Plan your departure

Airports, taxis & help

Leave extra time for waiting, traffic, luggage and possible service changes.

The train ride is roughly 40–45 minutes. The FL1 ticket is separate from ATAC urban tickets.

Official airport rail info

Ciampino (CIA)

Simple public-transport option: Metro A from Furio Camillo towards Anagnina to Subaugusta — 7 stops, then bus 520 directly to the airport.

A BIT ticket is valid on Metro A and bus 520 within its 100-minute validity. Allow roughly 45–60 minutes, depending on waiting and traffic.

Official airport bus info

Roma Termini

Metro A from Furio Camillo towards Battistini goes directly to Termini in 6 stops.

Allow around 15–20 minutes door to door, plus extra time if you need to find a specific platform or train.

Open route

Using a taxi safely

Use only official white taxis with a roof sign and a Roma Capitale licence number. Ask for the meter to be switched on and request a receipt.

You can call ChiamaTaxi Roma: 060609 or use its official app. Because the Via Clelia area is outside the Aurelian Walls, the fixed airport fares advertised for journeys to or from the historic centre do not apply here.

If anything is unclear or you need help during your stay, message your host before leaving.
