  • 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!

    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. )

    • @ArtiomRomanov
      @ArtiomRomanov 10 місяців тому +4

      Yes, you must validate the paper ticket. If you bought your ticket through the app, you don't.

      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)

    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!

    • @JaredDillinghamTravel
      @JaredDillinghamTravel  5 місяців тому +1

      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?

    • @JaredDillinghamTravel
      @JaredDillinghamTravel  26 днів тому

      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

    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?

    • @ArtiomRomanov

      Taxi is 50 euros flat rate anywhere in Central Rome, bags included.

      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.
