Travelling to/from central Rome is quick and easy.

Airport taxi prices vary depending on traffic conditions, an average journey of 30-40 minutes will cost approximately €50.

Flaminio Stadium
Flaminio is a single tier, all seated stadium situated in the northern part of the city, close to the Olympic Village. Traditionally the roads surrounding the stadium are blocked to traffic for major sporting events. Public transport will get you close - the Flaminio underground station is located just a short walk from the stadium.
