Airport History

Fiumicino Airport was built in 1960 on the outskirts of the city of Fiumicino, which is 30 kilometers from Rome. L'aeroporto di Roma Fiumicino has the full name - Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Having undergone a number of changes and modernizations, it remains one of the largest airports in the country with an annual turnover of 37 million passengers.

In 1961, Fiumicino picked up the baton at the hopelessly outdated Ciampino Airport. The new airport terminal boasted two runways. Throughout the 60s, Alitalia, the country's leading airline, worked hard to improve the airport. During this time, another strip appeared for takeoff and landing of aircraft. In addition, new hangars and technical services were constructed.

At the moment, the da Vinci Airport is equipped with five checkpoints. Directly to the ramp, passengers get on special sleeves or on buses. Travel suitcases are quickly sorted by an electronic baggage handling system. Oversized cargo is transported through a special Cargo City terminal. Alitalia's signature red and green logo adorns the tails of Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier CRJ and Embraer E-Jet. Thus, tourists arrive in the capital of Italy with great comfort.

Airport terminals have their own specifics:

  • T1 - local flights and flights to Schengen countries.
  • T2 - international flights and partially flights within Italy.
  • T3 - local flights and international flights, including flights from the CIS countries.
  • T5 - Communication with Israel and the United States.

How to get there

For passengers arriving in Rome, several options are available for moving to the center of the capital:

  1. The most convenient and safe option is an individual transfer. For only 50 euros at the airport, a personal driver on a Mercedes E-class will be waiting for you and will take you to the hotel anywhere in the city. You can order a transfer from a friend of our editorial office Sergio on the site www.rome4.us, whose services we personally use.
  2. Express train "Leonardo Express" goes straight from the airport walls to Termini train station, and then to the center of Rome. Ticket price - 14 euros, fast (~ 30 min), but not the cheapest way to get to the capital. The first Leonardo train leaves from the airport Fiumicino Aeroporto to Roma Termini at 6:38, and the last at 23:38. Check the current schedule on the official website of the railways www.trenitalia.com. Travel time 32 minutes. Read the article “How to buy a train ticket in Italy”
    Useful information: Travel time on foot from the baggage claim area (Terminal 3) to the train station is about 10-15 minutes. Keep in mind that ticket offices can be closed and you will have to buy a ticket at the machine, you will need a credit card or cash if the machine that accepts them will work.Instruction with photos how to get to Rome from Fiumicino airport.
  3. Once every half an hour, an electric train runs between Fiumincino airport and railway stations Trastevere, Ostiense and Tiburtina. The fare is 8 euros. This transport is not suitable for people who are aimed at the center of Rome, since the above stations are located on the outskirts of the city, but are perfect for those who want to stay in one of the most atmospheric and culinary areas of Trastevere or go to Tivoli. The first train leaves from the airportFiumicino Aeroporto toRoma trastevere at 5:57, and the last at 23:17.
  4. Regular bus service from the airport to the Termini and Tiburtina train stations, it makes life easier for tourists who decide to transit Rome or stay there for a few days. The fare is 4 euros.
  5. And for desserttaxi drivers, which should bring guests to the city for a fixed fee of 48 euros - this option is preferred in the most extreme case. However, you should carefully choose a taxi, the car must certainly be white, decorated with special checkers. Otherwise, you can pay exorbitantly excessively enterprising Italians. But remember that any taxi driver will want to deceive you and say that, for example, 48 euros is only to the city, and a trip around the city is considered separately. And you won’t be able to convince him, especially if you don’t speak Italian. Taxi drivers may ask for extra 3 euros for luggage.

All travelers a successful landing!

We should not perceive language as a dictionary, a list of grammatical rules, structures, although this of course takes place and it is difficult to do without it. Nevertheless, all this can be reduced to an absolutely working minimum. Well, it would seem - words. There are thousands and thousands of words in every language, but there are statistics that say that 90 percent of spoken language in any language is in 300-400 words.
