How to get to L'Aquila
Rome Fiumicino
Rome Ciampino
Both airports are connected to L'Aquila by express coach service operated by Gaspari or Flixbus. Read the section below ("By Bus") for further information.
Additional coach services (operated by T.U.A. and Itabus) are available from the "Tiburtina train station" (Stazione Tiburtina) located in East Rome. But that means you'll have to first get on a train/bus/undeground from the airport to get to the "Tiburtina train station", which will take you one hour or so, at least. So, we strongly suggest you use the other option above, as those coaches will be departing right from inside the aiport parking area.
Lastly, be informed that a bunch of European cities are also connected to the Abruzzo Airport in Pescara, located at about 100 km to the east of L'Aquila.
Getting to campus
Our programmes are coordinated and hosted by D.I.S.I.M. (Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics) located on the Coppito campus in via Vetoio - West L'Aquila.
The Coppito campus also hosts other faculties: biology, chemistry, physics and, most importantly, the main city hospital ("ospedale" in Italian). Keep that in mind whenever you ask for directions, as everybody knows where the main hospital (ospedale) is.
Then, the University of L'Aquila is made up of several other campuses spread over the whole city, each of which has its own focus and identity. To get an overview, check out this interactive map.
Bus routes
Both websites are only in Italian, but all you need to do is enter the word "ospedale" or "Università - Polo Coppito" or "L'Aquila Ospedale Università" in the search box (indirizzo di arrivo).
Number 1 or 2U buses are very likely the AMA buses you'll need most, as they connect our campus to the bus station at the My Suites Hotel (aka Hotel Amiternum), the "L'Aquilone" shopping centre, as well as the main bus station (known as Collemaggio or Terminal) in the old city centre.
As bus routes are not available on Google Maps yet, we recommend
