Ciampino International Airport (CIA)

Before the construction of Fiumicino International Airport, Rome–Ciampino International Airport G. B. Pastine, commonly known as Ciampino, served as the primary gateway to Italy’s capital. Located in the outskirts of Rome, this smaller airport now primarily handles domestic and European flights, catering to over 5 million passengers annually. As a hub for the budget airline Ryanair, Ciampino offers a more streamlined and cost-effective travel option. Visitors arriving here can expect a straightforward and efficient experience, with a focus on no-frills service and quick connections to destinations across Europe.
