To get from Rome Fiumicino airport to the center of Rome, you have a number of options to choose from and I will tell you everything you need to know about each one of them. The fastest option towards the center of Rome is Leonardo express, which will take you 32 minutes from Rome airport to Termini station. It runs directly from the inside of the airport to Termini without any stops. Once you exit the train, you'll be able to connect to both metro lines A and B to get to your final destination in Rome.

Finally, for those of you who would prefer to take a taxi, there are some important things that you absolutely must know before doing Rome travel. The current price for a taxi from Fiumicino airport to the center of Rome is a fixed rate of 50 euros and you can see this price has been displayed at the taxi station as well as on the side of each taxi. But unfortunately, some taxi drivers require tourists to pay much higher price. Let's pause here for a second so I can explain better. I knew and heard so many stories of taxi drivers constantly taking advantage of tourists, so that night when I was coming back from Vienna to Rome, I decided to test it out for myself. The entire time of the trip we spoke only in English and when we arrived to the destination, I asked, excuse me, how much do I owe you? And without any hesitation, guys, the driver said 60 euros and then he got out of the car to get my luggage. Of course, I came out of the car and in Italian I said, excuse me, isn't the rate 50 euros? Without saying a word, he took the money and drove into the sunset. Guys, please be aware that the fixed rate from Fiumicino airport to Rome is 50 euros. No matter what a taxi driver is going to tell you, be it, oh, I just asked you extra for the luggage or it's 50 euros only to Rome, but to your destination it's 60 euros, etc. etc. It is false information. The fixed rate is 50 euros and no, you do not need to leave a tip unless you've got an exceptional service. All right, fabulous people, back to our taxi information. Depending on the traffic, it will take you about 40 minutes to get by taxi from this Rome airport to Rome. Just be prepared as Rome taxi drivers are a bit aggressive when it comes to driving, but of course, it's part of the experience of having a vacation in Rome.
