You can get from Ciampino airport (official name Rome–Ciampino International Airport “G. B. Pastine”) to Rome by bus, shuttle, train and metro, private transfer, and taxi. You can also rent a car which I wouldn’t recommend if you plan to spend most of your time in the Eternal City.

In the article below I will discuss the pros and cons of each method of transportation and which one is cheapest, fast, and more convenient.

Ciampino airport (IATA airport code CIA) is located in the town of Ciampino, a suburb of Rome, Italy, approximately 7.5 miles southeast of the city center.

Ciampino is the smaller of the two airports (Fiumicino airport is the bigger one). It primarily serves as a low-cost carrier and regional airport, handling both commercial airline traffic and military operations.

Ciampino has a single passenger terminal equipped with basic amenities like shops, cafes, and car rental services. That makes it so that you can get in and out of the airport pretty fast.

Ciampino airport mainly caters to budget airlines and charter flights. You can see a list of all airlines that fly out of Ciampino at https://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en/pax-cia-airlines.

The official website of the airport is https://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en/pax-cia-ciampino.

Ciampino is not a 24/7 airport. It is open between 4 am – 12 am. If your flight to the airport is delayed and it is scheduled to arrive after the closing hours, your airplane will be rerouted to land at another airport.

Keep that in mind when reserving a private transfer or rental car in advance and make sure that you can cancel the reservation and get a refund.

How to Get from Ciampino Airport to Rome by Bus

There are two types of bus services that operate out of Ciampino Airport – one takes you to a subway station of metro Line A and B and that’s how you can get to Rome. The other bus service  from Ciampino airport takes you to Termini Station. Both have their pros and cons.

ATAC Bus Service to Subway Stations of Metro Line A and B

The first one is operated by ATAC, which is the local public transportation company in Rome, providing bus services connecting Ciampino Airport to various parts of the city.

ATAC operates two bus lines, 520 and 720, but they don’t directly connect Ciampino Airport to Rome but to a metro/subway station.

Bus 520 connects the airport to the Cinecittà and Subaugusta metro stations (Line A). Bus 720 connects to the Laurentina metro station (Line B).

To learn more about Rome’s Metro – the three lines (A, B, and C), their stations, train schedules, and ticket fares, visit https://hubavihoteli.com/italy/rome/rome-subway/.

To get to the bus stop, after you leave the airport, continue straight ahead and the bus stop will be on your left. If you can’t find it, ask the Carabinieri outside of the airport.

The ATAC bus service is perfect for those whose accommodation is near the subway stations of Metro Line A and B.

The ticket price as of writing this article is 1.5 euros. It’s called a BIT Ticket (Biglietto Integrato a Tempo) and it’s valid for 100 minutes from the time you validate it. Once you’re at a subway/metro station, you can transfer to Metro Line A or B without needing a new ticket, as long as you’re within the 100-minute window.

Just make sure to validate your ticket when you first board the bus. When you transfer to the metro, you’ll need to insert the same ticket at the metro turnstile for access.

The BIT ticket must be purchased prior to boarding the bus (bus drivers don’t sell tickets). ATAC tickets can be purchased from the yellow and blue vending machines with the ATAC logo on them inside Ciampino Airport.

These private bus services operate every day, from Monday to Sunday.
Tickets can be purchased on line, at the authorized agents located in the Arrival Terminal or on board the bus.
