Arriving in Rome
Lux of the Vatican is 21.0 km from Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO), where the Leonardo Express train runs non-stop to Roma Termini. Rome Ciampino Airport (CIA) is closer at 16.9 km. The nearest intercity station is Roma Termini, about 4.3 km away. Rome operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. No parking is listed here, so check where to leave a car before driving into the centre. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
