Transportation
By air
Italy's capital city is served by Fiumicino Airport, also known as Leonardo da Vinci Airport, located around 26 kms southwest of Rome city centre. Many direct flights to European and non-European destinations depart daily from Fiumicino Airport. A second airport close to Rome is Ciampino Airport, situated 15 kms southeast of the city. In addition to charter flights and budget airlines, Ciampino Airport is used as a military airbase.

Getting to Rome from both airports is easy. Both airports have busses and trains going to Termini Station in Rome. It is also possible to take a taxi which will cost approximately € 40.
By train
Trenitalia runs trains from Rome through all of the country and has also international trains connecting Italy with Switzerland, Austria, Germany, France and Belgium.
Most long-distance trains run to Termini station, which is also the main hub for the local transport network, including metro and bus. Intercity trains run from Termini to all major Italian cities, including Florence, Naples and Milan.

The Autostrada del Sole connects Rome to the rest of Italy. If you arrive from the north of the country take the route A1, if you are arriving from the south take the route A2. The Italian highway has expensive toll rates. By driving on the smaller highways, such as the so called "strade municipali" and "strade statali" you avoid paying toll.
It is well known that driving in any large Italian city, and especially in Rome, can be quite difficult. It is best to avoid driving in the city centre, and you will find it usually easier to use public transportation or taxis. Parking spaces are limited and if you have been lucky in finding a parking space, it would be rather expensive. Keep in mind that private cars are not allowed during the week until 6 pm in the city centre.
Eurolines Italia runs international busses, with connections to cities throughout Europe. There is no central bus station in Rome, so busses depart and terminate in front of Tiburtina train station, Via Tiburtina (metro stop Tiburtina).
