There are two airports in Rome:
When you fly into Rome, you land at one of the two main airports:
Both handle millions of travelers every year, but Fiumicino is Rome's main airport and Italy's busiest overall. Ciampino is far smaller, though it's the base for plenty of low-cost airlines. It's the older of Rome's two airports and sits 15 kilometers from the city center.
Getting from the airport into Rome
Follow this advice for getting from the airport into central Rome:
- Neither of Rome's airports connects to the metro, but from Fiumicino there's a train that links up with several stations in central Rome and ends at Roma Termini.
- When you land at either airport, if you still don't have a ticket into Rome, it's not a big deal. Some of the companies running the transfer service into central Rome sell tickets at small stands, at the information desks in each airport, or you can even buy them on board.
- If you've gone for a private transfer, bring a printed copy of your booking receipt to show the driver who'll be waiting to drop you off at your hotel door.
- If you decide to take a taxi, as we explain on the pages for both airports, taxis licensed by the city of Rome charge flat rates: €54.00 from Fiumicino to the center or from Ciampino Airport to the center.
