Ciampino is Rome's second airport, used mostly by low-cost airlines, and it lies south-east of the city about 15 km from the centre along the Via Appia Nuova. Flights land in waves, so the single taxi rank and the buses to Termini fill up quickly: a pre-booked driver is waiting for you and takes you to the door.
The route at a glance
- Distance: about 15 km from the terminal to the centre of Rome (estimate from the map; the airport does not publish it).
- Driving time: usually 30 to 45 minutes, more at the morning and evening peaks.
- Drop-off: at the address you type in the form, inside the limited-traffic zone too.
- ZTL and parking: already in your fare.

Other ways from Ciampino to the centre
Buses run from the stops in front of the terminal to Termini station, with tickets sold by the operators and departures timed on the arriving flights; from Termini you still need a taxi or the metro to reach your hotel. Rome's official taxis apply a fixed fare of €40 from Ciampino to destinations inside the Aurelian Walls, paid on board. By regulation the fixed fare is per car, luggage included: agree it with the driver before leaving, as some passengers report being charged per person or extra for bags. At night and when several flights land together, taxis at the rank can be hard to find. A private transfer is booked and paid in advance, waits for your flight and takes you to the door.
