To get to the station, leave the airport terminal by
the escalator/walkway to the

signs for 'Rent a Car/Autonoleggio' or 'Hilton Hotel'. It is easier to
locate from the departure level of Terminal C (3). On entering the train
station concourse, buy a ticket at the TABAC (signed 'Buy train
tickets here' - speaks English). Then, on platform #1 validate the
ticket in one of the machines there (validity 90 mins). There is a
tourist information desk at the train station. Railway
