Directions
From Termini station:
Alessandro Palace Hostel is located within a 5 minute walking distance from Termini train station. It's very easy to reach the hostel ! :
1. Exit Termini Station by Track No.1 (with the train tracks at your back, track No.1 is on the right hand side of the station).
2. Make a left on Via Marsala, and then take your first right down Via Vicenza.
3. Continue down Via Vicenza, until you reach #42 (on the left side of the street).
From Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci):
* Follow the signs for 'ai treni' to the platform, buy a ticket for the non-stop train to Termini (Leonardo Express). You can purchase from either the ticket window, vending machines, or tobacco store near the platform. Leonardo Express leaves every 30 minutes.
Duration: about 30 minutes
One way ticket: 11 Euros (Feb'09)
* A slightly cheaper (but slower) option is to take local train that has the final destination of either Orte or Fara Sabina. It will stop at a few small local stations heading into Rome, but IT DOES NOT stop at Termini Train Station.

IMPORTANT when you take train:
Don't forget to validate your ticket with the little orange or yellow boxes before you get on the train!

Duration: about 30-40 minutes (depends on traffic situation)
Fee: 40-45 Euros (Feb'09)
From Ciampino Airport (Usually RyanAir and Easyjet):

Ciampino airport transfers
* The blue Cotral Bus service connects Ciampino Airport to the Anagnina metro (underground) station and costs approximately.

Follow the directions "From Termini"
Duration: about 1hr-1.5hrs
