Leaving the Fiera Rome

If you’re not taking a bus or taxi directly to your end destination, the easiest (and cheapest) option is to take the train from the Fiera Roma to the city centre and then carry on by metro, bus or taxi.  FL1 Regional train tickets are just €1.00.  Board the FL1 Regional Train (direction Orte or Fara Sabina) from Fiera di Roma and get off at Ostiense. Cross over the walkway to Piramide Station and use your complimentary AIBCA Metro Train Ticket to continue on any Metro line toward your destination.

For  public buses: the closest bus stop is Eiffel / Fiera di Roma – both within a short walking distance.

ATAC Bus Lines: 808, 089, 701, and 701L. 

COTRAL Bus Lines: Stops F11043, F11044, and 4596.

Reputable taxi apps include Uber, FREENOW, itTaxi, and appTaxi.
