As an international student in Rome, you might guess that I’m at the airport quite regularly, at least four times a year. While I obviously haven’t travelled everywhere yet, Fiumicino Airport is so far my favourite place to land. From there, it’s just so simple to get to the city centre that I never have to stress or worry about it anymore. Because I’d love for you to have as stress-free a visit to Rome as possible, in this blog post I’ll explain how to get from Rome Fiumicino Airport to the city centre by train. It’s cheap, simple, and quick, and with this information, you can do it too.

I noticed that I put off writing this article for a while because, while it’s a useful topic, public transport in Rome is sort of a hot topic. By "hot topic," I mean that almost everyone I know in Rome is always complaining about it (to put it lightly). And yes, while you’ll lose your sanity with the millionth sciopero (strike) a month, in general, the public transport system is actually, pretty good?

In this blog post, I will explain in a beginner-friendly way how to use Rome’s public transport system. This will cover the metro, buses, ticketing, and my best tips for navigating public transport. After reading this article, you’ll be well-equipped to travel around Rome with ease.
