Finally Got a Hotel now...
 
I finally booked a hotel in Rome. It is very close to Piazza Navona. Just want to know if I'm taking the train in from the Fiumicino Aeroporto what line do I take and what is the stop?<BR>Any info is greatly appreciated.<BR>Thanks.

Why don't you ask the hotel?<BR><BR>Choo Choo

There is only one line from the airport. Follow the signs (and other travelers) to the station, buy your ticket and hop on the train. Take the train to its last stop at Termini Station. Take a cab to your hotel from there. It should cost less than 10 USD. Make sure it is a licensed cab from the cab line outside the station. Resist the people who approach you in the station.<BR><BR>Buon viaggio

Oops, cab fare should be less than 10 USD; the train fare is about 9 USD.

Whatever you do, don't take the bus fromt the train to the hotel. Notorious for pickpockets!

I took the bus with luggage and it was fast, easy and comfortable. No pickpocket concerns.

Is the bus a city bus or private? <BR>How much is it? <BR>As a New Yorker I'm not too worried about someone picketpocketing me(I don't know it's a NYC thing.)Rome will be our first stop, so I just want to get the quickest and cheapest way to the hotel so I can begin my vacation. Which is less then 2 weeks away!!!!!YEAH!!!!

ca,<BR><BR>Actually, there are 2 train lines from Fiumicino - you want the trains headed to Roma TERMINI. You will then have to cab it or take the subway.<BR><BR>I would skip the train and just take a cab or car service from the airport. These guys are consistently recommended on the forum (never tried them myself though):<BR>www.limoservicerome.com<BR>They advertise a rate of 37 EUR per car.<BR><BR>Buon viaggio!<BR>Andre
