There are two main airports that service the city of Rome
and they are Fiumicino Airport and CiampinoAirport. Although Ciampino Airport
is the smallest of the two airports in Rome, it is actually the closest airport
to the city.
Ciampino Airport is located approximately 15 klms to the
South of the city, which makes transfers to and from the airport to the centre
of Rome very easy. Ciampino International Airprt, has certainly become more
popular with travellers, as it offers a cheaper option than flying into Fiumicino
Airport.

airport and they are public transport, shuttle bus services, car hire and

simply is down to personal preference and budget as to which form of transfer
you choose.

arriving at or departing from Ciampino Airport, as it offers a very affordable
way of getting to and from the airport, especially if you are travelling alone
or on a budget. There are local bus services that run at regular times
throughout the day and you can catch the buses from outside the main terminal
building.
