How to Get from Rome Fiumicino Airport to the City by Train

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.

Where to Find English Books in Rome: 4 Must-Visit Bookstores

I must admit, when it comes to the number of books I read each year, I feel like I might have peaked. In 2023, I read 43 books. In 2024, that number dropped to 17, and so far in 2025, I have only read 5. It’s not that I enjoy reading any less. I have simply spent more time on other hobbies lately, which has left me with a rather sad-looking Goodreads page.

However, it is my goal to start reading more again, so I thought this would be the perfect moment to share my favourite English-language bookshops in Rome. When I first moved to Rome, I was a little afraid I wouldn't find bookstores with a good selection of English books, but over time I found some great spots.

How to Plan the Perfect Day Trip to Nettuno from Rome

This year, from what I can remember, it got real hot in Rome way earlier than last year. While I’m usually pretty good with heat, I even bought an emergency fan to keep on my desk because I was simply melting away in my room. Temperatures of 39 degrees really put the dying in studying, you know?

But of course, there is a solution for everything, and from Rome you can easily take the train for a day trip to the coast. This time I went to explore Nettuno, a beautiful coastal town close to Anzio, where I went last time.

In this blog post, I will tell you everything about why Nettuno is the perfect day trip from Rome, how to get there in a budget-friendly way by train, and how to spend your day in Nettuno.
