About the destination
Rome needs little introduction: the Eternal City packs the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps into a compact, walkable centre layered with three millennia of history.

Whether you are here for a weekend break, a business trip or the start of a longer Italian journey, arriving by private transfer sets the right tone from the first minute.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the transfer from Ciampino to central Rome?+
Approximately 30 minutes (15 km) via Via Appia Nuova and Via Tuscolana. Ciampino is the closest airport to the city centre. Rush hour can add 10–15 minutes.
Is the private transfer better than the Ciampino shuttle bus?+
