TRAIN: The train Station is located at The Airport. Directions to the Station can be found in the Arrivals hall. Take The "Leonardo Express" straight to Termini Station. From the station you can take a taxi to the hotel.

TAXI: If taking a taxi, make sure it is a registered taxi. Taxis in Rome are white, have a"TAXI" sign on the roof and have a sign on the side of the car. Taxis run meters and start at a preset amount which differs by time of day. Its better to get a taxi at a taxi rank and not take a car with someone who approaches you. if you do, make sure the price is agreed upon. TAXIS in Rome now have a standard charge from the Airport into the centre of Rome, which is 40 EUROS

HOTEL TRANSFER: The Hotel will organize a car for you. It costs a little more, but the driver will be waiting for you at the Airport and the service will make your transfer to the hotel, less stressful.

WHAT TO PACK
