History of the airport

Fiumicino Airport was built in 1960 on the outskirts of Fiumicino, 30 kilometers from Rome. L'aeroporto di Roma Fiumicino has its full name - International Airport. Having undergone a number of changes and modernizations, it remains one of the largest airports in the country with an annual turnover of 37 million passengers.

In 1961, Fiumicino took over the baton from the hopelessly outdated Ciampino airport. The new airport terminal boasted two runways. Throughout the 1960s, Alitalia, the country's leading airline, worked hard to improve the airport. During this time, another runway for aircraft take-off and landing appeared. In addition, new hangars and technical services were constructed.

At the moment, Da Vinci Airport is equipped with five access terminals. Passengers get directly to the plane's steps via special hoses or by bus. Travelers' suitcases are promptly sorted by an electronic baggage handling system. Large cargo is transported through a special Cargo City terminal. Alitalia's signature red and green logo adorns the tails of Boeings, Airbuses, Bombardier CRJs and Embraer E-Jets. Thus, tourists arrive in the capital of Italy with great comfort.

Airport terminals have their own specifics:

• T1 – local flights and flights to Schengen countries.
• T2 – international flights and partially flights within Italy.
• T3 - local flights and international flights, including flights from the CIS countries.
• T5 – connections with Israel and the United States.

2. Express train "Leonardo Express" goes straight from the airport walls to the railway station, and then to the center of Rome. The ticket price is 14 euros, a fast (~30 min), but not the cheapest way to get to the capital. The first Leonardo train departs from the airport Fiumicino Aeroporto to Roma Termini at 6:38, and the last one at 23:38. Check the current schedule on the official website of the railways www.trenitalia.com. Travel time is 32 minutes. Read the article ""
   Helpful information: Travel time on foot from the baggage claim area (Terminal 3) to the train station is about 10-15 minutes.

3. Once every half hour the train runs between Fiumicino airport and railway stations Trastevere, Ostiense and Tiburtina. The fare is 8 euros. This transport is not suitable for people aimed at the center of Rome, since the mentioned stations are located on the outskirts of the city, but it is perfect for those who want to stay in one of the most atmospheric and culinary or go to. The first train leaves from the airport Fiumicino Aeroporto toRoma Trastevere at 5:57, and the last one at 23:17.
4. Regular bus service from the airport to the Termini and Tiburtina railway stations makes life much easier for tourists who decide to transit Rome or stay in it for a few days. The fare is 4 euros.
5. And for dessert there were left, which are supposed to take guests of the city for a fixed fee of 48 euros - this option is preferable in the most extreme cases. However, you should carefully choose a taxi; the car must certainly be white and decorated with special checkers. Otherwise, you can pay exorbitant prices to the overly enterprising Italians. But remember that any taxi driver will want to deceive you and say that, for example, 48 euros is only to the city, and a trip around the city is considered separately. And you will never be able to convince him, especially if you don’t. Taxi drivers can ask for additional luggage from 3 euros.

Happy landing to all travelers!

You can try to catch a car at the exit from the Terminal - as at any major airport in the world, there are many of them. Taxi cars in Rome are easily identified by their white paint and checkered roofs.

The length of the quest with the search for a free car and successful landing directly depends on the arrival time of your flight and seasonality. A separate nuance is the taxi drivers themselves, and here everything depends on your luck - who you run into. Most of them, by the way, do not speak English.

Official taxis in Rome are white

Formally, a single official tariff applies to travel from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Termini - 48 Euros, but the nuance is that the station is located on the very border of its coverage area. And if a taxi driver stops you just on the other side of the street, he may well demand payment according to the meter. And he will be right about it.

Order a taxi and transfer online

The most popular services of this type:
