Da Vinci Airport, also known as Rome Airport, is about 22 km from the centre of Rome in a straight line. After landing, follow the signs for passport control, baggage collection and arrivals. Information desks can help with local directions, accessibility needs and onward transport.
Arriving at the airport and finding your way out of arrivals
Keep your travel documents available until you have cleared the required checks and collected your luggage. Once outside arrivals, look for clearly marked signs to taxi ranks, pick-up areas, public transport and hire-car desks. If you have booked a private transfer, check the meeting instructions before leaving the building and use the agreed meeting point rather than accepting an offer from someone approaching you inside.
Getting into town
A private transfer takes you directly to your accommodation and can be useful with heavy luggage, children or a late arrival. Share the full address, including the district, and keep your phone reachable in case the driver needs to contact you.
Official taxis are available from the designated rank outside arrivals. Confirm the destination before setting off and check the current airport guidance for accepted payment methods and any applicable conditions. Public transport provides connections towards Rome, but the best route depends on your accommodation and the latest service information. Check the airport before travelling for current routes, tickets, departures and any changes.
Hiring a car can suit travellers continuing beyond Rome or staying in areas where parking is available. Read the rental terms carefully, inspect the vehicle before leaving and check restricted traffic zones before driving into central districts. Rome has limited-access areas and busy streets, so a car is not always convenient for a city stay.
Popular transfers from the airport
Vatican City is about 22 km from the airport in a straight line, while Trastevere is about 20 km away. Private transfers and taxis offer direct drop-off for both areas. Public transport may work well if your accommodation is close to a suitable stop, though you may need to walk or change services with luggage. Check the exact address and the latest airport information before choosing.
Flying home
For your return journey, allow enough time to travel from your accommodation, especially during busy road conditions or if you need to return a hire car. Leave extra allowance for bag drop, security checks and finding the correct departure area. Check your booking and the airport’s current guidance before leaving Rome, then follow signs from the transport drop-off point through to departures.
