Rail Travel Information
Italy is served by an extensive network of roads, railways and international ferry lines. Road and rail links cross into the country from France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia, and there are through train services from as far as Moscow through to London and Barcelona.
Train Travel is one of the best ways to explore Italy. Tickets are reasonable and services run frequently. Services can be busy, but the days of rampant overcrowding are mostly over. The lines often run through beautiful countryside, from mountains to lakes and provide more convenient links between cities than roads or air travel.
In every train station there are both white and yellow/orange train schedules displayed. For departing trains, check the yellow/orange colored poster. It will tell you the route, the major intermediate stops, the times the trains run. Be sure to check the notes column; expect schedule changes for weekends and holidays (there are generally fewer trains that run on weekends).
