Trains from Roma

Maybe I dreamed this, but I thought ira said one time that you can catch a train from the Rome airport to a few locations in Italy besides just going in to the city itself. True? Where can you go? What is the station name?

You didn't dream it, but you got it slightly wrong.

In addition to the Leonardo Express that goes straight to Roma Termini without stopping, there are other trains that depart Fiumicino and stop at other train stations in Rome (Tiburtina, Ostiense, Trastevere, etc.), where you can sometimes connect to trains going elsewhere in Italy.

Whether this will work for you, go to Trenitalia and enter "Aeroporto Fiumicino" as point of departure and your destination. (As an example, I just tried it for Perugia; there is a connection at Roma Tiburtina).

Eloise, thanks for the info.

I tried, but keep geting a
"Error in search criteria, Nessuna soluzione en"

So, you must go into rome and connect instead of a straight shot somewhere.

Degas - 'So, you must go into rome and connect instead of a straight shot somewhere.'

Yes - unless your destination is ... Orte (- not high on most tourist's itinerary).

The Trenitalia web site should not give an error just because there is no direct train. It will give connections for a journey between any two stations in Italy. Alternatively, www.bahn.de is generally quicker at finding schedules and covers most of Europe.

Hi Degas,

It wasn't me.

Eloise is correct.

www.trenitalia.com requires exact spelling, which could be why you are getting an error message.

http://plannerint.b-rail.be/bin/quer...n?L=profi&

is more forgiving.
