The Rome Airport Train Station: How to Use the Leonardo Express
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This is an easy guide to follow on how to use Rome's airport train station to get from FCO into the city of Rome.
The Leonardo Express will get you from Rome's airport on a nice, clean train into the city for 14 Euros. The train ride is about 30 minutes.
For most passengers departing from Rome's airport train station, you'll likely head to the Roma Termini station in Rome.
While it can be stressful and confusing to find your way out of an airport in a foreign city, Rome's Leonardo di Vinci International Airport (Fiumucino) makes it very easy!

Thanks for this video! I was stressing about how to catch the train once I arrive in Rome. This video relieved me of stress greatly. Luckily, my Airbnb rental is a stone's throw from Termini Station. So I will be taking the train from FCO straight to Termini. Once again, THANKS!
Glad it helped - have a great trip!
This vid deserves much more likes and views. 2 mins and explains so much better than 10 min vids.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Not really. He didn't tell you that paper tickets must be validated before boarding.
Outstanding! Keep up the good work. Going to Italy soon, and these videos are super-helpful.
Love to hear it - enjoy your trip!!
Great insight ! Nice to have perspective when entering a place that can appear so chaotic.
They definitely make it easy!
Very good and to the point, keep it up. Thanks for not stretching the video out with nonsense filler info
Glad it was helpful!
Huge thanks!
Enjoy your trip!
Thank you for this. Im going on oct and I need all the prep I can take. I been thinking to take the train to civitavechia also.
You'll find all of the trains very easy to use!
Thank you sooooo much!!
Enjoy your trip!
I've seen that you need to validate before boarding or get a 50 Euro fine?
Yes, exactly.
Have a trip coming up and looks like I have no reason to worry! Looks very streamlined.
Have fun!
Don't forget to validate your ticket before boarding.
Hi Jared, thanks for doing this. You scanned QR code on the paper ticket to go through the turnstiles. But after this, do we need to validate the ticket at the green standing machine before boarding the train? (You walked past the machine. )
Yes, you must validate the paper ticket. If you bought your ticket through the app, you don't.
@@ArtiomRomanov grazie!
Thank you for the helpful video especially for tourist like me first time flying into Rome..( hopefully)
Can I buy the train ticket with cash at the machine or counter if I don't have a credit card?
You can use cash at the counter ... but credit cards are always good to travel with (as long as they don't have high foreign transaction fees)
Thank you for the info..I don't have a credit card only debit card with visa..Its useful in my own country in Asia but not sure if its usable in Italy..
Hi, If I buy the ticket online, can I take any train, no matter what time I booked? Would you rather book online or buy on site at the train station?
Hi! Do you know if you can pay directly at the turnstile using tap and pay / apple pay / google pay?
Once you got your ticket, how long did you wait between the time you got the ticket and the time you got on the train? I have a connection in Roma Termini that leaves just before noon, and I'm scared that even if I get to Fiumicino at 9:30am I'm somehow going to miss my connection from Rome to Siena. I'm kind of a neurotic traveler though!
You'll be fine! The trains run constantly. Unless there's a flight issue or backup at passport control, your timing should work nicely!
Is Piazza Di Spagna in walking distance once you get to Roma Termini?
It depends on what you consider walking distance. Most of the touristy spots in Rome are within walking distance. If I had luggage, I'd take a car from Termini to Spagna
Do you have to validate your Leonardo Express ticket on the little machine before you board the train?
Do we have to validate our tickets on the green machine?
Hi, I found a comment on Trip Advisor saying that we'd need to stamp our tickets, else get a €50 fine. Is that even real? it was real but not anymore?
Can you also use line C?
You dont need to validate it in the green machine?
yes you do
Does anyone know how this compares in price to taking a taxi (for two people). Our hotel is near Trevi Fountain, so that would be LEONARDO EXPRESS x 2 = 28 euros. Then Metro x 2 = 6 Euros. So about 35 euros. How much would a taxi or UBER be for the same journey?
Taxi is 50 euros flat rate anywhere in Central Rome, bags included.
So annoying that 4 tickets it's cheaper than 3 but it won't let me book 4 for 2 adults 3 children!
Don't you have to validate it??
Yes.
Italian pronunciation isn't exactly you strong suit, is it? 😄
Same with French, Spanish, etc etc etc ... but as long a the information is good 🙌🙌
@@JaredDillinghamTravel Yes, but pronouncing “Termini”, “Spagna” etc. like that doesn't help if one has to ask about them or to recognise an announcement... 🤔
I'd rather have someone provide this info like this, with a few mispronunciations, than be stood like a deer in headlights in a busy airport, after a long journey, not being able to understand anything. We're adults, we can work out what he's saying - and he did show you it written down on the signboards throughout the video.
@@RJMCTV the information provided in the video will potentially cause you a fine of 50 euro. Because you must validate your paper ticket before boarding. You don't have to if you bought your ticket in the app, no mention of that either.
