August is when most Italians take their holidays so if you book your flights to Rome for this period, expect to see more tourists than locals. You can however sit outside eating ice cream and taking in the views. Easter can also be a fantastic time of year to visit the Vatican and churches, but the flights to Rome will be more expensive.

How to get from the airport to the city centre?
The airport is located about 26km southwest of the centre of Rome, meaning you can’t take a stroll to the centre. A popular option to travel there is the Leonardo Express. It’s the direct train that goes between the airport and the city centre every 30 minutes. You can catch the train from Termini, at track 24. You’ll need to buy a ticket and get it validated before you travel, and tickets are more expensive from the departure station than from the Termini news stand. Another option is to take one of Rome’s white taxis, they are on a fixed price which €40. The other option is to get a bus, either a regular local transport one (you can buy your tickets from any tobacco shop – Tabaccheria) which picks you up outside terminals B & C, or to jump on the Terravision shuttle bus. This is more expensive but has a direct route to the centre of Rome.
