The basics

Ciampino (CIA) is Rome's secondary airport, used mainly by Ryanair, Wizz Air, and some charter flights. It's small — one terminal, no train station, limited facilities. 15km southeast of Rome center.

Step-by-step: bus to Termini

Exit arrivals, walk straight ahead to the bus stops (2-minute walk). Buy tickets from the kiosks or online (Terravision app, SIT Bus app). Buses depart every 20-30 minutes. The ride takes 40 minutes without traffic, up to 75 minutes in rush hour. Drops you at Via Marsala, next to Termini station.

Airport facilities

Minimal. One café, one shop, limited seating. No lounges worth paying for. WiFi is free but weak. Arrive 2 hours before departure — there's nothing to do but at least you'll make your flight. Ryanair's gate-closing policy is merciless.

💡 The €31 taxi is Ciampino's best-kept value. For 2+ people, the fixed-rate taxi (€31 total, not per person) is cheaper and faster than 2 bus tickets + metro. Split between two travelers: €15.50 each, door to door, 30 minutes. No brainer.
