1. From Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Tiburtina train station (Rome)

To reach the IP location (Abruzzo) from Fiumicino Airport in Rome, you will have to reach Tiburtina train station (Stazione Tiburtina in Italian) located at the eastern side of Rome, where coaches leave for either Giulianova or Alba Adriatica.

The International Airport "Rome Fiumicino" is connected to Tiburtina by local trains

• Trains run from 5.57 a.m. to 11.27 p.m. every 20 minutes
• Duration: 45 minutes
• Ticket cost is 5.50 euros.
• Please notice that using taxi from the airport to Tiburtina is very expensive (even more than 50 euros).

In order to take the train to Tiburtina after getting off your plane at Fiumicino Airport, follow the signs to the Train Station (it is located inside the airport).

From Fiumicino Airport there are two lines of trains:

• one line, which is bound for "Roma Termini" (do not take this!)
• another line (yours), which calls at Tiburtina. Please note that the trains calling at Tiburtina are actually bound for Orte or Fara Sabina, so you may find these names in the time table instead of "Stazione Tiburtina". There are ten stops after leaving the airport to reach Tiburtina.

If you happen to get to Termini Station instead of Tiburtina, just use the Underground (Metro) line B, direction Rebibbia (there are a lot of signs indicating "Linea B", "direzione Rebibbia"). Your destination is Tiburtina (only 4 stops).

Outside Tiburtina train station you will find the coach station where buses leave for Giulianova and Alba Adriatica.

The coach service connecting Rome to Giulianova/Alba Adriatica (in Abruzzo) is provided by A.R.P.A. The coaches leave from the bus station "Autostazione Tibus" located at the exit of "Tiburtina train station" (Stazione Tiburtina in Italian).

Please pay attention, because after getting out of Tiburtina train station, you will find local buses (orange buses) on your left, which you don't need to take. Instead, you will find the coach station opposite Tiburtina train station, after crossing two roads with a flyover above you; you might see the indication "Autostazione Tibus".

VERY IMPORTANT: if you are reaching Giulianova/Alba Adriatica on Monday 7 (the agreed arrival day), you don't need to read any further. There will be somebody from our staff at Tiburtina bus station (around half an hour before the departure time of your coach) to help you buy the tickets and give you further instructions on how to reach the IP location. After getting off your coach at Giulianova/Alba Adriatica somebody from the staff will still be there to help you reach the IP location.
