Our recommendations
Most of the time, Terravision buses are the most convenient option. They are comfortable, have frequent departures, and affordable rates.
That said, if you really need to get to Rome quickly and you have the money, consider the Leonardo Express train or a taxi.
Lastly, in case your accommodation is outside the city center, you might want to use the FL1 regional train or even temporarily rent a car through one of the available car-sharing apps.
