Getting to Rome
Rome is served by three airports, of which the main two are owned by Aeroporti di Roma. The intercontinental Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport is Italy's chief airport; it is more commonly known as "Fiumicino airport", as it is located within the territory of the nearby comune of Fiumicino, south-west of Rome.
The older Rome Ciampino Airport is a joint civilian and military airport; it is more commonly referred to as "Ciampino Airport", as it is located within Roman territory near the border with the comune of Ciampino, south-east of Rome.
A third airport, the Aeroporto dell'Urbe, is a small; low-traffic airport located about 6 km north of the city centre, which handles most helicopter and private flights.
Driving in Rome is an experience to be avoided so if arriving by car it's best park it and use public transport to get around. The network of buses, trams, metro and trains covers the whole city from 5.30am to midnight and night buses take over until about 5am covering the main routes.
