One question,
answered with the operator's own numbers.

Why it exists

Four people landing at Rome Fiumicino will read that the Leonardo Express costs €14 and the taxi a flat €50, and take the taxi. Trenitalia sells four Leonardo Express tickets for €40. Almost no comparison page carries that fact, because almost every comparison page prices for one traveler and stops.

So this site prices every way into the city for one to eight travelers, with the group tickets and the per-vehicle fares already in the total, and says at which party size the cheapest answer changes. It also says where each option actually leaves you, because a cheaper ticket to the wrong station is not cheaper.

Who makes it

We are a small group of digital consultants living between Italy, Budapest and Berlin, and we fly a lot. Every trip started the same way: an evening spent working out how to get from the airport into the city, across a dozen tabs, an airport site that named the bus but not the fare, and a forum thread that was three years old. We had the same conversation before every flight, and we assumed everyone else did too.

So in 2018 we started airporttocitycenter as a travel blog, writing up the routes we had taken. The blog taught us what a transfer guide needs to say and what it usually leaves out: the total for a group, the last departure, where the train actually stops. In September 2026 we rebuilt it as this site, with 66 airport records across 51 cities, each fare read from its operator and dated. It is edited byNicolò Salvatore.

Research and re-checks are done with the help of AI assistants that read the operators' pages; the rule that nothing is published without a source and a date is enforced by the site's own build, and every record is reviewed by one of us before it goes live.

What it is not

• Not a booking site. The fares are reported, not sold. Where a link goes to a seller and earns a commission, it is marked as sponsored and it never changes the ranking.
• Not an estimate. If an operator has not published a fare, we describe the option and leave it unpriced. How we check fares sets out the rule.
• Not a guidebook. There is no "best restaurant near the station". There is the price, the time, the hours, and where it leaves you.
