Bus to Lanciano

Do you arrive in Rome?

The best way to come to Lanciano from Rome (if you don't have a car) is with bus.

From the airport (Fiumicino or Ciampino) you have to arrive to Tiburtina bus station (across the street from Tiburtina train station).
Once there, you should find the office that sells tikets for a company called "di fonzo" or in general tickets to Abruzzo. The office should be the letter C, but you can just ask or look a bit around. There you can ask a ticket fot the first bus to Lanciano.
I suggest you bring some cash with you, because they do not accept credit cards (weird, I know), and the cost of the ticket one way is 17€.
The bus then should leave from platform 13, however you can ask the sellers.

The bus then normally take a 10 minutes break on the higway. Furthermore sometime you'll have to shift bus on your way to Lanciano (the driver will tell the passengers). The journey hould take about 3hours according to the traffic conditions.

You find busses at this times:

Rome-Lanciano

10.00-13.00 monday to saturday
14.30-17.10 always
14.30-18.15 always (slower because goes into a town on the way)
17.30-21.00 monday to saturday
19.00-21.41 monday to saturday
21.00-23.40 always

From Lanciano, you will have to buy your ticket at Di Fonzo agency, on the main street (corso Trento e Trieste), open in office hours.

Hei Stina,
