Getting Here and Around Rome

In the heart of the eternal city of Rome lie the Spanish Steps and by them, the Spanish Steps Suites – exclusive accommodation for those wanting to make the trip of a lifetime as romantic as possible. The historical centre is all around us, though in a city nearly 3000 years old, one tends to find the historical centre covers rather a lot of ground. Here at Spanish Steps Suites we’ve provided one or two tips.

Getting to the Spanish Steps Suites

Airport Transfer

We’d be delighted to meet you at the airport. Check our Booking Extras for the current price of an airport transfer in the comfort and luxury of a chauffer-driven car or limousine. We’ll even give you a little bit of a tour as we tackle the infamous traffic of the city and our prices, like our room rates, are very competitive!

Going it alone

Take the Leonardo Express Train from Leonardo da Vinci (FCO) Airport
or
the Terravision shuttle Bus from Ciampino (CIA) Airport
to
Termini Central Train Station.
From here, take the Metro Line A to Spagna.

Check-in for both properties of the Spanish Steps Suites is at Via Babuino, number 127, about 100 metres from the Metro Station. Print out the map at the bottom of the page to help you.

Check in is usually between 2 and 7pm, please let us know if you’re arriving later.

A taxi from Leonardo da Vinci Airport costs € 40 fixed price – make sure your driver ‘remembers’ this before you get in.

A taxi from Ciampino Airport costs € 30 fixed price – make very sure your driver ‘remembers’ this before you get in, as taxi drivers here are notorious.

A taxi from Termini Station should cost no more than about € 10.
