How to get to Rome

By plane (from the airport to the city) 
The Leonardo da Vinci airport, situated at Fiumicino, is about 36 km from Rome. A train line connects the airport to the air terminal, near the Roma Ostiense train station. The terminal is, in turn, connected via moving platform to the contiguous subway station Pyramid ("Piramide") (line B). The train leaves every 20 minutes from 5:30 to midnight.  It is also possible to reach the city using buses that stop just outside the airport. They go to the air terminal of via Giolitti, situated alongside the Termini Station.
The Ciampino airport, 16 km southeast of Rome, is the destination for most air charters and for some domestic lines.  It is connected to the Termini Station by a local train line and by the buses that go outside the city limits ("extraurban"). The most comfortable solution, but also the most expensive, is given by taxis, which serve both airports.

By Train
All international trains and most Italian trains stop at the Termini Station in Piazza del Cinquecento, situated near the urban center. 
For information, go to the Ufficio dell'Azienda Autonoma delle Ferrovie di Stato (National Railroad Office), open from 7:00 to 23:30, telephone 4755. 
At the Tiburtina Station there are stops, especially during the night hours, for some trains headed south.

How to get around in Rome 
ATAC, the Roman urban transport society, manages the subways, trams, and buses. There are two subway lines. The first, line A, crosses the city from the western side (via Tuscolana - via Appia) to the Vatican section; the second, line B, connects the eastern zone (Rebibbia) with the EUR (Exposizione Universale di Roma), crossing line A near Termini Station. 
At the ATAC offices one can purchase the Romapass, a card that allows three days of travel throughout the entire transport network. At the offices one can request a free card that indicates subway, tram, and bus routes. Part of the historical center is criss-crossed by the electric minibus 119, which leaves from Piazza Augusto Imperatore.
Some taxi services are: the Cooperative Autoradiotaxi Romana, tel. 3570 Radiotaxi La Capitale, tel. 4994 Radiotaxi Cosmos, te. 88177.
