Rome Leonardo Da Vinci Airport:Tips

What's the first thing to do when you land in Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci airport?

Of course adjust your watch! But this adjustment has to be with respect to the date. That is, Italy still retains the summer and winter hour difference. So, if you land in Rome between last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October then add 2 hours to GMT (it's always the best thing to have a GMT special watch if you travel much!) but otherwise just add one hour to GMT and you're 'on time'!As many airports, there's a free shuttle service that links the terminals with the car parks. There are long-term parks for delayed passengers, or those who await them for long!After you have arrived, you should know that you still have a 26 km (around 16 miles) trip to Rome. Hopefully the traffic is fine then!
You, or the one who will be driving for you, will take the GRA road probably. This is a ring road that surrounds the whole Rome and helps a lot in reducing traffic jams.Following the Leonardo naming, the Leonardo Express train service runs from the Rome Leonardo Da Vinci airport to Rome's terminal station every half an hour.By the way, there's another name for the airport which maybe misleading if you don't know. This name is Fiumicino, so if you hear it from a local don't think it's a pasta name or something!
