City FactsPerhaps one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Rome is exhilarating to both the first-time visitor and the seasoned traveler. Come revel in its majestic antiquity, lovely piazzas and thrilling street life. Rome's 2,700 years of history are laid open with every step. Ancient Rome rubs shoulders with the medieval, the modern runs into the Renaissance, and the result is like nothing so much as an open-air museum, a city that glories in its glories and is a monument to itself. Ancient Romans, Vandals, Popes and the Borgias, Michelangelo and Bernini, Napoléon, and Mussolini all left their physical, cultural, and spiritual marks on the city. AirportsMost international flights and all domestic flights arrive at Aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci (FCO), also known as Fiumicino. (30 km/19 mi southwest of Rome, PHONE: 06/6595-3640, www.adr.it) Ground Transportation
From the Airport: By Shuttle Bus Airport Connection Services (PHONE: 06/338-3221) operates an "airport shuttle" service by private car that will pick you up at your hotel and take you to Fiumicino for a set fee of EUR17, with no extra for baggage and major credit cards accepted. You must book one day in advance, and a minimum of two passengers is required. (If you're alone, you make your request and then call back later to confirm that a second party has booked and the car will make the trip.) The shuttle runs from 7 AM to 7 PM. By Train To reach downtown Rome from Fiumicino Airport, you have a choice of two trains. Ask at the airport (at APT or train information counters) which takes you closest to your hotel. The nonstop Airport-Termini express (marked "FS" and run by the state railway) takes you directly to Track 22 at Stazione Termini, Rome's main train station, which is well served by taxis and is the hub of Metro and bus lines. The ride to Termini takes 30 minutes; departures are hourly, beginning at 7:50 AM from the airport, with a final departure at 10:05 PM. Tickets cost EUR7.75. About the town: Rome's integrated Metrebus transportation system includes buses and trams (ATAC), Metro and suburban trains and buses (COTRAL), and some other suburban trains run by the state railways (FS). A ticket valid for 75 minutes on any combination of buses and trams and one entrance to the Metro costs EUR.77. You are supposed to date-stamp your ticket when you board the first vehicle, stamping it again when boarding for the last time within 75 minutes (the important thing is to stamp it the first time).
