Rome Travel Tips and City Facts

Getting from the airport to town and exploring the city

Leonardo da Vinci/Fiumicino Airport is 19 miles (30 kilometres) south-west of the centre of Rome and the best way into town is by train. There is a non-stop express to Termini Station, the central rail station, and a train to Tiburtina Station on the east side of Rome.
As for taxis, you'll probably find a crowd of people soliciting to drive you into Rome, but it is best to go to the taxi stand and use only the yellow or white taxis. Make sure the meter is running and if not, settle on a fare before you leave the airport. Travel time will be 40 to 60 minutes.
