How to Get to Rome from Fiumicino Airport

Regional train FL1

If your final destination in Rome is not in the Termini Station area, then the FL1 regional train may be your best option. We recommend this option, however, only if your destination is near a stop on this line.

The FL1 train connects Fiumicino Airport with several destinations in and outside of Rome. This is a relatively inexpensive option, but not always the most practical.

Stops

This service has stops south and east of Rome from which you can connect with the metro, tram, or city bus to reach any part of the city.

As with the Leonardo Express service, no ticket or pass for public transportation in Rome is valid for travel from Fiumicino Airport on the FL1. Likewise, the FL1 ticket from this terminal is not valid for public transportation either.

So, if you must take the metro or a bus from an FL 1 stop to get to your destination, the total cost of your transfer could be €9.50 (assuming you buy a €1.50 BIT ticket).

The service of the FL1 line trains is free for:

  • Children under 4 years old
  • Children between the ages of 4 and 12 (one child per adult)
  • Small pets in appropriate kennels

This line leaves Fiumicino in intervals of approximately 15 minutes from 5:57 am until 11:57 pm every day. At night, the intervals are a bit longer.
