention to the signs, as Rome's airport is gigantic, and it is best to follow the signs, such as a bus or train sign.

From all terminals there are exits to the railway station, to taxi stops and bus stops, so it will not be difficult for travelers to deal with transport at the airport. Most importantly, pay attention to the signs that will tell you where to go. If you decide to get to Rome by train, then you need to go towards the railway station following the yellow signs, which show the train and the inscription "Trains" flaunts.

Since the official currency of Italy is the Euro, I think that most travelers will have this currency with them, and you will not need to go to exchange offices or ATMs, so immediately after passport control and baggage claim let's go buy tickets for public transport.

Now I will list all types of transport by which you can get to the center of Rome, and everyone will choose the best option for themselves.

Leonardo Express from Rome Airport

The fastest way to get from Fiumicino Airport to Rome is by train. Most modern European cities are connected to the airport by trains. On the territory of Fiumicino Airport there is a railway station, from where trains depart for Rome at intervals of 30 minutes. This train is called Leonardo Express (Leonardo Express) and resembles our Aeroexpress train. The Leonardo Express leaves the airport at 8:38 every hour. The train goes to the central railway station Roma Termini Without stops. How long does it take to get from the airport to the train station, you ask? Travel time is 32 minutes. From Rome, the train departs from Roma Termini station from platform 23/24 every hour at 22 and 52 minutes.

Trains from Fiumicino Airport to Roma Termini Station run from 06:36 to 23:36 every day. Flights from Roma Termini to Fiumicino Airport are from 05:52 to 22:52. Children under 12 travel free if accompanied by a paying adult. To find the train, you need to leave the baggage claim area and follow the signs to the station; right there at the station there will be a board of departure of all electric trains to the center of Rome.

Where can I buy a ticket? A ticket for the Leonardo Express can be bought at the ticket office of the airport railway station, on the Internet, tobacco newsstands (Tabaccheria) and special machines. A ticket for the Leonardo Express costs 14 Euros. for an adult for one trip (the price is valid for 2019). Luggage is also included in the fare. The fare for children under the age of 4 is free, from 4 to 12 free of charge for one paying adult.

The ticket is valid for 90 minutes, there is no need to validate the ticket. It is easy to buy a ticket in vending machines, they are intuitive: you need to select the type of ticket, the number of passengers, deposit money, get a ticket and change.

On the Rome metro map, you can clearly see where the airport is located and the necessary metro stations. Termini Station is the very center, and from here it is convenient to start walking around Rome and go to other cities, so I advise you to book a hotel here. If you have not yet booked a hotel, I advise you to do this on the Hotellook website, which has a lot of advantageous offers in more than 9000 hotels and apartments in Rome.

Important! Please note that you are arriving by train at Termini station and if your hotel is located at another metro station, you will have to face the following difficulties:

You will need to buy tickets for the metro, i.e. find ticket vending machines.
Walk to the metro station. This is not always easy, because there are a lot of people at the Termini station, everyone is snooping around, the signs are not always correctly hung.
Go down the subway. Not everywhere there are escalators, and you will have to carry your suitcases.
Climb into the subway car. During rush hours, the Rome metro cars are simply overcrowded, and it is very difficult to travel with a suitcase.
After you have reached the station you need, you will need to walk to the hotel, and if it is raining or hot outside, then after arriving at the hotel you will no longer have the strength left.

Therefore, always weigh the pros and cons when choosing which mode of transport to get from the airport. Well, we will move on to the next option for travel from the airport.

Fara Sabina train and metro

Train Fara Sabina (Orte Fara Sabina) (FM1) travels from Rome Fiumicino airport to the final railway station Orte, and along the way it makes stops at the main stations in Rome Tiburtina, Ostiense, Trastevere and in the suburbs. At Tiburtina, Tuscolana and Ostiense you can transfer from line FM1 to metro lines A or B. Train tickets cost 8 € (around the ring of Rome) and 11 € if you need to travel outside the ring, the duration is 90 minutes from moment of composting. The Fara Sabina train runs from 5 am to 9 pm. Travel time is slightly longer than the Leonardo Express, and the journey from the airport to the center of Rome takes approximately 1 hour.

On the map you can see all the stops of the FM1 train to the center of Rome.

Buses from Fiumicino Airport to Rome

From Leonardo da Vinci Airport to Rome can be reached by direct buses of various companies. Traveling by bus will cost you less than traveling by train and you will also arrive in the center of Rome. All bus companies include luggage transportation in the fare. Read the information on the official websites about the conditions for transporting children.

Buses of the company run from the airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 Cotral. The bus arrives at the station Rome - Tiburtina (Roma Tiburtina) and to the square Dei Cinquecento (Piazza dei Cinquecento) opposite Termini station. Travel time is approximately one hour, the ticket price is 5 € (7 € if bought on the bus). Other buses of the Cotral company going to the airport depart from the station Cornelia (Cornelia)- metro line A, and from the station Magliana- metro line B. The cost of the trip from the Magliana station is 2.5 €, the travel time is 45 minutes. For additional and up-to-date information, see the official website of the company. Cotral.

The bus goes to Termini Station, the bus stop is Via Marsala, 5. Tickets can be purchased on the Sitbusshuttle.com website.

schiaffini is an even cheaper bus company. A one-way ticket costs 5.9 €; round-trip 8.9 €. The buses of this company are old, smelly, broken-down, stuffy. Travel time is about the same. Tickets can be purchased at Romeairportbus.com.

Important!

Please note that the travel time on the bus depends on traffic jams in Rome.
Also, you should understand that you are not traveling by bus to the hotel, and you will need to transfer to another mode of transport after the bus to get to the hotel, and this is an additional waste of time.
When you transfer, you will have additional costs for travel by metro, bus or tram.
You will have to carry a suitcase and look for the hotel building.
Well, the last minus, a lot of tourists arrive at the airport, and everyone wants to save money. As a result, there may not be enough space on the bus, which means that you will be waiting for the next bus. I once traveled from Rome airport by bus, and had to wait an extra hour for the next bus, because. all tourists could not enter. Italians are also constantly running around, there is no clarity in work.

From the center of Rome, most buses leave for the airport from Termini Station. Some buses to the airport stop on Via Giovanni Giolitti, from the metro it takes about 5-7 minutes to get to the stop. There is a schedule at the bus stop, but, as I said above, it does not coincide with reality, there are also traffic jams in the city, so my advice to you is to leave for the airport in advance!

Taxi from the airport

There is a taxi rank at the exit of Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 5 of Rome Fiumicino Airport. The fare from the center or to the city center for a maximum of four people is 50-60 Euro inclusive with luggage. Additional information can be obtained from the Tourist Information Office of the City of Rome, located in the arrivals area of Terminal T3. If you are heading to the center of Rome, the fare will be shown on the taximeter, to which you need to add the cost of luggage. At rush hour and during the arrival of a large number of flights, there can be a queue for a taxi, and there are not enough taxis for everyone.

If you do not speak foreign languages If you arrive at night and are afraid to get lost, it is better to order a taxi transfer from Rome airport via the Internet in a reliable Russian company in advance. In the arrivals hall you will be met by a Russian-speaking driver with a sign who will help you carry your luggage to the car and will comfortably take you to the specified address. When ordering online and waiting for you in advance discount and fixed price. A taxi will take you to any area of Rome or even to another city, such as Civitavecchia, Viterbo, Lido dei Pini, Pomezia, Fiuggi, Bracciano, etc.

Car rent

Renting a car is a great option for independent tourists who like to visit the most interesting corners of the planet, do not like public transport and prefer freedom. You can rent a car if you include parking fees in your travel budget, toll roads and gasoline, and are also willing to learn information about local traffic regulations. You can book a car at the airport and pick it up immediately upon arrival, or in the city center. Traveling in a rental car is easy: it's like driving your own car.

It is the largest and busiest airport in Italy and is the hub for the Italian national carrier Alitalia and Vueling. Passenger turnover of Fiumicino in 2015 amounted to more than 40 million people.

Fiumicino has 4 runways and consists of four terminals: T1, T2, T3 and T5(previously they were marked with letters, but after a large-scale renovation of the airport in 1990-2000 they changed to more convenient digital designations).

Which companies fly from where?

Terminal 1– domestic Italian flights, intra-Schengen flights operated by Alitalia. Domestic Italian and intra-Schengen flights operated by KLM, Air France Hop!, Air Europa, Luxair, Compagnie Aérienne Corse Méditerranée S.A.E.M., Etihad Regional-Darwin Airlines, Air Berlin, Niki and Air Serbia.

Terminal 2– domestic Italian flights, domestic and non-Schengen flights, operated mainly by low-cost airlines Ryan air, Wizz air, Blue Air, Air Moldova, Sun Express and Meridiana.

Terminal 3- all Russian airlines(Aeroflot, Russia, etc.) and the vast majority of other airlines (Schengen and non-Schengen), some domestic flights are also operated from here.

Terminal 5- Direct flights to the USA and Israel operated by American and Israeli airlines respectively.

If you are flying connecting flight through Rome Fiumicino Airport and you then need to transfer from one terminal to another, I would advise you to take a ticket with a minimum connection of 2 hours, especially if the flights are operated by different carriers and you need to first pick up your luggage from one flight and then hand it over to another airline. If there is only one carrier, then I would recommend a minimum connection at Fiumicino Airport from 1.5 hours (and this often means that time will be running out), taking into account distances, queues at passport control and inspection. Naturally, airlines sell tickets with much smaller connections, and if you are late for the second flight on the same ticket due to a late plane or airport delays, you must be sent on the next flight. But, since this often violates other plans (check-in at a hotel, a transfer scheduled in advance, etc.), in such large hubs (transfer nodes) in Europe as Fiumicino Airport, it is worth bearing in mind the high probability of traffic overlays and it is better to play it safe by taking more long joint. In addition, between some terminals of Fiumicino Airport, it is necessary to travel by free shuttle buses, which also lengthens travel time (waiting for a bus (interval of 15 minutes), queues of passengers, etc.). In general, according to my travel experience, with children and elderly parents, you should forget about very short connections - this is a lot of stress.

WiFi is free at Fiumicino Airport. To connect, you need to select a network in the "Airport Free Wi-Fi" list, then open it and click on the Free Wi-Fi icon. Every time at the airport you need to do it manually, your gadget will not automatically reconnect.

Rome is one of the most interesting cities in Italy. It is incredibly beautiful and rich in its history. There are many attractions here, among them the main airport of the city of Fiumicino named after Leonardo da Vinci. It is about him that we will talk about in this article, as well as how to get from the airport to Rome. The information will be useful to everyone who is going to Italy for the first time.

Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci is the key in Italy. It is located southwest of Rome, within 30 km. It is named after the great Renaissance artist, as they say in Italy - Quattrocento Leonardo da Vinci. It has been operating since 1961 as a new air port of the city, since the existing Ciampino airport could not cope with the capacity of the flow of flights. Ciampino currently serves low-cost airlines.

Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport has 4 terminals.

Terminal 1 - serves flights to the Schengen states and domestic flights.
Terminal 2 - like Ciampino, is used by low-cost airlines.
Terminal 3 is the largest terminal, serving long-haul flights that can cover more than 6000 km.
Terminal 4 - serves flights to destinations in the United States of America, Asia and Israel.

Service

As with all high-end airports, Rome Fiumicino Airport has a large selection of bars, restaurants and food courts. If you have time, you can go shopping and browse the souvenir shops. There are bank branches, currency exchange offices and pharmacies. Nearby is a Catholic chapel and a prayer room, which includes several denominations. Nearby there are several hotels of different levels, such as Hilton Garden Inn Rome Airport 4*, Hilton Rome Airport 4*, Welcome Airport Hotel 2*, Hotel Corallo 3*.

How to get to the city?

In this part of the article, we will tell you about the most popular methods. There are several of them, and almost all of them are budget.

Express "Leonardo"

The main links with the center of the capital of Italy are the motorway and railway tracks, along which the high-speed train "Leonardo" runs. Finding the station is not difficult, just follow the yellow signs. They will take you to the express.

It departs from Terminal 3. In the same terminal you will receive your luggage, and after receiving you can immediately proceed to the train or bus stations. When choosing a train, you should be prepared for the fact that you will not arrive in the very center of Rome. Express goes non-stop. Travel time is only half an hour.

The train consists of 5 modern carriages equipped with air conditioning and comfortable lounges. The ticket costs around 15 euros.

Suburban train

Even to and from Da Vinci Airport in Rome, you can take suburban train, which makes stops, which makes it possible to save. The cost will be about 8 euros.

When leaving the arrivals hall, turn right, walk 100 meters along the yellow signs to the express train or go left to get to the bus ticket offices, there are other transfer options, but more on that later.

What is important to know about this type of transfer if you bought a ticket for the Leonardo Express? He will take you to Termini Station. But if you need to get to Trastevere, Ostiense (metro line B), Tuscolana (metro line A), Tiburtina (metro line A), then you need to take the Treno Regionale regional train. In case of inconvenience, if you feel that it is difficult to figure it out on your own, you just need to tell the ticket office which station is preferable for you. Be careful when passing to the desired train, at the beginning of each there is a board indicating the name and route. Express "Leonardo" usually leaves from the second track.

Bus

The bus can take you to Termini Central Station. In order to find the bus, you need to turn left, go to the escalator, then walk 5-10 minutes, following the signs. After a while you will see the box office and ticket machines. Often there are queues, so it's easier to buy a ticket on your own. Buses run every half an hour, as does the Leonardo Express, but the journey will take about sixty minutes, depending on traffic. In principle, if you have time, but the budget, on the contrary, is absent, the bus is what suits you.

Bus schedule

We advise you to look at the bus schedule in advance on the official websites of the carriers. You can also buy tickets there. However, you need to be sure that there will be no delays. It depends on the accuracy of arrival and departure at Rome airport, passing through passport control and baggage claim, which sometimes fails. Important: if you are flying on a night flight, you should not count on the bus, as they run until 23:00. There are also night flights, but this should be approached responsibly, make sure in advance of the bus schedules on the websites of companies transporting passengers.

Taxi

The next type of transfer is a taxi. The cost varies from forty-eight to seventy euros. A preliminary transfer can be ordered in advance by phone or via the Internet - a person with a sign will meet you, and you will go individually by car to the desired place. Please note that the taxi driver may charge an additional fee for the number of suitcases. The first one is included in the price, while for others you have to pay about 1 euro.

Car rent

If you want to get to Rome freely and not depend on anyone, you should rent a car. It is more rational to book a car in advance, so that upon arrival, it will take you no more than thirty minutes to complete all the documents and receive the car itself. The cost is about thirty-five - fifty euros per day.
