How to Use Roma Tiburtina, Rome’s Train Station During a Rome Stay

Roma Tiburtina sits between the Pietralata and Nomentano districts, connected by a glass gallery above the railway platforms. The gallery measures 300 metres long and 60 metres wide, making it a defining feature of the station’s layout.

Grandi Stazioni describes Roma Tiburtina as Rome’s second-largest railway station by traffic volume and type. It was also the first station completed on the Turin–Milan–Salerno High-Speed Rail System.

The station’s Cavour plaque is in the Nomentano Hall. Its inscriptions include Cavour’s speech to the Chamber of Deputies on March 25, 1861, and a speech on railways from 1846.

Use the station plans to orient yourself across its levels and the gallery. Grandi Stazioni publishes plans for the underground level on the Nomentano side, the ground level and platforms, the Nomentano-side mezzanine, and the gallery.

Station services include an ATM, pharmacy, information service, restrooms, parking, shopping, Freccia Club, Italo Club lounge and Sala Blu assistance. Check the official site before you go for current station services and plans.

For ticket checks, Trenitalia says an electronic ticket or regional season ticket can be printed or shown on an electronic device, provided its attachment and QR code display correctly when requested by staff. Its guidance on showing tickets at departure-area gates names several other stations, but not Roma Tiburtina.

Roma Tiburtina is on Metro B, between Bologna and Quintiliani. ATAC identifies it as an accessible station on the line.

For route planning, ATAC’s journey planner covers scheduled routes and timetables for buses, trams, trolleybuses, metro lines and ATAC-operated railways. Its downloadable maps cover central Rome, the metro and metropolitan railways, night lines, the city network, tram lines, Ostia and peripheral lines.

If you’re planning more trips around the city, how to get around Rome by metro from the Tiburtina area is a useful subject to consider alongside the station connection.

Roma Tiburtina also connects with Fiumicino Airport on the FL1. Trenitalia describes that journey as taking 48 minutes, with departures every 15 minutes on working days and every 30 minutes on Sundays and public holidays.

For airport journeys beyond the FL1 connection, how to get from Rome’s airports to the Tiburtina area is another useful route to plan.

Roma Tiburtina is about an 8-minute walk from Tiburtina Hotel Holiday, or about 5 minutes by car. The guesthouse offers rooms at Tiburtina Hotel Holiday.

For a nearby rail alternative, Tiburtina FS is about an 8-minute walk from the hotel, while Quintiliani is about a 16-minute walk. These are separate station references, so check the name on your ticket and route before setting out.

Allow time to locate the right level, platform or service area, especially if you need assistance or are unfamiliar with the station. The published plans cover several parts of the complex, so checking the relevant plan before travelling can help you find your way.

For a train journey, confirm your departure details with the rail operator and make sure any electronic ticket attachment displays clearly on your device. Station services and transport schedules can change, so check the official site before you go.
