Airports & trains

Two airports, one wonderful destination. Fiumicino is our recommendation for most international arrivals.

FCORecommended airport

Fiumicino

Rome’s main international airport and the best option for most guests, especially those coming from the United States. A broad choice of direct and connecting international flights.

About 30–45 minutes by car to central Rome, depending on traffic; allow longer at busy times.

The Leonardo Express runs to Roma Termini in approximately 32 minutes.

Ciampino

A smaller airport mainly served by European low-cost airlines. It may be convenient for guests travelling from Sweden via another European city, depending on available flights.

About 30–45 minutes by car to central Rome, depending on traffic; allow longer at busy times.

Airport buses connect Ciampino with Roma Termini. Check current services before travelling.

Arriving by train

Trains are a convenient way to reach Rome from other Italian cities. Roma Termini is the main station; Roma Tiburtina is another major hub. High-speed services connect Rome with Florence, Bologna, Milan and Naples. Check the operators for current routes and bookings.

Where to stay in Rome

From boutique guesthouses to hotels and apartments, Rome has so much to choose from. We recommend staying centrally so you can explore on foot, enjoy the restaurants and soak up the city. These are a few neighbourhoods we love — choose the one that suits you, and book well in advance.

Our first recommendation

Trastevere

Cobblestones & lively piazzas

One of Rome’s most charming and atmospheric neighbourhoods, with beautiful cobblestone streets, lively piazzas and excellent restaurants. A wonderful area for evening walks, aperitivo and dining, conveniently near our ceremony at Santa Maria in Trastevere.

Monti

Cafés, wine bars & Roman charm

A charming, centrally located neighbourhood with excellent restaurants, wine bars, cafés and boutiques. Close to the Colosseum and other major attractions, Monti is a great base for exploring Rome.

Centro Storico

In the heart of historic Rome

The historic heart of the city, within walking distance of the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Trevi Fountain. A wonderful choice for a first visit to Rome.

Prati

A quieter, elegant city stay

Elegant and more residential, with good cafés and restaurants close to the Vatican. A slightly quieter alternative to the historic centre.

Getting around Rome

Take your time, wander a little, and let the city surprise you.

On foot

Rome is best explored on foot, with many major sights relatively close together. Bring comfortable shoes for the cobblestones, and allow time to wander.

Metro, buses & trams

Rome has three metro lines: A, B and C. Buses and trams reach beyond the metro network. ATAC Tap & Go supports contactless Visa and Mastercard on equipped services; check ATAC for coverage and current guidance.

ATAC public transport

Taxis

Official taxis are white. Use designated taxi ranks or established booking services, and avoid unofficial drivers approaching you at airports or tourist attractions.

Uber

Uber is available in Rome, though the services and vehicle categories may differ from those in the United States. Check the app for available options when you need a ride.

A few things to keep in mind

September sunshine

Early September is generally warm and sunny, often around 27–30°C during the day, though weather varies. Pack light clothing, comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen.

Arrive with time to spare

If you can, arrive on Friday 3 September or earlier to settle in before the celebrations. Leave a little flexibility for connections and unexpected delays.
