Rome Airports

Two airports serve Rome: Leonardo Da Vinci Fiumicino Airport, or simply Fiumicino, and the low cost airport, Ciampino.

Fiumicino Airport

Fiumicino Airport is located about 19 miles from the Italian capital. Both national and international flights arrive in this airport and it is connected with the city centre by various bus lines and two railway lines. The Leonardo Express provides non-stop rail service to Termini Station in Rome in 30 minutes. The second railway line, the Sabina-Fiumicino line (FR1) makes various stops in Rome but is the cheapest option as it is about half the price of the Leonardo Express.

Ciampino Airport

Ciampino Airport is the low cost airport serving Rome, with flights from low cost airlines Ryanair and Wizz Air. It is 7.5 miles from central Rome and can be reached by bus. There are several bus companies that offer direct service to the capital.
