Fiumicino Airport

Getting between Fiumicino Airport and Rome, both directions. Pick your terminal below: what serves FCO differs by terminal.

Rome has two airports, and at each one the choice is the same: a service that takes the ordinary Metrebus ticket the rest of the city runs on, or a standalone product on a ticket of its own. At Fiumicino the Metrebus one is the FL1 regional line; at Ciampino it is ATAC's bus lines 720 and 520, which end at a metro station rather than in the centre. The Leonardo Express and the private airport coaches sell their own tickets, and a Metrebus ticket or pass will not get you onto any of them.
