The following airlines operate regular services between Chandigarh and Rome. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Chandigarh to Rome for tourism, business, and to visit family. Rome, the capital of Italy, offers a mix of ancient history, religious sites, and modern culture. Expect a long flight with at least one layover.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Rome is during the shoulder seasons, April-May and September-October. The weather is pleasant, and there are fewer crowds than in the peak summer months. Avoid July and August due to the intense heat.

Getting from the airport to Rome

From Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport (FCO), you can take the Leonardo Express train to Termini Station for about 14 euros; the journey takes around 30 minutes. Alternatively, the regional FL1 train is cheaper at 8 euros but makes more stops. Taxis are available outside the terminal and cost a fixed rate of 50 euros to the city center.

Things to do in Rome

Visit the Colosseum and Roman Forum to explore ancient Roman history. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain for good luck. Explore Vatican City, including St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums. Wander through the charming neighborhood of Trastevere.

Food to try

Try classic Roman pasta dishes like Cacio e Pepe or Carbonara. Indulge in a gelato from a local gelateria. Sample Roman-style pizza, which is thin and crispy.

Local tips

Be aware of pickpockets, especially in crowded tourist areas. Dress respectfully when visiting religious sites like the Vatican. Learn a few basic Italian phrases, as not everyone speaks English fluently.
