Tiburtina luggage storage

About Tiburtina

Rome is a city full of tourist attractions and is one of the most popular spots to visit in the world. A city like this one needs a public transit system that can accommodate a large number of tourists, which has resulted in many bus and train stations. Tiburtina is the city's second-largest train station after Termini. 

Originally built in 1866, the station lies outside of Rome's historic center and is situated to the northeast of Termini station. While most foreign visitors arrive at Termini thanks to its rail connection to the airport, Tiburtina is often where you go to catch trains to the rest of Italy. It's a major stop on the Naples to Milan line and is used by over 50 million passengers each year.

Connected by train, subway, and bus to the rest of Rome's transit system, Tiburtina is easy to reach. Although its location outside the historic center means that the area is often overlooked by visiting tourists, that doesn't mean there's no reason to explore the area around the train station. 

For many people, Tiburtina and its neighborhood offer a glimpse of the real Rome, the sprawling modern city that surrounds the more well-known central district. While you explore Rome, whether near Tiburtina or in the more famous part of town, take advantage of our left luggage services to store your luggage while you sightsee.
