Hello Irina, <BR> <BR>At a guess, about 25 km. <BR>30 minutes by direct train to Roma Termini. <BR>Fare is 16.000 LIRE ($7) <BR>Daytime temps. in October 18-25C. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps ... <BR> <BR>Steve <BR>

I believe the precise distance is 32 kilometers, or 20 miles. The non-stop train to Termini Central Station runs daily every 30 minutes, takes 32 minutes, and costs Lire 17.000, or roughly US$ 8.00. At Termini, you connect to trains going to all parts of the country. There is also a local commuter train departing every 15 minutes, costing Lire 9.500 (US$4.50), which stops at the local train stations on the edges of the city center (Trastevere, Ostiense, Tuscolana, Tiburtina), and which in a few cases is more convenient depending upon the location of one's hotel.

Thanks! Going by taxi (I'll have huge gags since I'll be comming from 20d in UK!)would be much more expensive than going by train for two people?

Taxi will cost LIT75,000-95,000, possibly a tad less. Might be a shade more if you have a pay the small add-on for extra bags. <BR> <BR>The train, don't forget, won't get you to your hotel. You'll have to schlep the bags to the subway, a bus, or a taxi. The taxi ride will likely run under $10 for most centrally located hotels, from the Termini. <BR> <BR>The difference is likely to be less than $10, 15 at the outside. <BR> <BR>There's also a 'shuttle' service that may be able to take you directly to your hotel, and it will cost quite a bit less than the cab, and possibly even less than the train for two. <BR> <BR>See www.twenj.com/rometwob.htm#transport

Took cab to and from Rome airport this summer; took about 45 min. and cost ~$45. Worth it with lots of luggage.
