If you’re heading to Rome on holiday or business via Ciampino Airport, transfers to your accommodation in the centre of the city will be the least of your worries. Despite it being a noisy, bustling airport handling a massive volume of inbound and outbound travellers, getting around and getting to your destination is easy if you know how! Here are a few facts about Ciampino Airport, transfers to the city proper and getting around once you're there. About the airport Rome’s oldest airport, Ciampino was built in 1918 and was its main airport until 1980, facilitating traffic of at least two millions passengers a year. The opening of the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport effectively took over the bulk of the area’s commercial passenger traffic. Traffic to this airport was mostly cargo, charter and executive flights until recent years; however, the increase in low-cost and budget flights has changed the face of travel and boosted usage of the airport. While it is not as large as Leonardo Da Vinci-Fiumicino, the popularity of Ciampino can be attributed in equal parts to the availability of lo-cost flights and its highly accessible location just nine miles south of the Rome city centre. Travellers have a variety of options when it comes to Ciampino airport transfers making travel to the Italian capital easier than ever. Getting around As there is only one terminal each for arrivals and departures, it is not hard to navigate around Ciampino Airport. Transfers in to the city or nearby accommodation can be picked up in the arrivals section and directions are clearly marked. There are some shops (although not a huge amount) and plenty of places to eat while waiting for a departing flight. Nursery facilities for those travelling with babies, and disabled toilets are located in the departures area past the security checkpoints. Getting in to the city and getting around Ciampino airport transfers can be prebooked online and this is definitely the best way to get in to the city without hassle. If you prefer taxi, it certainly isn't hard to pick one up from the rank at the airport and, although expensive, fares are regulated so you shouldn’t expect to pay much more than 30–35 euro, depending on your destination. Another popular (and lower-cost) alternative to Ciampino airport transfers by private car or bus is the railway system. Trains do not directly run to the airport proper, however, so it will still be necessary to either walk or take a bus to Casablanca Station (bus will cost approximately 1 euro). Once in the city there are buses that go directly from the Rome Termini—Rome’s main hub for buses, subways, trams, and trains—to your final destination, including other nearby local stations.
