Transportation

Participants arriving by plane:

• Taxi cabs can be used to move from the Rome airport to the city Frascati. Licensed cabs are strongly advised. These cabs are white cars showing the TAXI sign on the roof - the average cost for the trip will be about 70E.
  
• The "Leonardo Express" train can be caught from Fiumicino Airport and stops to the "Roma Termini" railway station where trains to Frascati depart nearly every half hour.
  
  • From Roma Termini central railway station to the LNF:
    Use trains (FM6) directed to the "Tor Vergata" station (very close to LNF): catch the train with final destination " Frosinone" or "Cassino" and get down at the "Tor Vergata" station (the second stop starting from from Roma Termini).
    Walk out from the station and turn up-left, then walk approximately 100 meters to reach the Lab gate.
    Check the timetables because not all the trains with final destination "Frosinone" or "Cassino" stop at the Tor Vergata station.
    
  • From Roma Termini central railway station to Frascati downtown:
    Catch a train (FM4) with final destination "Frascati".
