The other airport, not the city. For a connection between the two; for the centre take the Airlink or the Terravision coach.

Journey
25–59 min
No ride time is published for the taxi between the airports; transfer companies quote 25 to 59 minutes for the same road, and traffic on the ring road decides it.
The fixed fare applies only to licensed Rome city taxis. A driver who approaches you inside the terminal is not the official rank.
Fiumicino has two terminals about 300 metres apart; the fare is the same to either, so name yours.
