Rome Fiumicino (FCO)

Overview: Two Active Terminals

Rome Fiumicino Airport currently operates two passenger terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Terminal 2 was permanently demolished as part of the airport's modernisation programme. Terminal 5 (formerly used for US-bound flights) was incorporated into the Terminal 3 complex. The two active terminals are connected by internal pedestrian walkways and a free inter-terminal shuttle bus (every 5–15 minutes), though they are in close enough proximity that most passengers can walk between them in approximately 10–15 minutes. The airport's train station is located between the two terminals, accessible from both.

Terminal 1 — Domestic & Schengen Flights (ITA Airways Hub)

Terminal 1 is the home base for ITA Airways and handles all domestic Italian flights plus Schengen-area European departures. It serves Gates A1 through A83. The terminal was extensively upgraded in 2021–2022 with the opening of the new Boarding Area A (sometimes called Concourse A), which added 22 new gates, advanced biometric e-gates (facial recognition check-in and boarding), expanded security processing lanes, and new retail and dining areas. The terminal has its own dedicated drop-off and pick-up zone at the front entrance.

• Airlines at Terminal 1: ITA Airways, Ryanair, easyJet, Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Air Europa, Finnair, Iberia, LOT Polish Airlines, Norwegian, SAS, TAP Air Portugal, Vueling, Transavia, Volotea, Eurowings, Bulgaria Air, Croatia Airlines, Condor, KM Malta Airlines, Air Baltic, Luxair, IcelandAir, Sky Alps, Sky Express, Smartwings, Tarom, and others
• Key alliances: Star Alliance (Lufthansa Group) partially; various European LCCs and unaffiliated carriers
• Lounges at Terminal 1: ITA Airways Hangar Lounge (Schengen, 980 m², 150 seats — ITA Airways/Lufthansa Group premium passengers only; near Boarding Area A); Plaza Premium First Lounge (T1, 700 m², 115 seats, opened December 2025, near gates A31–A52, pay-at-door €70 for 2 hours, 04:30–21:30 daily); Prima Vista Domus Lounge (Schengen, mezzanine, Priority Pass accepted, ~€40); Prima Vista T1 lounge (new, opened August 2025, 610 m², Priority Pass, ~€40)

• Mezzanine level: Additional restaurants, bars, and lounges above the main concourse on the 2nd floor

Terminal 3 — International & Non-Schengen Flights (Largest Terminal)

Terminal 3 is the larger of the two terminals and handles the bulk of long-haul and non-Schengen international departures. It serves Gates E1 through E61. Terminal 3 incorporates what was formerly Terminal 5 and has had over €250 million invested in its recent renovation. A distinctive feature is the SkyBridge — an automated people mover (APM) that shuttles passengers unidirectionally between the main Terminal 3 building and its satellite gate building (Gates E31–E44) for non-Schengen departures. The SkyBridge operates one-way only: departing passengers board it in T3 to reach satellite gates; arriving passengers use it to return to T3. It cannot be used in reverse by departing passengers who have already passed through to the satellite.

• Airlines at Terminal 3: American Airlines, Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, Korean Air, Japan Airlines (JAL), Air India, Air France, Alitalia legacy successor routes, United Airlines, Aeroflot (suspended), Turkish Airlines, EgyptAir, El Al, Royal Jordanian, Saudia, Kuwait Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, TAAG Angola, and many others
• Key alliances: All three major alliances (Star Alliance, oneworld, SkyTeam) primarily operate from Terminal 3 for non-Schengen services
• Lounges at Terminal 3: ITA Airways Piazza di Spagna Lounge (non-Schengen, premium ITA/Lufthansa Group access); Avia Lounge (pay-at-door, Priority Pass accepted, showers available); Aspire Lounge / TAV Lounge (410 m², opened 2023, Priority Pass); multiple airline-specific lounges for Alitalia legacy, Air France, etc.
• Area E Mall: The major Tax-Free shopping zone is located in Terminal 3 between Gates E and the SkyBridge. Here, non-EU residents can benefit from a 22% VAT refund on eligible purchases regardless of nationality. Luxury brands (Gucci, Prada, Armani, Michael Kors, Montblanc, Victoria's Secret, Pandora) are concentrated here.
• Baggage storage: Located in the Arrivals hall of Terminal 3
• Pharmacy: Landside, Terminal 3 departure lounge (06:00–21:00)

Connecting Between Terminals

Terminals 1 and 3 are connected landside (before security) by covered pedestrian walkways — the walk takes approximately 10–15 minutes. A free inter-terminal shuttle bus also operates between both terminals, the parking areas, and the train station every 5–15 minutes (05:00–01:00; hourly on request 01:00–05:00). Airside connection between terminals for transit passengers requires exiting security in one terminal and re-entering security in the other, so allow at least 90 minutes for connections between the two.

Getting from Rome Fiumicino Airport to the City Centre

Rome Fiumicino Airport is located 30–32 km southwest of central Rome. While the airport has no direct metro connection, it is excellently served by dedicated and regional trains, express bus shuttles, licensed taxis with fixed rates, and ride-hailing apps. The Leonardo Express train is far and away the fastest and most popular option for the city centre, but several other options offer excellent value depending on your destination in Rome.

Leonardo Express Train (Recommended — Fastest Option)

The Leonardo Express, operated by Trenitalia, is a non-stop dedicated airport train that connects Fiumicino Airport directly to Roma Termini — Rome's main railway station and the hub of the metro, bus, and regional rail networks. The journey takes exactly 32 minutes with no intermediate stops. From Termini, all of Rome is accessible via Metro lines A and B, dozens of bus routes, and the tram network.

• Ticket price: €14 per person one-way (single adult). Group of 4 tickets: €40 (saves €16 vs. individual tickets). Children under 4 travel free; children 4–11 travel free with one paying adult (Fare 1/Ter).
• Frequency: Every 15 minutes during peak hours; every 30 minutes off-peak
• First train from airport: 06:23 (approx.); Last train from airport: 23:23
• First train from Termini: 05:35; Last from Termini: 22:35
• Note: No Leonardo Express service after approximately 23:30 from the airport — plan accordingly for late-night arrivals
• The station is inside the airport complex, connected via moving walkways (allow 10–15 min walk from terminals). Follow "Treni / Stazione" signs.
• Buy tickets online at trenitalia.com or from yellow vending machines at the station. Validate before boarding (if using paper ticket). Contactless bank card tap-in is also available.
• Platforms 23–24 at Roma Termini for Leonardo Express trains

FL1 Regional Train (Budget Option — Multiple Rome Stations)

The FL1 Trenitalia regional commuter train provides a cheaper alternative, stopping at multiple stations in Rome. Unlike the Leonardo Express, it does not go to Termini — it serves Trastevere, Ostiense, Tuscolana, and Tiburtina stations, which connect to Rome's metro lines and buses. This is ideal for travellers staying in Trastevere, Testaccio, or Pigneto, as it stops closer to these neighbourhoods.

• Ticket price: approx. €6–€8 one-way (much cheaper than Leonardo Express)
• Frequency: Every 15 minutes on weekdays; every 30 minutes on weekends/holidays
• Journey times: Trastevere (~30 min), Ostiense (~33 min), Tuscolana (~38 min), Tiburtina (~48 min)
• Same platforms as Leonardo Express — check the departure board carefully to board the correct train
• Print regional tickets before boarding — do NOT try to board with an unvalidated paper ticket

Bus — Shuttle Services to Roma Termini

Several bus companies operate coaches from Fiumicino Airport directly to Roma Termini and other city locations. The most established operators are SIT Bus Shuttle and Terravision. Buses depart from outside the arrivals area and are a budget-friendly option, though journey time is traffic-dependent.

• Route: Fiumicino Airport → Roma Termini (some also stop at Vatican/Piazza Risorgimento)
• Journey time: 50–70 minutes (traffic dependent; longer during peak rush hours)
• Ticket price: approx. €7–€11 one-way; €13–€18 return (book online for best rates)
• Frequency: Roughly every 40–60 minutes throughout the day
• Night buses: Cotral regional buses run to Tiburtina Station approximately hourly through the night at approx. €5
• SIT Bus also offers direct service to the Vatican area (Piazza Risorgimento/Via Cola di Rienzo) — useful for travellers staying near St Peter's Basilica

Taxi — Official Fixed Rate

Licensed white taxis in Rome operate on a fixed official rate of €55 for journeys between Fiumicino Airport and any destination within the Aurelian Walls (Rome's historic city centre). This fixed rate was increased from €50 to €55 in July 2024 by Rome municipality order and is fixed by law — the driver cannot legitimately charge more for this route. The journey takes 35–50 minutes in normal traffic, up to 75–90 minutes during rush hour.

• Fixed rate: €55 to/from any address within the Aurelian Walls (verified July 2024+)
• For destinations outside the Aurelian Walls (suburbs, EUR, Parioli, Prati), the meter applies — expect €55–€80 depending on location
• Additional charges: night surcharge (22:00–06:00), Sundays and public holidays, large luggage (each additional bag over the standard allowance)
• The official taxi rank is located outside the Arrivals exit of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3
• Taxis are white with a "TAXI" sign, a company logo, and a "SPQR" municipality emblem — use only these official white cabs
• Warning: Unlicensed taxi touts (NCC abusivi) actively solicit passengers at the airport. Politely decline and proceed to the official taxi rank. Never get in a car with a private individual approaching you inside the terminal.

Ride-Hailing — Uber, Bolt, FREE NOW

Uber Black, Uber Green, Bolt, and FREE NOW operate at Fiumicino. These are all NCC (noleggio con conducente — licensed private hire) vehicles, not metered taxis. Designated pick-up zones are in front of the Arrivals exits. Prices are fixed at booking and displayed before you confirm.

• Uber Black to central Rome: approx. €50–€75 (premium vehicles; includes driver tip expectations)
• Bolt/FREE NOW: approx. €45–€65
• During peak summer (July–August), surge pricing can significantly increase app-based fares — the fixed taxi may be cheaper during these periods

Car Rental

All major rental companies have desks in the arrivals area of Terminal 3 (international arrivals). Available companies include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, Maggiore (National), Sixt, and several local Italian agencies. Vehicle collection is from the adjacent multi-storey rental car buildings, connected by moving walkways. The A91 Roma-Fiumicino motorway connects the airport directly to Rome's Grande Raccordo Anulare (ring road). Note: Rome's historic centre has an extensive ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) restricted traffic zone — most hotels in the centre require advance-arranged permits. Always check with your hotel before driving into central Rome.

Hotel Shuttles

Most airport-area hotels (Hilton Rome Airport, Hilton Garden Inn, Marriott Rome Airport, Comfort Inn) run complimentary shuttle services to and from the terminals at scheduled times. The Hilton Rome Airport is also walkable via covered passage. Always confirm shuttle times with your hotel before arrival — some only pick up from Terminal 1 arrivals.

Hotels Inside or Directly Connected to the Airport

Hilton Rome Airport is the only hotel at Fiumicino with a direct covered walkway and moving walkway connection to the airport terminals (Terminal 1, 2, and 3 areas) — approximately 7–10 minutes' walk. This 4-star property has 517 soundproofed rooms including 108 Executive Rooms and 15 Suites with Executive Lounge access (complimentary breakfast and refreshments all day). Facilities include an indoor heated pool, outdoor sun deck, jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath, fitness centre, children's play area, and two restaurants (Le Colonne Restaurant for buffet breakfast/lunch/dinner; Caffe Tevere Bistro for all-day food).

Transit / Sleep Facilities Inside the Airport

Fiumicino does not have a traditional airside transit hotel (unlike Amsterdam's YOTELAIR), but the airport offers several options for short rests:

• HelloSky Arrival Lounge & Day Rooms — located approximately 50 metres from the terminal, near the train station. Follow signs from the covered pedestrian bridge. Offers private day rooms and showers. Showers: €20 including towels and toiletries. Day rooms available for multi-hour rests.
• Lounge access with sleeping facilities: The ITA Airways Hangar Lounge has designated rest areas with reclining seats for premium passengers. Some Aspire/Prima Vista lounges offer quieter seating areas.
• A number of reclining seats and quiet corners are available landside throughout the terminal for passengers with valid boarding passes; overnight sleeping is possible but not officially encouraged.

Parking Overview at Rome Fiumicino Airport

All official parking at Fiumicino is managed by ADR under the brand "Easy Parking", offering approximately 19,000 spaces across multiple facilities directly adjacent to or a short shuttle ride from the terminals. Booking online in advance at adr.it significantly reduces costs. A Telepass (Italy's electronic road toll payment system) lane is available for contactless entry/exit at parking facilities. ITA Airways Volare loyalty programme members earn points for parking spend.

Terminal Multi-Storey Car Parks (A, B, C, D) — Short & Long Stay

Four multi-storey covered car parks (Parking A, B, C, D) are located directly in front of the terminals, connected by covered moving walkways. All are covered except the top floor. Parking A is closest to Terminal 1 (directly connected by lift and walkway); Parking D is recommended for Terminal 3. Together they provide approximately 3,500 covered spaces, including 74 EV charging bays (Parking B: 74 × 22kW stations for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles via the ADR E-Move Parking). The first 15 minutes in the multi-storey car parks are free.

• Parking is accessible directly from the A91 Roma-Fiumicino highway
• Maximum stay: 90 days
• Luggage trolleys available inside
• Disabled parking: Ground floor of Parking C; also in reserved spaces in front of Arrivals and Departures (free up to 2 hours with disability badge; over 2 hours use Parking C ground floor)

Long-Stay Parking (Easy Parking Lunga Sosta)

For stays of 3+ days, the Long-Stay car parks are the economical official choice. Two options: Lunga Sosta Coperto (covered, 2,000 spaces) and Lunga Sosta Scoperto (uncovered open-air, 2,100+ spaces). Both are located a short distance from the terminals and served by a free shuttle every 5 minutes (05:00–01:00; every 15 min 01:00–05:00 on request via intercom).

• Free shuttle to T1 and T3 Arrivals; on return follow signs to shuttle bus stop
• Video surveillance throughout
• Parking with Easy Parking grants: 10% discount at airport bars/restaurants and Aelia Duty Free; 15% discount at select boutiques in Boarding Area A
• Pre-booking online essential for best rates

Short-Stay Parking T1 & T3

Dedicated short-stay car parks in front of Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 are ideal for pick-ups and drop-offs of 15–60 minutes. These are a few steps from Arrivals exits.

Kiss & Go (Free Drop-Off)

A free Kiss & Go zone is provided in front of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 for rapid passenger drop-offs. These are not parking areas — stopping to load or wait is prohibited and enforced. For picking up arriving passengers, use the Short-Stay T1 or T3 car parks.

Off-Airport Private Parking

Numerous private parking operators are located within 5–10 minutes of the airport, many offering valet service (you drive to the terminal, hand keys to a driver, and the car is brought back on your return). Popular private operators include ParkingWay, AeroPark Fiumicino, KingParking, and ParkinGO. Pre-booked prices from these operators typically range from €10–€20 for 1 week — far cheaper than official ADR long-stay rates. Always book in advance online.

WiFi

Unlimited free WiFi is available throughout the entire airport — landside and airside in both terminals — via the network "AIRPORT FREE WIFI". Simply connect and accept the terms on the portal. There is no enforced time limit. Connection quality is generally good throughout the terminal; speeds are adequate for video streaming and video calls. Premium paid WiFi is not a standard feature, as the free service is widely considered sufficient. EU roaming regulations mean that travellers with EU SIM cards can use their home data plans at no extra charge within Italy.

In 2024, ADR launched the Shop&Fly digital pre-order service (shop.adr.it), allowing passengers to browse and reserve products online before arriving at the airport, with a 10% discount versus in-store prices. A Personal Shopper service, Book-a-Table, and Take Away & Fly pre-ordering are also available.

The Area E Mall (Terminal 3, Tax-Free zone) is the premium shopping area for non-EU passengers, offering a 22% VAT exemption. Luxury brands present include Gucci, Prada, Armani, Versace, Bulgari, Montblanc, Michael Kors, Pandora, and Victoria's Secret. Leonardo da Vinci's legacy is celebrated through art installations and displays of his inventions throughout the terminal — including his famous flying machine sketches and anatomical studies. A boutique selling replicas of his works is also located airside.

Dining

Both terminals offer extensive dining from casual to sit-down restaurants. Highlights include traditional Italian trattoria-style restaurants, pizza counters, espresso bars (Italian espresso standard is high throughout the airport), sushi counters, fast food (McDonald's, Burger King), and more. The mezzanine level of Terminal 1 offers higher-quality restaurant options with runway views. WHSmith bookshops are located in both the public and airside areas (T3 landside 06:00–21:00; T3 airside near gate E31 06:00–19:00). The online "Book a Table" service allows pre-reservation of airport restaurant seats via the ADR website. 24-hour dining options are limited inside the terminal; the Hilton Rome Airport hotel restaurant is the main option for very late-night meals.

Medical Facilities

Two pharmacies operate at Fiumicino: one in the landside departure hall of Terminal 1 (06:00–21:30) and one in the landside departure lounge of Terminal 3 (06:00–21:00). A medical/first aid centre is also available — airport staff can direct you or call emergency services (dial 118 for Italian medical emergencies). AEDs are positioned throughout both terminals. The nearest major hospital is the Ospedale G.B. Grassi (approx. 15 minutes by car).

Family Facilities

Fiumicino has dedicated nursery rooms for breastfeeding and nappy changing in both terminals. Children's play areas are located in the departure areas. Pink priority parking spaces near terminal entrances are reserved for families with young children and pregnant women. Family security lanes are available — look for dedicated "Family" signage or ask at information desks. Pushchairs/strollers can be taken through security and to the aircraft gate.

Accessibility — PRM Services

ADR Assistance provides comprehensive Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM) services. Request assistance through your airline at booking. Wheelchair assistance is available from car park to aircraft gate and vice versa. Sunflower Lanyard programme: Fiumicino participates in the international hidden disability scheme — passengers with non-visible disabilities can collect a free sunflower lanyard at ADR Assistance information points to indicate they may need extra patience or support from staff. Lifts and ramped access are throughout both terminals. Guide dogs are welcome.

Currency Exchange & ATMs

Multiple currency exchange desks (including Eurochange and Forexchange) are available landside in both terminals. Exchange rates are unfavourable compared to city-centre banks — for better value, use ATMs (Bancomat). ATMs accepting Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro are located in both terminals on the landside. Note: Italian ATMs use chip-and-PIN; US magnetic-stripe-only cards may not work — bring a chip card or exchange currency at home. Withdrawal limits are typically €250–€500 per transaction, up to €1,000/day depending on bank/machine. Contactless card payment (including Apple Pay and Google Pay) is accepted at virtually all airport shops, restaurants, and parking.

Luggage Storage

Baggage storage is available in the Arrivals hall of Terminal 3. Operating hours: daily. Prices: approximately €6–€9 per bag per 24 hours depending on size. This is useful for day-trippers to Rome or passengers with a long layover who wish to explore the city without their luggage.

Smoking

Smoking (including e-cigarettes and vaping) is prohibited inside all terminal buildings. Designated outdoor smoking areas are located outside the Arrivals exits of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. No airside (post-security) smoking areas exist — passengers who need to smoke must exit the building before security and re-clear security to return, which is impractical. Plan accordingly for long departures.

Prayer Rooms

Non-denominational interfaith prayer rooms are available in both terminals. Ask at information desks for current locations, as these move periodically with ongoing renovations. Prayer washing facilities are adjacent to the prayer rooms.

Showers

Public showers are available at the HelloSky Arrival Lounge & Day Rooms, located approximately 50 metres from the terminal, near the railway station — follow signs from the covered pedestrian bridge. Cost: €20 including towel and toiletries rental. Showers are also available within the ITA Airways Hangar Lounge, Plaza Premium First Lounge, Avia Lounge, and Prima Vista lounges for eligible lounge access holders.

Pets

Fiumicino has designated pet relief areas — comfortable outdoor spaces near both terminals where dogs and cats can rest and roam. Ask ADR Assistance staff for directions. Pets travelling in the cabin require an airline-approved carrier; pets travelling as cargo use the dedicated Cargo City area with animal handling facilities.

Hub Carrier

ITA Airways (Italia Trasporto Aereo) is Italy's national flag carrier and Fiumicino's dominant hub airline, operating from Terminal 1. ITA was founded in 2021 as the successor to the bankrupt Alitalia and was acquired by the Lufthansa Group. ITA is expected to formally join the Star Alliance in 2026. The airline operates extensive domestic Italian routes plus intercontinental services to North America (New York JFK, Boston, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto), South America (São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Santiago), Africa (Accra, Dakar), and the Middle East (Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait City). In 2024, ITA added Chicago, Toronto, Riyadh, Accra, Dakar, and Jeddah to its network.

Rome Fiumicino Airport — Traffic Statistics

2024 was the best year in the 64-year history of Fiumicino airport, driven by a post-pandemic surge in international travel, the continued growth of ITA Airways, expanded budget carrier operations, and Rome's position as the world's fourth most-visited city. The airport not only surpassed its pre-COVID 2019 record of 43.5 million passengers but exceeded it by 13%. Notably, 2024 also saw Fiumicino emerge as the fastest-growing major European airport, with a 21.3% year-on-year increase — far outpacing competitors like Frankfurt (+4%), Paris CDG (+2%), and Amsterdam (+8%).
