Rome train stations

Rome train stations: Termini Station
Termini is indubitably the main railway station in Rome. It was named after the ancient Baths of Diocletian, which can be found across the street from the main entrance of the station. The works for the building of Termini station began in 1931 and finished in 1950, it was a great success both in capability and design. Termini is also the centre of Rome's transport system. It is a rather efficient place although it is a little crowded, like all train stations. It is the largest European train station, it has been renovated in the past couple of years, and presently it is perhaps one of the most complete European station. On the other hand, watch out as Rome's pickpockets and petty thieves have their base here. So be alert all the time. Most inter-city trains and all the very fast Eurostars trains arrive here, while fewer trains, particularly the night time ones, arrive and leave from the Tiburtina and Ostiense train stations. In the largest of all Rome train stations you will find several facilities: left luggage, tourist information service, shuttle train to the airport, train information service, car rental, Exchange Office, a 24 hours "Drugstore", a shopping centre in the underground hall with 200 shops of all sorts.

Rome train stations: Ostiense Station
Roma Ostiense is a train station in Piazza dei Partigiani, serving the Ostiense district of Rome, a short distance from the Porta San Paolo. The station’s building in itself has a remarkable historical and architectural relevance, the station was built to commemorate the forthcoming visit of Adolf Hitler to Rome in 1938, with the aim of creating a monumental station to receive the German dictator. A new road was also built to connect the station with Porta San Paolo - this was initially named Via A. Hitler but, after the Second World War, it was renamed Viale delle Cave Ardeatine. The station was designed by the Italian architect, Roberto Narducci. The entire facade is made of Travertine marble and the entrance is marked by a pillared portico. On the right side of the station there is a relief by Francesco Nagni that represents the mythical figures of Bellerophon and Pegasus. This is one of Rome train stations run by the CentoStazioni arm of the Ferrovie dello Stato group and the urban rail lines FR1, FR3 and FR5 run through it. Ostiense station is linked with the Piramide Metro B station and from here you can take the Rome-Lido railway line to go to Ostia, the seaside Roman district.
