How do I get from the airport to the city in Rome?

Rome has two airports, and the answer differs for each. From Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci), the Leonardo Express train runs directly to Roma Termini every 30 minutes, takes 32 minutes, and costs €14; buy tickets at the station or online. If you're staying near Trastevere, Ostiense, or Tuscolana, the slower FL1 regional train stops at those stations for around €8 and is often the smarter choice. Taxis from Fiumicino to anywhere within the Aurelian Walls are a fixed €50, and that rate is legitimate — confirm it before you get in. From Ciampino, the city's smaller airport, there's no direct train; Terravision and SIT Bus Shuttle both run coaches to Termini for around €6-7, taking 40-50 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-share apps like Uber operate in Rome but are consistently more expensive than the fixed taxi rate from either airport.
