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 Trastevere in Rome independently:

A taxi from the Fiumicino airport in Rome 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 may have a convenient drop-off location in Trastevere.

Another good option would be to take the FL1 regional train to the Trastevere train station. You can access the train station from Terminal 3 in the airport. This option would cost you about 8€  and you can buy a ticket at a kiosk at the platform. Check out the exact route to your student apartment on GoogleMaps to see for yourself, because it would also involve some walking from the Trastevere station!
