Ciampino Airport

Ground Transportation to Rome

Ciampino Airport (CIA) is the older--and smaller--of Rome's two commercial airports. Since 1960, it has played second fiddle to Leonardo da Vinci International Airport at Fiumicino. In recent years, however, Ciampino has been redeveloped as a modern airport for low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz Air, along with charter airlines and general aviation.

Unlike some other airports used by low-cost carriers (such as Paris Beauvais or Treviso near Venice), Ciampino is relatively close to the city center. It offers a number of handy ground-transportation options:

On the following pages, you can read about:

Terravision buses, which run frequently between Ciampino Airport and Termini (Rome's main railroad station).
The ATRAL/Schiaffini shuttle bus to the Anagnina station on Rome Metro Line "A," which serves key tourist areas in Rome's centro storico or historic center.
Other buses, shuttles, and taxis that may be worth considering if the first two alternatives don't meet your needs.
