The other airport, not the city. For a connection between the two; for the centre take the Leonardo Express or the FL1.

Journey
45–90 min
Not non-stop: the coach also calls at Via Aurelia and the Vatican before Termini, so it can take much longer than a direct transfer — from about 45 minutes late at night to around 90 minutes at busier times.
Buying at the stop instead of online costs EUR 2 more each way.

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.
Taxis at Fiumicino leave from Terminal 1 and Terminal 3; both ranks charge the same fixed fare.
