Public transport from Ciampino Airport to Rome

Here is the cheapest way to get from Ciampino to Rome. Choose it only if you have enough time, as it’s the longest option.

1. Find Atral Bus

It is a local bus that leaves every 15-30 minutes. The station is just in front of the airport. It is very easy to find. If you are confused and you don’t know where to go, just ask the driver if the bus goes to Anagnina Station.

The ticket price is only 1.2 euro. You can buy it directly from the driver.

2. Go to Anagnina Station

This is the last stop of Atral Bus.

It will take about 20 minutes to get from Ciampino Airport to Anagnina Station.

If you go the other way (from Rome to Ciampino Airport), you need to find gate number 1. It is behind the car park. That is where the airport buses leave.

3. Go down to the metro

The ticket price is 1.50 euro per 100 minutes. You can buy it in the ticket machine. It accepts cash, coins, and cards.

Redline (A) of the metro is going from Anagnina Station. You can get from there directly to Cipro or Ottaviana Station (close to St Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City, Spanish stairs etc.)

It will take about 40 minutes to get from Anagnina Station to Cipro Station.
