Train from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Naples

If your travel plans include landing at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport (FCO) but not actually staying in Rome, then you will be relieved to know that FCO has its own dedicated train station. The Fiumicino train station is also served by Italy’s high-speed train network, so you can get to your destination quickly!

Anyone arriving at Fiumicino Airport and bound for Naples should be prepared to settle in for a trip of a couple of hours, but that option is far better than trying to drive the 150 miles (241 km). Jetlag plus navigating Italian roads isn’t a good combination when you can go by train instead and relax.
