Italy Airports
There are dozens of airports in Italy and getting to any part of the country from abroad is straightforward.
Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, or Fiumicino as it is known locally, receives carriers from many world destinations and it is the country’s premier airport. Lying southwest of Rome, da Vinci has three terminals (A, B and C) serving domestic flights, domestic and international, and international flights respectively. The Leonardo Express direct train provides links to Stazione Termini, while buses also serve the city.
Milan Malpensa International Airport serves northern Italy with flights from all over Europe and the US. Malpensa handles the overspill from Milan Linate International Airport, but it is located a fair distance from the city centre, although good train and bus connections to the city run throughout the day. The two terminals at Malpensa are connected by shuttle bus.
Trieste International Airport serves the northeast of Italy and tourists often fly here for visits to Venice as well as for Slovenia and Croatia. Over a million passengers now use Trieste Airport each year and the single terminal handles both domestic and international arrivals and departures. Shuttles and taxis regularly run to Trieste, from where buses and trains go farther afield.
Palermo International Airport resides on the northern coast of the southern island of Sicily and is the main air hub for the island. There is one modern and well-equipped terminal that handles international and domestic traffic, while public transport to the city is provided by buses.
