Getting To & From Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport
Travel to and from Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is anchored by several reliable transport options. The Leonardo Express train runs non-stop between the airport station and Roma Termini station in roughly 32 minutes, operating every 15 to 30 minutes with a standard one-way fare of €14. Alternatively, the FL1 regional commuter train stops at major railway hubs like Roma Tiburtina, Ostiense, and Trastevere for an 8 euro fare. Road transit includes multiple shuttle bus services (such as SIT Bus Shuttle, Terravision, and TAM) connecting to Termini and Vatican stops for about €7 to €8. Official airport taxis maintain a fixed fare of €55 for journeys between FCO and the central city area (within the Aurelian Walls) for up to four passengers with luggage.

Terminals & Getting Around
Terminals
Rome Fiumicino operates primarily through two active passenger facilities: Terminal 1, which handles domestic flights and Schengen-area European traffic, and Terminal 3, which manages intercontinental and non-Schengen international departures. Terminals are linked by pedestrian walkways equipped with moving corridors and clear directional signage, making inter-terminal transfers straightforward on foot within 5 to 10 minutes.
Hours of Operation
Fiumicino Airport operates 24 hours a day. While basic terminal services and seating remain accessible overnight, security checkpoints generally restrict airside access until early morning departure banks open.
Know Before You Go
Practical Tips
- Use the airport's free QPass service to reserve a specific time slot for security screening, which bypasses standard queues during peak departure hours.
- Allow at least two hours for Schengen departures and three hours for non-Schengen or intercontinental flights due to mandatory passport controls.
- When taking a taxi from the official terminal rank, ensure the driver honors the legally mandated flat rate of €55 to central Rome before departing.
- Verify your specific terminal assignment online prior to arrival, as airline operational shifts between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 occur periodically.
