Yes, Rome Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (FCO) lets you smoke after security, in the smoking areas ADR, the operator, lists in both terminals — by the A boarding areas and in the upper-level restaurant area in Terminal 1, and by the E boarding areas and in the upper-level restaurant area in Terminal 3 — and in the open air outside the terminals before security. Italy bans smoking in enclosed public spaces, so the areas after security are enclosed, ventilated booths, which travellers described as glass cabins. Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 connect after security, so once you are through you can reach the areas of either terminal.
Terminal 1 — Boarding Areas A
Terminal 1 holds boarding areas A1–A3, A21–A27, A31–A52 and A61–A83 on ADR’s map. ADR lists smoking areas:
- in the departures area after security, in the restaurant area on the upper level
- in boarding area A1–A10, near gates A02 and A05 — travellers described a large new area right before gates A1–A3, opposite the gaming area, in May 2025, and a small area at gate A5 in October 2022
- in boarding area A21–A27, near gate A21
- in boarding area A31–A59, near gate A31, near gate A50 and between gates A47 and A49
- in boarding area A61–A73, near gates A62 and A71
- in boarding area A74–A83, near gate A75
Terminal 3 — Boarding Areas E
Terminal 3 holds boarding areas E1–E8, E11–E24, E31–E44 and E51–E61 on ADR’s map. ADR lists smoking areas:
- in departures after security, in the restaurant area on the upper level
- in boarding area E11–E24, near gate E14
- in boarding area E31–E44, near gate E38
- in boarding area E51–E52
Travellers described a fair-sized smoking room beside the British Airways lounge and two small cubicles near gates E4 and E14 in February 2023.
The areas are sealed booths; the nearest information desk or gate staff can point you to the closest one.
Before Security (Landside)
Indoor smoking is banned throughout the terminal, so smoking before security is outdoors only:
- Outdoor areas with ashtrays and bins outside each terminal entrance on the departures level.
- Outdoor seating around the terminal forecourt and near the Fiumicino Aeroporto train station.
Transit and Layovers
The smoking areas ADR lists are after security, and Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 connect after security, so a Fiumicino layover means you can smoke without leaving the secure zone or re-clearing security. On an international or domestic connection, walk to the nearest area in your boarding area.
Vaping
ADR publishes no vaping rule for Fiumicino, so ask staff before you vape in a smoking area or elsewhere in the terminal.
