Airports
Rome has two major airports, Leonardo da Vinci - still frequently known by its old name, Fiumicino - for scheduled flights and Ciampino which handles mainly charter flights and business aviation.

1) FIUMICINO: it is the most important airport in Rome, and it is 30 km far from the city center. It is linked to Roma Termini Station (platform n. 22) by a train system. The journey takes about 30 minutes, and the fare is about € 7. Trains from the airport to Roma Termini Station leave from 8.00 a.m. to 10.07 p.m., with a frequency of 30 minutes, while trains from Roma Termini Station to Fiumicino airport leave from 6.50 a.m. to 9.20 p.m., with a frequency of 30 minutes. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines located inside Domestic and International Arrival Halls and at the railway stations, as well as from any ticket office. Should you need to reach the city center at night, there is a night bus from the airport to Roma Termini Station or Roma Tiburtina Station.
A piece of advice: it is also possible to reach Roma Tiburtina Station taking the train to Orte or Fara Sabina from the airport: this train is a little slow, but the fare is very cheap. You can also travel to the city center by taxi, although this is a more expensive means, and it will cost you about € 35.

2) CIAMPINO: it is 15 km far from the city center, to which it is connected through Via Appia Nuova. From Ciampino airport, you can travel to the city center by taxi (the fare is about € 30) or you can take the blue bus (Cotral) to Anagnina Metro Station and travel by metro to Roma Termini Station. Unfortunately there is no night bus connection downtown from Ciampino airport.

Trains
Within the central area of Rome there are six key interchange stations (Flaminio, Trastevere, Ostiense, Termini, Tiburtina and Tuscolana), integrated with the metro, bus and tram services.
If you travel to Rome by train you will probably get off at Termini Train Station. Once you have got off the train, the exit gate close to platform n. 1 will lead you to Via Marsala, while the exit gate close to platform n. 22 will lead you to Via Giolitti; the main entrance will lead you to Piazza dei Cinquecento, where you will find buses and the metro lines “A” and “B”.
Tourist information will be available inside the Station and in Piazza dei Cinquecento.
In case you get off at Tiburtina Train Station, it will be easy to reach Termini Station by bus or by metro.

Buses and trams
The city is served by 238 bus routes and 7 tram routes which operate from 05.30 to 24.00. Night bus services comprise 27 routes operating from 00,10 to 05,30. You will find information on routes and timetables at www.atac.roma.it.
The following pages will provide you with useful information on how to reach the University of Rome Tor Vergata; you will also fins maps showing the metro routes.

Underground
Rome's underground system is made up of two separate lines that intersect at Termini, the main train station. Both lines run from 5:30 am to 11.30 p.m., with a frequency of 5 minutes.
Line A - Links the area of Cinecittà-Quadraro in the south-east of the city with Termini rail station, the historic centre of Rome and the area of Prati to the west.
Line B - Links the EUR area to the south of the city with the Basilica San Paolo, the Coliseum and the rail stations of Ostiense, Termini and Tiburtina. The Line B route ends in Rebibbia.

Metro and bus tickets
The integrated metro and bus ticket - Metrebus - provides you with the freedom of using all the modes of public transport within the metropolitan area of Rome excluding the direct rail link Termini - Fiumicino Airport. Tickets must be bought before the commencement of your journey from any Metro station, authorised vendor (newsagents, tobacconists) and automatic ticket machines.
IMPORTANT: During your journey a ticket inspector may ask you to show your ticket. Passengers who do not have a valid ticket are liable to pay a fine of 25 €.
In the following pages you will find a presentation of the different types of tickets and students discounts.

Taxi:
Licensed taxis are white or yellow, have a name, an identification number, and are equipped with a taxi-meter. Do not trust people who approach you offering private taxi service. Travelling by taxi is convenient if you can share the cost of the ride with other passengers, since fares are quite heavy. For example the taxi journey from Fiumicino airport to the city centre is about € 35. Taxis in Rome are available on a 24 hours basis. In addition to the main taxi-ranks of the airport and of Termini station, there are a lot of taxi-ranks in the city centre (for example Largo Argentina). An additional cost is charged for night service, luggage, feast-days, journeys to and from the airports. Please, remember that in case you call a taxi on the phone, the taxi-meter is turned on when the taxi picks up the call. In the following pages you will find more information on the main taxi-ranks of the city.

Renting a car
If you wish to rent a car, you must be aged 21 (23 for some renting companies) and have a driving licence. It is much easier to rent a car if you have a credit card. Please, do not forget to pay attention to what is actually included in the renting fare (unlimited kilometres coverage, taxes, insurance).

Renting a bike, motorbike or a moped
One of the best ways to wander around the city centre is renting a bicycle. There is plenty of places where you can do it, along the River Tiber banks and in the north and in south of the city.
When renting a motorbike or a moped, a helmet, glasses and a padlock and chain are usually included. Most renting companies usually provide assistance for possible breakdowns during working hours. Please, remember that you will be asked to leave a deposit, cash or by credit card, to rent a bike, motorbike or moped.
