Thanks for these walking directions from Termini! I was having trouble identifying the best route for navigating the intersections in front of the station.
We'll be arriving shortly after dusk, though, so I'm now thinking that a car might be our best way to arrive with luggage.
Would it be best to just take a private car from FCO instead of coming in on the Leonardo Express? (2 adults with manageable luggage.)
Does anyone have experience with a private car to/from Termini? Any different than taking a taxi? Even if we don't arrive from FCO through Termini, we will definitely be departing Termini after our stay.
On the
hotel's website, it seems like odd pricing for a private car from Termini. Is it correct? If a Mercedes E Class is 70 EUR for this very short ride, what piece of junk is just 8 EUR?
Taxi
* Fee: 8 EUR
Private Car Transfer
* Fee: 8 EUR; Mercedes E Class (2/3 passengers - 70 EUR), Mercedes S Class (2/3 passengers - 120 EUR), Mercedes V Class (6/7 passengers - 95 EUR). Between 10pm and 7am, a night charge of 20% will be added to the price.
Also, upon our arrival, we will probably want just a
light and inexpensive dinner nearby. Any recommendations for something relatively quick?
