'Mode': TO,AROUND
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: From Aeroporto di Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) there are several ways to get to Rome. The Leonardo Express train leaves every 30 minutes from the railway station in the airport. It takes 30 minutes and arrives at the center station Roma Termini. The cost is 17.000 or 8,78 Euro. The first train is after 7 am and the last train is around 10:37 pm. Taxis are good when there is a group of people. Make sure the meter is on and running. They attach fees for using the taxi from the airport, number of bags, and if it is from 10pm - 6am or a holiday. Be sure to understand the add ons. There is a posting in every taxi with the amount they will add on to the meter. For 2 people to the center will run from 70.000 to 80.000 Lit with tip. There are buses that run from the airport, but usually they are not that frequent and are usually only good for late night arrivals.
Rome has good public transport, but can be confusing to get around. Rome has 2 metro lines A and B. Line C is opening in 2006. The two lines intersect at the central train station, Roma Termini. Otherwise, there is a very extensive bus system in Rome. It is possible to get anywhere in the city with buses, though it might take 2 or 3 of them. There are late night buses, as well. They are marked on the signs with an owl. Taxis are also very good. And in the center it should cost no more than 20.000 Lit from place to place in the center. Remember at night and holidays they add a 5.000 Lit fee.
