Getting here

How to get to Via San Damaso 49

The flat is a few steps from St Peter, in a quiet residential area. Here is how to arrive from the three airports and from Termini station, with realistic times.

From Fiumicino (FCO)

Leonardo Express to Termini, then metro line A

  1. From the terminal take the Leonardo Express: direct train to Roma Termini, about 32 minutes, no intermediate stops.
  2. At Termini go down to the metro and take line A towards Battistini.
  3. Get off at Ottaviano. From there it is about a 20-minute walk, or a short bus ride towards St Peter.
  4. Alternatively taxis charge a fixed fare for the city centre: ask before getting in and only use official white taxis.

If you land late, the Leonardo Express is the most predictable choice: it also runs after 10 pm.

From Ciampino (CIA)

Bus to Termini, or bus to Anagnina plus metro line A

  1. Ciampino is small: you walk out and the shuttle buses to the city leave in front of the terminal.
  2. Easy option: direct bus to Roma Termini, about 40 minutes depending on traffic.
  3. Cheaper option: bus to Anagnina metro station, then line A towards Battistini to Ottaviano.
  4. From Ottaviano, a 20-minute walk towards St Peter.

Traffic on the Appia road can add time: if your schedule is tight, take the bus to Anagnina and the metro.

From Termini station

Metro line A to Ottaviano, then on foot

  1. Go down to the metro at Termini and take line A towards Battistini.
  2. Six stops and you are at Ottaviano: about 10 minutes.
  3. From Ottaviano walk towards St Peter, then to Via San Damaso: 20 minutes in total, flat.
  4. If you have heavy luggage, buses towards the St Peter area also stop nearby.

By car, avoid entering the centre: the restricted traffic zone is enforced and fines follow you home.

Address and map

Via San Damaso 49, 00165 Rome. Use the full address in your navigator: the street is narrow and maps sometimes confuse it with Via del Santo Uffizio, which runs parallel.

Good to know before you leave

  • Check-in is arranged with the host: tell us your actual arrival time, not the planned one.
  • Bus tickets are sold at newsstands or with the app: paying on board is not always possible.
  • Keep luggage in your hands on public transport, never unattended.
