Arrival information
One group transfer from the Rome Fiumicino airport to Hotel Colors in Rome will be arranged for the morning of Sunday, March 8.
Arrival flight information: Depart Toronto at 10:25PM (AZ651) on March 7th to arrive in Rome at 1:15 P.M .on the 8th.
A private coach is scheduled to arrive at 1:15 P.M. to transfer the group to the accommodations.
Navigating between Rome’s main airport and the city centre is nothing to be intimidated by! If for any reason you miss the group transfer, please let your onsite staff know you will be making your way to the hotel independently, and by which route you intend to travel, so we can estimate your time of arrival.
Getting to Hotel Colors in Rome independently:
A taxi from the Fiumicino airport in Rome to Hotel Colors will take about 35 minutes, and will cost about 40€ one-way. There will be plenty available outside of both Terminals 1,2,3, and 5. This option, while not the least expensive, is certainly the most convenient if you find yourself having to navigate from door-to-door independent of the group.
You also have the option of taking a shuttle bus into Rome city center. There are multiple options for taking the bus and we recommend familiarizing yourself with them prior to travel just in case you need to use one when you arrive in Rome. Please note that not all the shuttles have a drop-off in a convenient location close to Hotel Colors.
SIT Bus Shuttle: SIT Bus Shuttle offers a drop off location at the Vatican-Rome City Center at Via Crescenzo n.2, about a 6 minute walk from Hotel Colors. The fare is only 6€ one-way! The bus stop can be found adjacent to the exits of Terminal 3 – Arrivals, bus stall n. 1. Follow the signs at the airport saying ” Bus Station ” to reach the cluster of bus stops, and you will find SIT at stall #1! Check the bus timetables here!
Another option would be to take the FL1 regional train to the Ostiense station, and then transferring to the 23 or 49 bus line. This option would involve multiple transfers and walking, and we would’t recommend this as our first choice! You can check out the route on GoogleMaps to see for yourself!
