Getting to Rome center
Just landed — what matters first
1What’s the easiest way to get from FCO to Rome’s city center?
Use either the train (Rome–Fiumicino line) to central stations, or buses for major terminals. If you prefer direct service, choose the official taxi rank outside arrivals. For hotel transfers, book in advance. Avoid unmarked vehicles inside the airport.
2How can I get mobile data at the airport (SIM/eSIM)?
Look for mobile provider counters or kiosks in/near the arrivals area, or buy a prepaid SIM at major phone shops. For eSIM, check if your phone supports it and activate with the QR code you buy. Bring your passport if requested.
3Should I carry cash, and where can I withdraw money at FCO?
Cash is useful for small purchases. ATMs are available inside the airport—use reputable banks inside secured areas. For safety, withdraw moderate amounts and keep your card and PIN private. Avoid exchanging money with strangers.
4What are the basic steps to transit through FCO after arrival?
Follow signs to ‘Arrivals’ for immigration/customs, then collect luggage in the correct baggage carousel. If you have connecting flights, check the airport transfer desk and printed signage for terminal/gate. Allow time for passport control, even on later arrivals.
