Next best station is Tiburtina, main stop for all the trains to Fiumicino Airport. Almost all the trains operating at night lead to this station located in Southwestern Roma.

  Some information about Termini Railway Station.

  • Tiburtina Railway Station is the second train station in Roma. It is very well connected with whole the city thanks to the metro station and many buses, it is placed in a quite central place, even though it is not in the city center. It is very close to the rich neighborhood around Piazza Bologna. Near the Tiburtina station, you can find the main Bus terminal that it is connecting cities nearby Roma and outside the Lazio region. Getting the Metro Line B direction Termini you can go to Roma center. You could use also Buses 649 or 492.

  • Notice that the station is just under the Tangenziale Est, one of the main motorway-rings of Roma. If you are looking for a calm place to stop in Roma an internal street near the Piazza Bologna square can be a perfect for you. From Piazza Bologna and surroundings it is easy to go to the station by foot. From Via Tiburtina it is rather harder and a bus would be better way.

  • To find some more information about trains going to and from Roma visit the
