Rome Fiumicino (FCO)
FCO to Rome: the Leonardo Express train to Termini is about 32 minutes; after the last train it is a white taxi at a fixed fare inside the city walls — the risk is a long immigration queue, not the ride.

- Italy ↗Italy is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
- Italy ↗Historic centres are ZTL limited-traffic zones: cameras fine any unauthorised car that enters, often months later through the hire company. Park outside and walk in.
- Italy ↗Regional train tickets bought on paper must be validated in the machine on the platform before boarding; digital tickets carry a time and need no stamping.
- Italy ↗Venice charges day-visitors an access fee on selected peak days; check the city's official site if you are not sleeping there.
- Rome ↗The Colosseum, the Vatican Museums and the Borghese Gallery sell timed slots that run out days ahead in season: book on the official sites before you fix the day plan.
- Rome ↗Sampietrini cobbles and steep hotel stairs wreck large suitcases: bags go from the car or taxi to the door, never on a walk.

Before you leave the airport
- Activate your eSIM, or buy a tourist SIM at a phone shop in the city.
- Buy the Leonardo Express ticket at the machine or app before the platform; validate paper tickets.
- Open your taxi app on airport Wi-Fi and check the fixed-fare sign.
- Message your hotel if you will arrive after 22:00.
Buying the ticket, step by step
- 1Follow the train signs from arrivals to the station.
- 2Buy a Leonardo Express ticket at a machine or the Trenitalia app.
- 3At Termini, take a taxi from the rank (not from touts), or walk to the Cavour metro.
- 4After the last train, use the white-taxi rank outside arrivals.
Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Leonardo Express to Termini before the last train; a white taxi at the rank after that.
- Precision
- The train station is a covered walk from the terminals, and the taxi rank is outside arrivals (field-verify).
- Late-night threshold
- 22:00

If it breaks
- Immigration queues can pass an hour at peak times: message the hotel with your flight number before you fly.
- Use the white-taxi rank or a taxi app; decline drivers who approach you inside the hall.
- Landing after 22:00 with checked bags: book a hotel with a 24-hour desk for the first night.
