Leonardo Express
Enjoy comfort and speedy transfer between the Fiumicino Airport and Termini Station in just 32 minutes. This pass allows you to skip any lines for tickets and unnecessary delays due to multiple stops. If you wish to leave Rome or have just arrived aboard the Leonardo Express, quickly reach the destination of your choice.
This method is the quickest alternative to all public transportation options, including lines to Florence, Bologna, Milan, Venice, and Naples/Salerno. When you land at the Airport, simply move to the station within the premise and catch the train which leaves every 15 minutes.
Rome Termini Railway Station is conveniently located in the center of the city allowing you multiple options to explore from here. You can take the exit onto Via Marsala to the right side, onto Via Giolitti to the left side, or onto Piazza Dei Cinquecento straight away.
If Rome Termini is not your final destination, it is super easy to catch a taxi or go for Metro lines A and B. You can also find options for various bus routes from this point.
Colosseum
The Glory of the Colosseum
The Colosseum is one of Italy’s most popular destinations, attracting over 5 million visitors every year. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as the epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games. A stage for gladiator fights, often including animals, the Colosseum has quite a bloody past. Step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.
Marvel at the Palatine Hill & Roman Forum
Your Colosseum ticket also includes entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Head to the Roman Forum and travel back in time as you walk along the same paths as the ancient Romans did. You’ll get a chance to witness popular sites including the Temple of Antoninus Pius, the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more. Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on an extensive archaeological site and was the chosen spot for Emperors to build their homes.
How To Avail Your Audio Guide
That’s right, your ticket comes along with a handy audio guide that will help navigate your way through the Roman attractions. Tune in to a digital audio guide from your smartphone - yes, it’s that easy. You’ll find an interactive map of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. Walk around the venues and tap on the area you’re at and listen to commentary dedicated to that spot.
You’ll receive information on how to download the audio guide on your smartphone in an email once you’ve booked your tickets.
