Local train to ORTE/FARA SABINA

There is another train connecting Fiumicino airport to central Rome - when you are at the airport train station look for the train with the destination "Orte" or "Fara Sabina". Every day from 5.17am until 11.27pm. It is slower (and cheaper) because it stops at some smaller local stations along the way and does not stop at Termini. Tickets cost € 8,00.
