Independent travel is excellent with complete independence from the group program, the opportunity to stay in the places you like, but it is also associated with the need to independently get from one point to another.
Necessary
- - some cash euros in small bills and coins;
- - map of Rome.
Instructions
Step 1
International travel from Rome is carried out through the Fiumicino airport, which includes 3 terminals: Terminal A, Terminal B, Terminal C. Departures to Russia are carried out through terminals B or C. However, they are so close that the transition between them does not imply any or transport.
Step 2
The easiest way to get from anywhere in Rome at any time of the day to Fiumicino airport is to order a taxi. If you do not speak Italian or even English, you can explain to the hotel staff or the owners of the rented apartments what you need by writing down on a piece of paper the time you need a car and saying the word "taxi", as it is quite versatile.
Step 3
Calculate the departure time based on the fact that it will take you at least an hour to get there. However, depending on the time of day, you can get stuck in a traffic jam, which will significantly delay you. The cost of the trip will cost you between 50-60 euros. Despite the fact that Italian taxi drivers work on the meter, at night, on weekends and holidays, a more expensive tariff is included, so the fare may increase slightly.
Step 4
You can also get to Fiumicino airport by buses belonging to different companies and following slightly different routes. In this case, it is rational to make a choice based on your place of residence in Rome. A Cotral bus can pick you up from Tiburtina Station and from Termini Station. You can also leave Termini by comfortable SitBusShuttle buses equipped with wi-fi connection. Also, this shuttle stops near the Vatican, on Via Crescenzio.
Step 5
The fare varies depending on the method of purchasing the ticket - SitBusShuttle will cost 5 euros for a ticket bought online and 6 euros for a ticket bought locally. Cotral will cost 4.5 euros per person. However, any bus also runs the risk of getting stuck in traffic.
Step 6
In this case, the Express Leonardo train, which runs twice an hour from Termini station, has a serious advantage. The fare in it is 11 euros, but the journey will not take more than 30-35 minutes. Therefore, on it you are guaranteed to get to the airport on time.
