But it may also be appropriate, when the distance is too great, or when it is necessary to use some of the public transport services with which Rome is so well equipped, quickly from one place to another.

Rome has 3 different carriers: Atac, Cotral and FS.

And the city offers a large network of metro, buses, trams and trains.

The recurring question for many is how to get into Rome from outside the airport.

This issue has become no less topical since Norwegian now offers a cheap flight to Fiumicino just before midnight!

On the side, we have help with how you use the public transport in Rome and how you come to and from the two airports of Rome.

There are 238 bus routes and 7 trams running from the hours. 5.30 to about midnight.

At night, there are 27 bus routes running from midnight to midnight. 5.30 These routes have an N after the line number.

For tourists, the 110 bus route is probably the most interesting, as it travels from Termini (the main station) and on a 2-hour route comes across all the major sites. The route is also known for its pocket thieves - so be careful!

In the link chart here on the right side, you can find the ATAC website where you can write on a search service where you want to travel to and from, and have the journey routed.

There's also a link to a map of bus lines, so you can see and maybe download a map of Rome with bus lines.

There are 2 metro lines crossing each other on the Termini (main gangway) at the edge of the center. They're normally driving between noon. 5.30 and 23.30 

The Flaminio, Trestevere, Ostiense, Termini, Tiburtina and Tuscolana submarines can make progress on regional trains (known as FS and Contral).

In the link chart here on the right side, you can find a metro card right to print out.

Tickets for buses and metro

Tickets and various metro, bus and tram maps can be purchased at the airport, at the metro stations, pulled in vending machines (see photograph) or bought in the many kiosks (Tabacchi) which display ticket sales (see after ATAC sign).

To and from airports

Rome has two airports.

Leonardo Da Vinci rome airport, a major international airport (called Fiumicino) and a smaller one called Ciampino. With the exception of a few low-cost airlines, all flights from Denmark land in Fiumicino, which has most traffic connections to Rome.

Late arrival:

If you arrive late, for example, with Norwegian, who has a arrival a little after the hours. 23.00 please be aware that part of the public transport in Rome stops at midnight. Just so you don't strangle half-weather and can't get all the way to your final destination.

Luggage delivery often takes time (perhaps it is faster or slower at this time of day) but recognizes about 30-40 minutes. to the baggage delivery when you have to calculate your transport.

We recommend that you just go and see what time brings. When you have your luggage in the arrival hall, you can judge which transport offer you want to use - and a taxi to the hotel you can always get.

From Fiumicino rome airport to Rome

With the train:

There are two excellent train connections from Fiumicino airport to Rome.

One is the so-called ‘Leonardo Express’, which goes to Termini (Rome main railway station), from which there is a connection to the metro network.

The second is the regional train that goes into Stazione Trastevere, where there are several bus connections and a tram that can take you forward.  

So if you're going with one train or the other depends on where you're going to live in Rome.

The FS train ‘Leonardo Express’ runs every six weeks without a stop to Termini. 

The regional train F1 runs every week every 15 days. a minute with a stop, including Stazione Trastevere and Stazione Ostiense.

From Stazione Trastevere you can take tram number 8 over Largo Argentina to Piazza Venezia, in the middle of the historic center.

Tickets to the trains can be purchased online on FS website (see link here at the top right of the page) and, of course, on the station.

For Stazione Termini the ticket costs EUR 14 and for Stazione Trastevere the EUR 8

The ticket is only valid for this train journey from the airport to Rome - if you go on with a metro or bus, you have to buy a ticket for this.

With rome airport taxi:

There's always a lot of rome airport taxi in front of the airport building.

From the airport to an optional address in Rome, there is a fixed price of EUR 48. It's on the outside of the cab.

Remember, there is a fixed price and a drop, not for the attempt by creative drivers to add allowances for both one and the other.

There is a wealth of pirate taxis that are inside the airport building and offer themselves. Someone is using this successfully, others are being cheated so the water runs. 

With shuttle rome airport bus:

There are a number of private bus companies operating from the airport to Rome, typically to the Stazione Termini (the main railway station in the eastern peripheral of the center).

In the arrival hall, there are a number of fines to buy tickets for these buses.

This is probably the cheapest transport to Rome. 

With limousine:

There are a number of private limousine companies offering transport to and from the airport. 

In the link list here at the top right of the page, we have links to some of these companies' websites in the link called "Order a car with driver"

Through the hotel:

If you're going to stay in a hotel, one of the simplest solutions might be just to let the hotel take care of your transport.

The vast majority of hotels offer this, and then there is simply a driver at the airport with a sign with your name. He'll help with the luggage and drive you directly to the hotel at a pre-agreed price.

Rented car:

All the large rental companies have car extradition at the airport. On the link here at the top of the page, we have a page about driving a car in Rome and how to find a car park, and so on.

From Ciampini Airport to Rome

With the train:

There is no train connection to this airport, but an ATAC bus every hour in the period 10.00 - 20.00) which goes to the Anagnina metro station (line A).

With taxi:

There's always a lot of taxi in front of the airport building.

From the airport to an optional address in Rome, there is a fixed price of EUR 30. It's on the outside of the cab.

Remember, there is a fixed price and a drop, not for the attempt by creative drivers to add allowances for both one and the other.

Tickets can be purchased at/on the bus.

The opposite way off the bus from Termini (via Marsala) is the first time at 4.30 and last time at 22.00

Tickets are bought in the building at the stop.

You can get an up-to-date roadmap in one of the many tourist offices that exist throughout Rome. 

There are a number of private bus companies operating from the airport to Rome, typically to the Stazione Termini (the hovertrain station in the eastern peripheral of the center).

In the arrival hall, there are a number of fines to buy tickets for these buses.

This is probably the cheapest transport to Rome. However, as there are several companies competing - and prices therefore vary - we have no information on this.

In the link list here at the top right of the page, we have links to some of these bus companies' websites in the link called "shuttle buses".

Sightseeing Tours

As I said earlier, the 'Apostles Horses' you are going to experience Rome - yes, unless you live on the outskirts of the city and are therefore forced to use public transport to get to the historic center.

Having said that, there are two great opportunities to come to an experience - especially if you want an overall view of the city.

Several places - including at Piazza Venezia, the Spanish Trapper, St Petersburg and the Colosseum sightseeing buses with "jump on and on the way", which make it easy to see the "outer edge" of Rome - because the buses cannot show you the historic center - which is "bus-free" area;

You go to Rome to see the great "walkers", there's a bus for all seven of them. Here you can buy a daily ticket and then jump on and off as you like. 

This bus you can climb at St Petersburg or one of the other rollers.
