What are the main Rome airports, and how do I get from them to central Rome?
Although Rome has two airports, the main one is Rome Fiumicino, sometimes known as the Leonardo da Vinci airport. The other, Rome Ciampino, is mostly for regional flights; while Fiumicino handles most of the international traffic.
Fiumicino / FCO : SThis is the primary international airport in Rome, which is probably where you’ll be flying into from Australia. From the airport, you can easily hop on the Leonardo Express train to travel directly into the city center. The train takes about 30 minutes to go from the airport to Termini Station and it costs about €14. Just buy a ticket upon landing at any Trenitalia kiosk. You can also take a taxi—there’s a flat rate of €48 (about 75AUD).

Exploring Rome on a student budget
While Rome isn’t the cheapest city in Europe, it can easily be explored on a student budget. Some sights have a price tag attached (the Colosseum, for example) but there’s also lots of places that are free to visit or have student discounts. Our favorite can’t-miss free spots include the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish steps and the Villa Borghese gardens. There’s also lots of cheap and student accommodations in Rome, including hostels which can save you a lot of money and help you meet fellow travellers as well. Don’t be afraid to stay outside of the city center a bit—it’s considerably cheaper and the extensive subway system is pretty cheap.
