 | |  |  | Airports from/to Rome: From Fiumicino To The City | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Leonardo Express is the direct train between Leonardo da Vinci (or Fiumicino) airport and Roma Termini. There are no mid-way stops on this route. If you need to get off at Trastevere, Ostiense, Tuscolana or Tiburtina, make sure to board the FR1 or FM1 train to Fara Sabina instead.
The main characteristic of the Leonardo Express is the frequency: there are two trains every hour in each direction. It’s a thirty-one minute run to cover the 37 km distance.
Airport-bound trains depart at 22 and 52 minutes after the hour, while Termini-bound trains depart at 07 and 37 minutes after the hour. The first train leaves Termini at 5:52; the last at 22:52. The first train leaves Fiumicino at 6:37; the last at 23:37.
Ticket for an adult or a child over 12 years old is € 11. For frequent customers, a carnet of 10 tickets is available for € 85 (a savings of € 25). This could also be a good option for group travellers.
Besides ticket windows at all train stations, you can purchase tickets for the Leonardo Express online, from newspapers/tobacco stands (edicola/tabacchi) at the airport and in Termini, from all Trenitalia automatic ticket machines, from qualified travel agencies where the Trenitalia logo is displayed on the window, and at all major national airports.
Don’t forget to validate your tickets from the yellow machine on the binario before boarding. Leave a Comment Theme: TrainWebsite: http://www.trenitalia.it/

Updated April 08
Take the Leonardo Express for a quick ride into Rome. It stops at Roma Termini, the main train station in Rome and cloest to the historical center.
A ticket costs 11E, the trains usually leave from Track 2 at the airport., and they usually arrive at Track 24 in Rome, which is a good thing, as 24 is much closer to the exit than the old Track 26. Saves about 10 minutes of walking.
The train is easy and there's no chance of getting caught in Rome's infamous traffic. Follow signs in the airport to the station (Stazione), find the small vending machines, select the direct train to Roma Termini, insert your credit card, and 5 seconds later, you've bought your 11 euro ticket to Rome. Don't forget to time-stamp your ticket in the yellow machines on the platform.
The Leonardo Express usually leaves at :05 and :35 after the hour and takes 31 minutes. There's only one stop - Roma Termini. Keep a watch on your luggage and belongings.
Departure announcements are made in English. If you have time, walk to the last car as it will be the closest to the entrance when you arrive in Rome. There's a "left luggage" service at Termini near Track (Binario) 24.
If your hotel is too far to walk to, grab a taxi from the official line under the covered sidewalk in front of the main entrance. DO NOT accept a ride from anyone who comes up to you and offers you a taxi.
RETURN TRAINS: They leave for the airport at :22 and :52 after the hour. For an up-to-date schedule, check out the website below. Enter "Fiumicino Airport" and "Roma Termini." Look for the trains with a "D" for direct.
If you're looking for the CHEAPEST way to get into town, try the regional train (Ferrovia Metropolitana 1 or FM1) to Tiburtina Station (5.5 E), and from Tiburtina, take the Metro to Termini (1 E). Tiburtina is 5 k's east of the historical center. Other stops fairly near the historical center include Trastevere and Ostiense/Piramide. Leave a Comment Theme: TrainWebsite: www.trenitalia.com

| | | | Airports from/to Rome: Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci Airport | Tip Rating: | | | | |
When we were staying in Gaeta, Italy, for two months, Allan's sister Jayne came to visit us for about ten days, and she flew from Chicago to Rome. We drove from Gaeta to Rome's (Fiumicino) Leonardo Da Vinci Airport. It and Milan's Malpensa are Italy's two most important hubs of transportation for "long haul" flights.
We had it all planned to meet her at the gate, and I was to take the photo. The airport is about 18 miles from Rome's center, and if you had to take a taxi, it would cost about $35-40 and would take around 40 minutes.
The big moment came, her plane was announced, and we stood waiting. As she came out, looking around helplessly, Allan ran up and kissed her on the cheek...I snapped the picture and was able to capture all the emotion.
A note of warning: Don't be alarmed if you see military people armed in the airport. It is part of the security there. The first time that I saw it, I was somewhat frightened. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: 06-65-95 44 55

For all of you travelling to Rome by air, getting to and from Fiumicino airport (also known as the Leonardo Da Vinci Airport) is simple.
There is a train that travels direct (without stopping) to Termini Station, which is the connecting point for most trains, but also for both the Metro Lines - Line A and Line B.
If you are going from the centre out to the airport, you will find Termini on any Metro map.....it is very easy to find.
We used a taxi to get from the airport into rome, but used the train on the way home. It did seem a little expensive, but when you consider your other options i.e. Taxi, Bike or walk, i guess it's not to bad really.
A one way ticket from Termini to Fiumicino cost 9 Euros and 50 Cents each, a total of 19 Euros.
The trains are comfy enough, and the plus point is that you get to see the outskirts of Rome, which you might not otherwise have seen. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
