ITALY Readers's Tips - Take the train from the airport to the termini, the main rail station in Rome.From there you can easiy access the metro which has a Spanish Steps stop.

[PAST POST] You will be arriving at Rome/Roma 'Leonardo di Vinci' Airport also known as 'Fiumicino Airport', the 'Airport Code' is FCO.ww.r./content.pL3andamp;IdMen199   The Airport has 3 Terminals called A, B and C.'m going to pass on 'Terminal A' because that is rarely used by us tourists, it's for Charter flights and some Domestic flights.    The majority of international flights arrive at 'Terminal C' (extra Schengen, 'Terminal B' is mostly for domestic flights and some international flights (Schengen. For all intent and purposes Terminal C and B are the same terminal, it is just one long rectangular building.  These directions will be for taking the Airport Train to the Termini Train Station.   This train is called the 'Leonardo Express', it's a direct train and its only stop is Termini.   It takes 31min and costs 9. in 2006, this train is unaffected by any type of Rail or local transportation strikes. My directions will be from Terminal C but easy to follow from Terminal B or even Terminal A.   From Terminal B after getting your luggage, clearing Customs and walking into the main terminal you could just turn right and walk to Terminal C.   Or take the escalator or elevator outside on the sidewalk up 2 levels to the skybridge with moving walkways over to the Airport Train Station.he website below will show you what I mean.Ok so your plane lands at Terminal C either at the main terminal or its' Satellite Terminal.he Satellite Terminal is connected to the main terminal by an automated monorail that leaves every 2min (it's no big deal, it's the only way in or out: .  Your 1st obstacle is Passport Control.'ve usually gotten thru in 1025min but once it was an hour.f course if you hold an EU Passport it's a walkthru.   Next stop is the luggage carousel and to make it more interesting there is often a few flights on the same one.o more people jamming together along the belt.   After 15min I'm an Atheist praying, 30min I'm chanting and by 45min I'm looking for bugs on the floor to sacrifice to the Pagan Gods :.   If it doesn't showup walk to the far end of this hall (keep the carousels on your left to make a lost luggage claim.Now head for the Exit, just before the exit into the main Arrivals Hall you pass thru Customs which is just a walkthru. You then pass thru the security door enter into Terminal C's Arrivals Hall. NOW STOP:   The Arrivals Hall isn't very wide (~25m, to the right it ends in 50m and to the left it takes you to Terminal B.y point is everything you need is a 'stone's throw' away.     To the RIGHT 50m are 2 ATM, a wc/bathroom usually closed and 'Luggage Storage'.   To your LEFT in 20m is a Book/candy shop which I believe also sells Airport Train tickets.hen in another 20m is an ATM and farther down as you enter Terminal B there is a w. that will be open :.h
