Overnight stay at the airport

Can you spend the night at Rome Fiumicino airport (FCO)? Opening hours, rest areas and services for long layovers. See also the airport guide for general information.

If you have a long layover or an early flight, you may need to spend the night at Fiumicino Airport. Although it is not the most comfortable airport for overnight stays, there are some options and services available.

Where to rest

Most of the seats in the terminals have armrests, making it difficult to stretch out. Some areas may offer more comfortable seating, such as certain restaurants and fast-food outlets. The seats located near gates B, D, E and H, as well as the free lounges near gates A27-31, could be an option, although comfort is limited. Given the situation, it is advisable to have a blanket or sleeping bag handy, as the floor may be your only alternative.

For greater comfort, consider booking a room at the HelloSky Air Rooms & Lounge, located in front of the terminals and accessible via a covered walkway. It offers rooms and resting areas for short stays or overnight.

Luggage

The luggage storage facility in the international arrivals area of Terminal 3 closes at 11:00 pm and reopens at 7:00 am. Therefore, if you plan to spend the night, you will need to keep your bags with you during those hours.

Food and drink (24 hours)

There are some restaurants, cafés and bars open during the night, mainly in Terminal 3. In addition, you will find vending machines with drinks and snacks in all terminals.

Toilets and showers

Showers are only available inside the airport’s VIP lounges. There are no public shower facilities.

Wi-Fi

The airport offers free, unlimited Wi-Fi throughout all terminals, allowing you to stay connected during your wait.

Other 24-hour services

During the night, you can also access ATMs and baby-care facilities.

Services and opening hours can change. If you plan to sleep in the public area, have a plan B: some airports only let passengers with a flight stay overnight.

Tips for a long layover

  1. Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Italy and whether your bags are checked through.
  2. If you sleep airside, you will usually need a boarding pass for a flight that day. Ask your airline before you go through security.
  3. A lounge with day access can be cheaper than a hotel for a few hours: see VIP lounges at FCO.
  4. Keep your valuables with you, set an alarm and carry a light layer: terminals are often cold at night.
  5. Going to a hotel in town? See transportation from FCO (30 km to Rome), and check which services run at night.
