HOW TO REACH ROMA DOWNTOWN FROM ROMA AIRPORTS
Roma has two airports:
Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci), which is the main airport and
Ciampino (G.B. Pastine)
Both of them are about 30-35 kms from the centre of Roma.
You have several options to reach downtown Roma. Some solutions are:
By Taxi
The Comune di Roma (Rome Council) has set up a fixed fare for taxis from Fiumicino and Ciampino Airports to inside the city walls. The fare is 40 Euro from Fiumicino and 30 Euro from Ciampino (maximum 4 people with baggage included in the fare). Be aware that starting from September an increase of 5 euro in the fare can be applied
The number to call for a taxi is +39 06 0609.
Licensed taxis are white with the sign Taxi on the car roof, and have a meter inside. Avoid taxi drivers who approach you. You should look for them at the taxi stands. If you try to stop a taxi on the road do not get upset if they do not stop. They rarely do.
