Maybe the third will be the charm?

[luvtheships]

Thanks for the timetable and when we are just traveling with 2 or 3 it might try it

 

But realistically 55 to 65 e for a group of 4 or more with door to door service from Rome cabs with a guy waiting with your name on a sign a d cold bottled water in the van for you is incredible after a 12 red eye flight with a connection in Frankfort or Dublin. Lol

 

Oh and they help with your luggage as well

 

Sorry I'm not taking a regional train that make stops and the fast train is too expensive once you are 3 or more versus private limo

 

The trains will work when it is me and dd doing Rome just for fun by ourselves and as it should be when traveling just solo or duo

 

But when it is me dh and all the dds forget it

 

Remember penny wise.

Not to mention the very long walk and flights of stairs to navigate at the port with all the luggage to save a few bucks. The train station is not next to the dock.

It's a nice walk without luggage when you're only going to Rome for a day.

 

It sure beats an expensive tour.

 

12 Euros R/T with metro pass

The train station is at most a 15-20 minute walk at a moderate pace. IMO, that is not very long.

 

A train ticket costs around 10 Euro per person. A private car can cost up to 130 Euro. That is a savings of more than a few bucks.

 

For those who travel light, the train is a very inexpensive way to get to the port.

We've just bought tickets Termini to Civitavecchia for €9 each. We are in good physical shape and are not concerned about the walk. And that's on the fast train, taking about 40 minutes.

We stayed at the Westin Excelsior a couple of years ago in Rome and used the hotel's car service to Civitavecchia. (can't remember the name of the company) Glad we did because they told us that they are one of the few limo services to be able to drive into the port and drop you off in front of the ship. It was sprinkling when we left Rome, then raining cats and dogs at Civi. If you're dropped off at the port entrance, you have to wait for a bus. We were dropped off at the front door to the departure hall. Glad we took the car service...made the cost well worth it in our eyes.

So how exactly does a person BUY the tickets? Ahead of time? Online? At the station? We will be making the trip on a Sunday - does that matter?

And where was that sign?

Thanks!!

[CathyCruises]

Best just to buy at the newsstand inside the station. You want to ask for a BIRG ticket. Hand over your 12E and they'll hand you the ticket. Just remember to validate in the box on the platform. (This is assuming it's a port stop and you are not disembarking, in which case you only need a one way ticket)

[euro cruiser]

You cannot purchase the BIRG ticket on line, only in country.

 

The Sunday schedule is different from the weekday schedule in the photo above. There are fewer trains and at different times.

 

Sunday departures from Civitavecchia to Rome are at:

 

7:34

7:50

8:01

8:44

9:35

10:44

Do those trains also stop at Ostiense station?

Best to search directly on the Trenitalia website for trains to Roma Ostiense

Yes, all of these trains stop at Roma Ostiense. Note that the 7:50 train is an IC, on which the BIRG ticket is not valid.

This perfect exactly what I needed! Thank you. We bought our tickets for the Vatican to skip the line and plan to walk to the colosseum before heading back to the docks now I feel like this is doable.

[trip13]

Thanks, this is very helpful! Just a couple of questions - is the BIRG ticket a return ticket? and can we use it on the Metro or bus when we get to Rome? I can't find much information about the BIRG train online.

Yes the BIRG ticket is round-trip and you can use it on the metro or the buses all day long while in Rome.

One last question - I swear....

How long is the trip on the BIRG from Civitavecchia port to Roma Termini? So we know which train to catch?

Just over an hour.

trip13,

 

The BIRG ticket is good on the Regionale trains listed on the schedule but not for the Fast trains listed.

 

It's also a good idea to check out the full schedule on Trenitalia's website to see the other stops. We like to get off & connect with the Metro prior to Termini. This can save quite a bit of time, depending on your itinerary. (On the way home, we usually get on near the Vatican, but this time we wanted to be sure we had a seat, so we boarded at Termini. Just be aware that the platforms at Termini could take 7 minutes or so to walk to from the front entrance).

There is also a 7:44 train which isn't listed.... it would be my desire to catch this train assuming the port shuttle starts at 7? We're going only to Roma Ostiense station which has good connection to Metro and Roma Lido line to Ostia.

The 7:44 train is Monday - Friday only.
