By Taxi:
A taxi ride to the center of Rome costs about EUR50, including supplemental (extra charges) for airport service and luggage, and takes about 30-45 minutes depending on time of day and traffic. Private limousines can be booked at booths in the Arrivals hall; they charge a little more than taxis but can carry more passengers. There is a taxi stand in front of the International Arrivals hall and a booth inside for taxi information. Use only licensed white or older yellow taxis. Avoid drivers who may approach you in the Arrivals hall; they charge exorbitant, unmetered rates.

By Train:
Two trains link downtown Rome with Fiumicino. Inquire at the EPT tourist information counter in the International Arrivals hall or train information counter near the tracks to determine which takes you closest to your destination in Rome. The 30-minute nonstop Airport-Termini express (called the Leonardo Express) goes directly to Track 22 at Termini Station, Rome's main train station, which is well served by taxis and is a hub of Metro and bus lines. The ride to Termini takes 30 minutes; departures are every half hour beginning at 6:37 AM from the airport, with a final departure at 11:37 PM. Trains depart Termini to the airport starting at 5:52 AM and run until 11:23 PM. Tickets cost EUR8.80.

FM1: (the other airport train)
leaves from the same tracks and runs to Rome and beyond, serving commuters as well as air travelers. The main stops in Rome are at Trastevere (35 minutes), Ostiense (40 minutes), and Tiburtina (50 minutes); at each you can find taxis and bus and/or Metro connections to other parts of Rome. FM1 trains run from Fiumicino between 5:57 AM and 11:27 PM, with departures every 20 minutes (a little less frequently in off-hours); the schedule is similar going to the airport. Tickets cost EUR4.70. For either train, buy your ticket at a vending machine or at ticket counters at the airport and at some stations (Termini Track 22, Trastevere, Tiburtina). At the airport, stamp the ticket at the gate. Remember when using the train at other stations to stamp the ticket in the little yellow or red machine near the track before you board. During the night, take COTRAL buses from the airport to Tiburtina Station in Rome (45 minutes); they depart from in front of the International Arrivals hall at 1:15, 2:15, 3:30, and 5 AM. Buses leave Tiburtina Station for the airport at 12:30, 1:15, 2:30, 3:45, and 5 AM. Tickets either way cost EUR3.60.
