Rome, Leonardo da Vinci or Fiumicino airport
The airport is located 26 km southwest of the city of Rome
By train
The Leonardo Express is the direct train that serves the route between the airport and the centre of the city of Rome every 30 minutes.
- Trains from Termini depart from the track 24 on the right. Ticket costs euro 14, available at the counter as well as the Termini news stand. Tickets sold at the departure platform are more expensive. Get your ticket stamped in a yellow validation machine just before using it. Ticket expires 90 minutes after validation.
The ultramodern train Leonardo Express, covers the distance in 30 minutes.
There is also the possibility to use the older technology city’s metropolitan train that has a correspondence with the Metro. The metropolitan train FM1 links the airport of Rome with the regions Roma Tiburtina, Fara Sabina, Poggio Mirteto and Orte.
The Metropolitan train leaves from the track on the left but does not stop at Termini. Get off at Tiburtina Station or at Ostiense Station to connect to the Rome Metro. Tickets: euro 8.00, plus euro 1 for a metro ticket. The extra cost of the Leonard Express is for the convenience of a direct ride to Termini. If you are going somewhere else on the Metro, Tiburtina and Ostiense are as convenient. Get your ticket stamped in a yellow validation machine just before using it.
By taxi cab
The distinctive white taxi cabs await outside the passenger stations, in order to serve the passengers.
Taxis in Rome are white. From October 1st 2006 there are fix fares from downtown to airports. City center to Fiumicino and vice-versa cost 40 euros. City center to Ciampino and vice-versa cost 30 Euros. For others destinations fares are not fixed. You don't have to negotiate the price. Regular taxis have a taximeter. Fee for luggage is around 1 euro each. Be aware that Fiumicino is outside of city limits, this implies that the fare for first part is higher (a number 2 appears on the meter). The driver is supposed to change the fare to number 1 once he hits the ring highway (G.R.A.) and enters the city limits..
By Terravision Shuttle BusThe bus line Terravision Shuttle Bus serves the route between the airport and the central station of Rome, Termini.

Train Arriving at FCO
FM1 – Regional or Suburban train (€8 per person)
For many folks, this is a cheaper train alternative than the Leonardo Express – discussed below. If you are staying in the Ostiense or Trastevere area, than this is the train for you. Head to your train station and plunk down your €8. The trains usually leave about every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on Sundays and holidays. They start a little after 5 AM. The FM 1 trains from the Roma Ostiense station take about 30 minutes and from Roma Trastevere (the next stop on your way to the airport) about 26 minutes. You can ride local public transportation to these stations. Ostiense is on Metro Line B (Adjacent to the Piramide metro stop) and also well connected by buses. Roma Trastevere is linked by buses or most folks get there on the #8 tram – usually from Largo Argentina, which is a major bus hub. (See our article, The #8 Tram in Rome.I ride from Roma Trasevere often. The FM1 TO the airport from the Roma Trastevere station leaves from Track 5.
