Practical information for flights from Rome to Washington D.C.

There's Ronald Reagan, used for domestic flights and close to the city center, the farther Dulles Airport, where most intercontinental flights to and from the USA capital pass through, and Baltimore Washington International Airport, which is closer to Baltimore than to Washington. When landing at the latter (BWI), the best way to reach the capital is to take the train from Marshall Rail Station, connected to the terminal by a free shuttle bus service, and arrive at Washington's Union Station using Amtrak trains or the MARC Train. Dulles International Airport (IAD) is located 42 kilometers from downtown Washington and can be reached by taxi, shuttle services, or in 50 minutes by the Silver Line metro that stops right at the airport.
