Means of transport Rome

The central station of Rome was begun shortly before the Second World War, it is a modern building, close to the rationalist aesthetic of the 1930s. It houses all kinds of stores. Roma Termini serves all regional destinations (Fiumicino airport, Tivoli...) and many national and European destinations.

Luggage storage (follow the signs: deposito bagagli in Termini): located in via Giolitti.

Car rental. The main car rental companies (Europcar, Avis, Hertz...) have their counters on the Via Giolitti side.

Ryanair offers two flights a day from Beauvais-Tillé airport (so far, so near). These flights serve Ciampino airport, on the outskirts of Rome, and take an average of 2h15. To get to Beauvais airport, a paying bus service departs from Porte Maillot for ticket-holding passengers. The journey takes around 1h15. Ryanair also offers direct flights from Bordeaux, Figari, Lourdes, Marseille, Toulouse and Brussels-Charleroi or Zaventem.

Italy's railroads. Frecciarossa high-speed trains link several major Italian cities. Book in advance on the Internet to save money on these lines. To get around Rome, however, always use regional trains. They're a little slower, but often a lot cheaper! What's more, their fares don't vary according to date, but only according to kilometers traveled: so you can buy your Roma-Anzio ticket at the last minute. How convenient!

This company offers direct connections between Ciampino and Fiumicino airports and Termini station, in the heart of Rome (a bus every 40 minutes/1 hour). We strongly advise you to book on their website to ensure a seat (it's often very busy at the airport!) and benefit from their special fare. You can present your electronic or printed ticket directly when boarding the bus. The Terravision stop is in via Giolitti, 38. See the website for timetables.

Italo, the high-speed train, the result of the technological creativity of the Alstom group, which competes with the national company Trenitalia by offering competitive fares (numerous promotions on the website) and by advocating flawless punctuality. Italo offers daily connections between Rome (from Termini and Tiburtina stations) and Milan, Turin, Venice, Padua, Florence, Naples, Salerno... This can be an opportunity for a day trip, or to arrive in Italy from a city other than Rome.

Between 45 and 60 minutes.

ATAC is Rome's public transport company. Buses often run late (the fault of Rome's traffic jams!), while the metro works quite well but doesn't serve the whole city - there are only three lines. In the historic center, walk whenever possible. The ATAC website provides maps and a route planner. Applications such as Moovit are also very useful, providing real-time timetables.

The Rome bus station is located just across the street from the Roma Tiburtina train station in the northwest of the city. It can be reached by metro line B from Termini station. This is where all the main bus companies (Flixbus, Itabus...) from Italy and abroad serve Rome. From Paris, it takes about 20 hours of travel by bus to reach Rome, few trips are direct and it is often necessary to make a change in Turin or Milan. A very long trip in perspective, therefore!

Founded in 2020 to take over from Alitalia, ITA Airways is the Italian national airline. It operates direct flights to Rome from Paris (Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris Orly), Nice, Brussels and Geneva airports. We recommend that you book your tickets in advance to get competitive prices. The flight time from Paris is approximately 2 hours and from Nice 1h15. Arrival at Fiumicino airport, which is about 30 kilometers from downtown Rome.
