How to get to L'Aquila
By plane
The closest airports are in Rome (Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino Airport) and in Pescara (Aeroporto d’Abruzzo). From Ciampino and Fiumicino there is a direct bus to L’Aquila, which will leave you at Hotel Amiternum in L'Aquila. You can see timetable and fares on the webpage http://www.gasparionline.it/.
By train/bus
Since L’Aquila railway station is not well connected, we suggest to arrive to the stations of Rome or Giulianova (if you travel on the East coast along the Adriatic sea). There are direct bus connections from the stations of Roma Tiburtina and Giulianova to Hotel Amiternum in L'Aquila. For further information see the webpages http://www.tuabruzzo.it and http://www.gasparionline.it/.
