Italy Airports

Italy is loaded with treasures, from the great art capitals of Florence and Naples to the beautiful churches of Rome and the high fashion centre of Milan, not to mention the natural gems of the mighty Dolomite Mountains, Mount Vesuvius and the rolling hills of the great wine regions of Tuscany. It is not hard to see why Italy is one of the world's most heavily visited countries and it is for this reason Italy has many international airports.

With the country's decent rail and road network, travel within Italy is fairly easy and flying between cities is convenient. There are dozens of airports in Italy and getting to any part of the country from abroad is straightforward.

Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport

Known locally as Fiumicino, this airport receives carriers from many world destinations and it is the country's premier airport. Lying southwest of Rome, da Vinci has three terminals (A, B and C) serving domestic flights, domestic and international, and international flights respectively. The Leonardo Express direct train provides links to Stazione Termini, while buses also serve the city.

Milan Malpensa International Airport

This airport serves northern Italy with flights from all over Europe and the US. Malpensa handles the overspill from Milan Linate International Airport, but it is located a fair distance from the city centre, although good train and bus connections to the city run throughout the day. The two terminals at Malpensa are connected by shuttle bus.
