Planning the LAST heart of Italy tour for 10/27. Flying Seattle to Rome: what is best/most workable way to get from FCO to downtown, assuming hotel is there? Train from airport to centtral termini? My flight on 10/26 will most likely get there in the afternoon.
Flying home from Florence EARLY on 11/5: is cab best way to get to airport for an 0630 flight?
Carl, The quickest and easiest way to get fro FCO to Termini is the Leonardo Express (train). Travel time is 32 minutes and its not affected by traffic. There's a rail station at the airport and you can buy your ticket there (€14 PP). The L.E. is a Regionale train so DON'T forget to validate your ticket prior to boarding the train or you'll face a hefty fine which will be collected on the spot! Your tour hotel will likely be close to Termini so you can probably walk from the station. If the hotel is further afield, take a Taxi from Termini. For the trip to FLR, a Taxi is the easiest option. The airport is close to the city and as I recall the Taxis have a flat rate charge to the airport. I'd suggest asking your hotel the night prior to your flight to pre-arrange the Taxi. Have a great time on the tour!
Also, the taxi to central Rome is fixed at 48E for 1 to 4 people including luggage. Also can take a bus to Termini for 8E.
