Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino (FCO): Fiumicino is Rome’s main international airport. Take the Leonardo Express train to Roma Termini (approx. 32 minutes, €14) then change to the regional FL3 line or regional trains toward Viterbo and get off at Cesano di Roma station (journey from Termini to Cesano ~35-45 minutes on regional services; single regional tickets are inexpensive - typically a couple of euros).\n\nCiampino-G. B. Pastine (CIA): Ciampino is closer for low-cost carriers. From Ciampino airport take a direct bus (Terravision, SITBus or other operators) to Roma Termini (about 30-45 minutes; fares commonly €4-€6) and then transfer to the FL3 regional train to Cesano di Roma, or use the local train from Ciampino station to Termini and onward.
Train: Cesano di Roma is served by the FL3 regional line (Roma-Viterbo), with trains connecting to Roma Termini and other suburban stations. Regional tickets are low-cost (usually a few euros) and journey times to central Rome are roughly 35-45 minutes depending on the service.\n\nBus: Regional buses (Cotral) and local ATAC services connect Cesano with neighbouring towns and with Rome’s peripheral stations; Cotral runs routes across the province of Rome for commuter and regional travel.
