Fiumicino Airport FCO - Rome, Italy



Terminal 3 - this is the departure area. This is a true international airport. I didn't realize there were so many airlines.

We landed at Terminal 3 and went through customs.  It took an hour for the luggage to get to the carousel. Fiumicino is large and chaotic.

To get to RomaTermini, I took the Sit Bus at 8 euro sitting in the bus for about an hour.  It's cheaper than taking the Leonardo Express train at 14 euro but if speed is important, the express cuts the time in half.  The Sit Bus stop was outside Terminal 3, following the internal signs for the bus stop.

Termini is large and chaotic. At Termini to use the Metro subway, I bought a ticket for 1 euro at a multi-language ticket machine. It's not that easy to use but if someone shows it, which some one did, it makes it a whole lot easier.

Getting around the subway is relatively easy if you know the English alphabet. Just remember the first few letters of the Italian metro stop name and the name of the last stop of the direction you wish to head to.
