Fermo doesn't have a train station in the city, it shares one with Porto San Giorgio (Stazione Porto San Giorgio Fermo), which is something of a misnomer given that the station is entirely in Porto San Giorgio and 7 kilometres away from Fermo. A bus connects the two locations with a journey time of 15 minutes.
The closest airport to Fermo is Marche Airport near Ancona which is a drive of 53 minutes and 77 kilometres. Alternatives include Pescara Airport in Abruzzo (108 km) or Rimini Airport in Emilia Romagna (159 km).
