Leonardo express

Non-stop trains from Roma Termini to Fiumicino Airport

Here's the complete timetable (correct as of October 2020) of the Leonardo express train. This is an express service, which means it doesn't make any intermediate stops.

Full fares

A one-way ticket costs €14, and there is only one class of service. There are no discounts if you buy both your outward and return ticket at the same time. With Trainline, you can buy Leonardo express train tickets in just a few clicks at no extra cost.

Remember, on trains from Rome to Fiumicino Airport you can use CartaFRECCIA, Trenitalia’s loyalty card that allows you to get discounts on train tickets and collect points.

Price for children

Children under 4 years old travel for free and kids between the ages of 4 and 12 can travel without paying, provided there is a fare-paying adult. That means for two children aged between 4 and 12, there must also be two adults travelling for the kids to go free.

At Roma Termini 

Leonardo express passengers can access the Leonardo express VIP Lounge at a reduced price of €10 instead of €20. It’s located between platforms 24 and 25 at Roma Termini station. The Lounge is open from 09:00 to 18:00 every day from October to April, and from 08:00 to 20:00 from May to September.

The lounge also has an info point where you can discover the best attractions to visit in Rome, book a hotel, a taxi or airport transfers.

At Fiumicino Airport

Leonardo express customers can also access I Mosaici (embarkation area D) inside the airport for a reduced rate of 20% (€24 instead of €30) and with a half-price discount for children under 12 years.

The Fast Track option available at Terminal 3 for international departures can also be purchased for €4 instead of €5 by Leonardo express passengers.

If you’re coming from Fiumicino Airport, you should sit on the left-hand side of the train to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Vatican City and the capital. If you travel on Saturday, you could even see the papal train running on the Vatican Railroad tracks, the shortest international railway in the world.

The Vatican Railway is in fact just over a kilometre long and connects the station of Roma San Pietro with the Vatican City. Only 200 metres of the railway are in Vatican territory and the railway ends in the splendid Vatican City Station built in the 1930s and used by several Popes for their trips to Italy.

If you have to travel from Roma Termini to the Airport, we suggest you sit on the right side of the train to admire Rome and the Vatican one last time.
