Rome Termini Railway Station

If you want to explore Italy from Rome, then the best place to start is Rome Termini. This busy railway station serves hundreds of thousands of people every day and has connections to cities all over Italy and beyond.

Located in the heart of Rome in piazza dei Cinquecento, Rome Termini Railway Station provides the residents and visitors to Rome with access to the main railway stations in Italy and beyond. Our stylish Radisson Blu GHR Hotel, Rome is just a short car ride away from this important railway station in Rome.

You'll find the main ticket offices in the dinosaur ticketing hall, but if you would rather use a machine then head to one of the many automated ticket machines in the station. Here you can select from English and other languages, and pay by credit card. One of the most important things to note about travelling on a train in Italy is that you must validate your ticket before boarding the train. If you don't do this you could be fined up to 200 Euros. This is a straightforward task and validation machines are at on every platform. You may want to avoid travelling around some of the busier public holidays in Rome, such as Holy Week and Easter, Santi Pietro e Paolo Day on 29 June, or Feast of the Assumption on 15 August.
