Transportation

Participants arriving by plane:

  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 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.
