Airports

Most international flights to Rome arrive at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (also called "Fiumicino"), which is located 32km (20 miles) west of the city. A second airport, Ciampino, serves domestic as well as some international flights. Ciampino is located 15km (9 miles) southeast of the center of Rome.

Leonardo da Vinci/Fiumicino

To take the train to downtown Rome, follow the signs at the airport marked "Treni." The Leonardo Express is a nonstop train that leaves the Fiumicino airport station for Stazione Roma Termini, Rome's main rail station. The train runs every half hour, from 6:37 a.m. until 11:37 p.m. and takes about 35 minutes. Tickets cost €9.50 and can be purchased from one of the (sometimes unreliable) ticket machines or at the train ticket office. If you're pressed for time, you can buy a ticket on the train for €11.
Taxis between Fiumicino and centre city destinations will cost you about €40.

Ciampino

To get into the heart of Rome from Ciampino, take the CoTral bus for €2. It departs from outside the terminal every half an hour and takes you to Anagnina, the terminus of Metro line A, in 20 minutes. From line A, you can take the subway (for €1) to Stazione Termini, Rome's main train station.
Taxis between Ciampino and the centre of Rome cost around €30. Extra charges for luggage, nighttime travel, and Sunday travel should be taken into account.

From the "Termini" Train Station

The main train station, Stazione Termini, is situated in the northeast corner of the historic center of the city ("centro storico"). Outside the ticketing hall of Termini, you will find Piazza del Cinquecento. This massive square is home to multiple taxi stands and the city's major bus terminal.
