Website | EmailIn addition to being Rome's main railway station and transit hub, Stazione Termini offers visitors a wide variety of bars, restaurants and over 100 shops. This is where Lines A and B of the metro cross, and many shuttles and buses drop of and pick up here as well. The Leonardo Express runs between the station and Fiumicino Airport every 30 min, and there are multiple car rental agencies located here. It was first built in 1867 upon the wish of Pope Pius IX, when it was baptized "Termini" because of its proximity to the Terme di Diocleziano (Diocletian's Baths). In 1938, during the Fascist period, it was demolished and rebuilt on the design of Mazzoni who also designed the buildings on the Via Marsala and the Via Giolitti. The station was not ready for Hitler's visit to Rome in 1939 so he was met at Ostiense station instead. The station is one of Italy's most interesting Rationalist designs since the war.
