Click here for a
map of the Airport.
The train to Rome Termini is straightforward. From the Termini taking the 64
bus from the bus stands in front of the Termini and then walking should not be
too difficult if you do not have much luggage. A Taxi from the train Termini
should be about 12.00.
- For those taking a taxi from the airport - ask for a quote and do not agree to more than 40.00 -
ask another taxi for their price if necessary. Drivers may ask for as much as
70 and commonly 60, but a metered fare is close to 40.
- Finding CIAM can be a challenge! Via Urbano VIII can be described as "near the new car park - Terminal Gianicolo - San Petro.
(See

Children's Hospital.

The garden roof of CIAM is the same level as the university grounds (which
now include tennis courts and grassed areas covering the Propaganda Archives
and the bus station). There are superb views over St Peters and the Vatican.
Walking, or taxi, will bring you to the top level, then go down the stairs to the
entrance on the top floor.
The red line on the photo below outlines the campus of the Pontifical Urban University. CIAM is at
the edge of the gardens at the top right hand side of the red line. The Library
is at the bottom left, and the Jean-Paul II Aula is just above it towards the
left.
