I found in this post that is possible to go from Ciampino airport to Termini.

The solution suggests this bus.

I read that it is possible to take a bus to Casabianca and then take a train to Termini.

Is this possible? Is it much more cheaper?

People with experience, what do you recommend?

As far as I know, you have two (three) options:

  • The Rome Airport Bus that connects Ciampino to Termini (the main train station)
  • Terravision which is another private airport shuttle that connects the airports passing by the center and Termini
  • The taxi (the most expensive but faster option)

Living in Rome, I have never tried one of this options. But I've seen Terravision buses quite frequently.

About Casabianca, that's a local train station outside Rome. I'm not sure where you found it, but it definitely doesn't seem to be a good choice to me. The line (Velletri-Roma) is a very low-traffic and low-quality train line, it's better to take a bus shuttle from Ciampino to Termini.

  • Casabianca was suggested by Google maps. Thanks for informing about the bus.

In addition to Simone Carletti's answer, there is also the "Bus Shuttle" operating between Ciampino Airport and Termini (see http://www.sitbusshuttle.com/en/ciampino/). It operates as a competitor to Terravision on that route.

In Ciampino airport, their ticket booth is adjacent to the one of TerraVision. Since you are asking for recommendations, I would suggest to buy a ticket to Termini from one of these booths, for whatever bus is the next one. With a ticket price of 4 Euros (one way) for any of the options, splitting up the trip into a bus and a train part is likely to be not worth the hassle.

For the trip back, you need to buy a ticket ahead of time (e.g., on TerraVision's website). Otherwise you will pay the walk-up fare of 6 Euros. You will also pay this fare if you do not visit the ticket booths at Ciampino airport, but rather walk to the bus straight.

  • Thanks. But, please, could you explain again that part about buy a ticket ahead of time? Can I buy both tickets (Ciampino-Termini and Termini-Ciampino) when I arrive at Ciampinho airport in those booths you said? In this case, I would pay 8 euros? I didn't understand that part about walk-up fare.

  • @Sigur I actually don't know if you can buy both at the same time. You can definitely buy Terravision bus trips online. But the tickets you buy online will be for a specific time - that is useful for the return trip to the airport, but a bit less useful on the way to Termini, as your plane may have a delay. By walk-up-fare, I meant what you pay when just turning up at the bus and buying a ticket immediately before entering the bus. That is a bit more expensive.
