Arrival & Transportation

Arrival & Transportation

Wherever you choose to stay, you will be arriving into Fiumicino or Ciampino Airport.  Below, we have outlined the different options for getting from each airport to either the centre of Rome or the centre of Frascati.

The thrill seekers amongst you will be aware that the most adrenalin-pumping method to get around Italy is in your own car. It is really easy to rent a car for the duration of your stay from the airport.

Don’t be concerned about remembering which side of the road to be on when driving, as most Italians choose to point their automobiles right down the middle.

But, if you’re not feeling brave…

Staying in Frascati

Taxis 

To and from Frascati are, as a rough guide: €60 for Fiumicino and €45 from Ciampino depending upon number of passengers and luggage. WARNING: always use "official" white or yellow taxi with the "taxi" sign on the car to avoid any unnecessary surcharge. If you arrive in the evening we suggest the use of a taxi.

 From Fiumicino:

If you are coming from Fiumicino and, again, want to avoid a cab fare, Frascati is easily reached by train from Rome’s Termini railway station.  Go to the railway station located in front of the upper level of the terminal and take the non-stop train "Leonardo da Vinci" to the ROMA-TERMINI Station. Fare is about 14 euros and tickets are available at the airport station.Departures are scheduled from 6.36 to 23.36. Or catch a "TERRAVISION" bus for Roma Termini station, fare is 4 Euros: www.terravision.eu/rome_fiumicino.html

The Rome – Frascati line runs once an hour on Monday-Saturday and once every two hours on Sundays. The endearingly rickety ride, complete with beautiful scenery, takes just 25 minutes and lands you right in the centre of Frascati. From there, you will be walking distance or a short cab ride away from all the accommodation, restaurants and amenities we have listed on the blog.
