Getting From Rome to Fiumicino Airport

 

Whether you are arriving into Rome’s Fiumicino or Ciampino airport, the first order of business is to get from the airport into the city center. Here are a few options to help you do that.

Probably the quickest, most straightforward option is to take a train directly from the airport into the central part of town. This airport-to-city service is called the Leonardo Express and it’s a bit pricey, at 14EUR one way, but it’s efficient, direct, and fast. There are trains to the airport every 15 minutes during the week, and about 30 mins on weekends and holidays. If you want to go further afield, the regional FL1 train is a little slower but still quite convenient and only costs about 6EUR each way.

Once you are outside the airport, there are signs for the trains, and there’s a train station just across from Terminal 1. You can buy tickets to your destination at large red automated ticket machines in the baggage claim area or at a ticket counter, and there are also many other authorized newsstands and tobacco shops throughout the airport.

The trains are fast, comfortable, and clean, and there are a few different companies who operate them, so check before you travel to make sure that you’re buying a ticket for the correct line. Some companies offer reserved seats, and some have specific baggage policies, so it’s important to read up on what you need to do in advance.Click Here Taxi rome to airport 

Another way to avoid the hassle of getting to and from the airport is to use a private transfer, such as those offered by a few companies like Uber. You’ll be able to specify your vehicle (and its size) ahead of time and you’ll know in advance how much it will cost. Plus you won’t have to wait in a taxi rank line, which can be particularly long at peak times, and you’ll avoid the risk of being scammed by a fake driver.

You can book a prepaid Uber ride from your smartphone app, but it’s best to do so in advance of your arrival at the airport as the app has a tendency to overbook (which is not uncommon). Once you’re ready to go, you’ll need to head to the taxi queue. Once you’re at the top of the rank, you’ll be directed to a car that fits your group. There are plenty of options to choose from, but they tend to be small cars and may not be suitable for groups with luggage.

The process of getting into Rome from the airport is very well organised. You’ll find a huge amount of information about departures and arrivals on the website here, and you’ll also be given very clear instructions when you arrive at the airport, especially if you have connecting flights. Just be aware that if you are flying to the USA on an American carrier, or if you’re traveling to Israel, you’ll need to go through passport control and security again when you arrive in the terminal for your next flight.
