AIRPORTS OF ROME: FIUMICINO AND CIAMPINO Rome has two international airports, Fiumicino airport and Ciampino airport. The first is located south-west Rome, the second on the south-east.

The official name of Fiumicino airport is Leonardo Da Vinci, but you will also find it under FCO. Founded in 1961, the airport has increased its traffic every year. To conform to the main international airports worldwide, FCO has recently renamed its terminals: terminal 1, terminal 2, terminal 3 and terminal 5. Leonardo da Vinci lies about 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Rome city centre, which means approximately 40 minutes by car. There are information desks located in all terminals as well as 24 hour cash machines (ATMs), Money Exchange counters and first aid facilities. There are also numerous shops, that sell exclusive quality duty free goods, and many restaurants, cafes and bars. The luggage storage facility is on the Arrivals level of International Terminals and it is open from 07:00 until 23:00. Storage costs approximately € 2.00 for up to 7 hours, € 3.50 up to 24 hours. Large or heavy luggage costs € 6.00 per day. In the event of your baggage being lost, please report immediately to the handling operator indicated on the monitor.

Ciampino airport is situated 15 km southeast of central Rome and it is addressed as CIA. Between 1960 and 2000 it was mainly used as a commercial and military airport, but after that Ciampino airport has seen increased traffic thanks to the low cost companies. Ciampino airport is open from 04:00 to 24:00. The Arrival Hall is quite small therefore the meeting point, if you have arranged private airport transfers, will be the cafe opposite the main exit.

There are a few interesting projects on the extensions of these lines but nothing has been realized yet.

Therefore, unless you are staying in the rome city centre and can do most of your sightseeing on foot, you might need to catch few buses as well. The BIT ticket costs 1€ and it is valid for 75 minutes. The MULTIBIT ticket costs 5€ and can be used as five different 1€ tickets, even in different days. The BIG ticket costs 4€ and can be used until 24:00 of the day of purchase. It is valid for an unlimited number of journeys up to 24:00 hrs. The BTI ticket costs 11€ and is valid for three days. There are no zones. The ticket will be valid on any line, both bus and metro, except for the private decked buses.
