Ciampino Airport (CIA) is Rome's second airport, used mainly by Ryanair and Wizz Air for budget flights. It's about 15 km southeast of central Rome — closer than Fiumicino, but with fewer transport options. The cheapest way is a direct bus to Termini (€4–6), and it takes about 40 minutes. Taxis and private transfers are also available with fixed prices.

Bus from Ciampino to Rome Termini
The most popular choice. Two main shuttle operators run direct buses from Ciampino Airport to Roma Termini (the main train station), taking about 40 minutes.
- SIT Bus Shuttle: Runs every 30–60 minutes. Buses timed to meet most arrivals. Price €6 one-way. Buy at the airport exit or online at sitbusshuttle.it
- Terravision: Similar route, price €4–6 depending on how early you book. Buy online at terravision.eu for the best price. Pick-up is from the arrivals exit.
- Departure point: Both buses depart from directly outside the arrivals terminal. Look for the shuttle stop signs as you exit.
- Drop-off: Roma Termini, Via Marsala exit (opposite side from the main entrance). From Termini you can reach any part of Rome by metro, tram, or bus.
Cheapest option: Cotral bus + Metro A
For under €4 total, take the Cotral bus from Ciampino Airport to Anagnina metro station (Metro A, line end), then the metro to the centre. Anagnina to Termini takes about 25 minutes.
- Cotral bus ticket: €1.20 (buy at tabacchi in arrivals or the Cotral ticket machine)
- Rome Metro ticket: €1.50 (valid 100 min, includes bus connections)
- Total cost: ~€2.70–3.70
- Journey time: 50–60 minutes depending on metro connections
- Cotral buses run roughly every 30 minutes, less frequently late at night
Taxi from Ciampino Airport
Official taxis charge a fixed rate of €30 for journeys within the Aurelian Walls (the historic city centre, including Termini, Trastevere, Vatican, Colosseum area). For destinations outside the walls, the meter applies — ask for an estimate before you get in.
- Use only white official taxis with a taximeter and taxi licence plate
- The fixed rate of €30 applies regardless of traffic or time of day
- Luggage and extra passengers are included in the fixed rate
- Night surcharge (+€3.50) applies 22:00–06:00, but it doesn't change the fixed rate to central Rome
Tips for getting the best connection
- Book your shuttle bus in advance (Terravision) to save €2–3 vs buying at the airport
- If your flight lands late at night (after 23:00), check shuttle schedules — some operators stop running. A taxi or private transfer may be the only option.
- Ciampino is smaller and faster to clear than Fiumicino — allow 20 minutes from landing to the bus stop in normal conditions
- If you have a lot of luggage, the shuttle is easier than the Cotral bus — it goes directly to Termini without a metro change
- The official taxi rank is immediately outside arrivals. Reject anyone inside the terminal offering a taxi — these are unauthorised drivers charging much higher rates
