Travel
Rome is the capital of Italy and is located in the central west part of the country.
There are two airports in Rome, the main one is Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Fiumicino (FCO) – for international tourists.
A taxi ride from Fiumicino airport to the center costs 48 euros, and it takes about half an hour without traffic jams.
Out of the smaller airport Ciampino, expect to pay around 30 euros.
There are unofficial taxi drivers scamming tourists at both airports, so only get into an official taxi with a meter. Don’t let any of the shady hustlers at the airport exits persuade you!
You can also take the express train from the airport for 14 euros, which is another great option.
Uber is handily available all around – it’s the most convenient way to get around Rome. You can do mostly everything on foot in the city, but you’ll quickly cover a lot of miles during your time in Rome, so an Uber is not an unnecessary luxury.
