Rome has two airports, both of which service international flights. The main airport is Leonardo da Vinci Airport, also known as Fiumicino. The second airport is Ciampino, and this is where many of the budget airlines such as Ryanair and easyjet land.
Fiumicino is about 26km from the centre of Rome, and is connected to the centre via a train service. The train runs every 30 minutes between 05:52 and 22:52 and takes thirty minutes to reach Stazione Termini - the main station. This direct train costs 9 euros. A cheaper option is to take the train that calls at Trastevere, Ostiense and Tibutina stations, this train runs every 15 minutes and costs 5 euros and runs between 05:06 and 22:36.

If you weighed down by all the euros in your pocket, you can of course take a taxi - which will do alot to unburden you of all that unwanted cash. The journey takes 45 minutes and after additional charges for luggage, charged per piece, and the supplement, you could end up relieving yourself of 50 euros.
Ciampino airport is just 20km from the centre, and if you are arriving on Ryanair or easyJet then the bus service to Roma Termini is scheduled to fit in with these flights. The bus takes about 20 minutes and costs 8 euros. Alternatively there is the Cortal bus to the metro, to the Anagnina station on line A and from there on Stazione Termini, and costs 1 euro.
During the night there is the Cortal bus service which connects the airport with Ciampion Metro Station and costs 1 euro for the five minute journey. The metro runs every 10 minutes to Stazione Termini.
As with Fiumicino, you can get the taxi into the centre of the city, but be sure to use a registered company from the rank opposite the arrivals hall. Make sure that the meter is running, and also be aware that supplements are payable for luggage, night journeys and journeys on public holidays.
TRAIN
International trains arrive at the Stazione Termini, which is close to the Forum, just north east of Palatine Hill. From Stazione Termini there are regular connections to the rest of Italy and the rest of Europe.
BUS
Unlike trains, the international buses arrive at Tiburtina Station which is just outside the city centre, but easily reached by metro.
Getting around in Rome
Boasting buses, metro, trams and a suburban train network, Rome enjoys an extensive and integrated transport system. The buses cover most of the the greater Rome area, and most of them terminate in fron the Stazione Termini - from where a map of the bus routes is available. The buses operate from 06:00 until 24:00, and there are a number of night services.
The Metro system has two lines, A and B, which are both convenient for getting to the city´s sights. The junction for the metro lines is at Stazione Termini.
Tickets - rather than needing several tickets for the different modes of transport, there is a unified ticketing system allowing travel on buses, trams, trains and metro with just one ticket.
Basically there are three types of ticket:
BIT - Ingrated Single Ticket, this ticket costs one euro and allow 75 minutes of transport on all buses, metros and trams. The ticket is validated on the first mode of transport used.
BIG - Integrated Daily Ticket, ideal for those doing a lot of sightseeing. A daily ticket is valid on all forms of transport until midnight of the day it was validated. This ticket cannot be used for transit to the airport.
CIS -Integrated Weekly Pass, basically the same as the daily ticket. Costs 16 euros and is vaild for 7 days and give unlimited travel on buses, trams and metro.
Monthly passes are also available for those staying that long, the pass costs 30 euros and is valid for one calendar month. They are only available until to 5th of each month.
