Rome Fiumicino: 32 minutes to Termini

The Leonardo Express links Rome Fiumicino to Roma Termini in 32 minutes with no intermediate stops, leaves every 15 minutes and costs 14.00 euro one way (2026).

First train, last train, and the price list

Departures from Termini run from 4:50 am to 11:05 pm (04:50 to 23:05 on Italian boards); from Fiumicino they run from 5:38 am to 11:27 pm (05:38 to 23:27). In a few time bands the interval widens from 15 to 30 minutes.

Prices in euros: 14.00 for a single ride, 40.00 for a mini-group of 4 tickets, 115.00¹ for a carnet of 10 rides (2026). Contactless TAP&TAP payment is active on the platforms, so a card gets you through the gate without a paper ticket.

Children under 4 travel free, and each paying adult can bring one child aged 4 to 12 free.

The FL1 regional line: a gap we are not filling

The FL1 regional trains serve the airport too, and they do not call at Termini: their Rome stops are Trastevere, Ostiense and Tiburtina. Fares and journey times for that line could not be confirmed on a primary source, so this page prints none of them. Check trenitalia.com for your date before you plan around it.

Fiumicino, in figures

Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" (IATA FCO, ICAO LIRF) is the busiest airport in Italy, with 51,306,744² passengers in 2025, 4.3% more than in 2024. The operator is Aeroporti di Roma.

Press reports quote a slightly lower figure for the same airport, citing ENAC. That is a different counting perimeter, not a correction: the number above comes from the operator data collected by Assaeroporti.

Ciampino, Rome's second code

Rome Ciampino "Giovan Battista Pastine" (IATA CIA, ICAO LIRA) recorded 3,987,517³ passengers in 2025, up 3.3%, which puts it 16th nationally. It is run by Aeroporti di Roma, like Fiumicino.

Ciampino has no rail link of its own in our verified fact set, and no bus fare we can confirm, so this page publishes neither. Budget for the transfer separately and buy from the operator, not from a stand in the arrivals hall.

Before you book a dawn flight

The earliest Leonardo Express leaves Termini at 4:50 am and takes 32 minutes, so the first rail arrival at the airport is 5:22 am. Nothing on this line runs earlier.

For a flight that needs you at the desk before that, a taxi is the only way in. The fixed airport taxi fares quoted all over the internet are not verified here, so agree the amount before the car moves.
