Where do I get it from?
The Ciampino Airport is not directly connected to the city by train. For you to travel via train, you have to take a bus from Ciampino Airport (which is located outside the arrivals terminal) to Ciampino Railway Station. From there you can take a train to Roma Termini in the centre of Rome.
Convenience
The train is not that convenient since cars leave the station every 30 minutes. The absence of a direct line between the Airport and the city centre, combined with the low quality service of line 1, makes it even less convenient.
Editor’s Note
If you are on a tight budget, the train is your best option to get to the city centre. If not, consider another mode of transport as it can be quite complicated.
