Discover the city with us
Rome is a city you can start exploring the moment you step off the train. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Trevi Fountain are all within reach of the city centre, and Rome is also one of the easiest places in Italy to arrive by rail. You’ll find three Rome train stations on Rail Ninja: Roma Termini, Roma Tiburtina and Roma Ostiense. Roma Termini station is right in the centre, and most high-speed, Intercity and regional trains use it, so for many trips it’s where your stay begins. Tiburtina is northeast of the centre, and Ostiense is in the south, next to the Pyramid of Cestius. Before you travel, check which station is printed on your ticket. Flying in? Fiumicino Airport is reachable by train from 32 m, with 105 trains a day. The Leonardo Express runs non-stop between the airport and Rome Termini about every 15 minutes, so you can get from the Rome airport to the train station in about half an hour with no need to book a seat. If you arrive before you can check in, or have a few hours before your next train, you can use the luggage storage at Rome Termini on the station’s lower level. If you’d rather stay close to your train, several 4-star hotels near Termini station are a few minutes’ walk away. Once you’re in the city, the Rome metro takes over. Termini is served by metro lines A and B, Tiburtina by line B, and Ostiense by Piramide station on line B. From Termini you can ride straight towards the sights, and the other two stations are only a few stops away on line B, so it’s easy to get to the right station even if your train leaves from somewhere other than where you arrived.
