We booked and purchased our train tickets through your site. It was so easy and quick! I had been struggling for months on how to manipulate the Italy train website, with no luck. Once again, you guys came through! Thanks! We are now fully booked for our 5 weeks abroad.

In Italy Online is proud to offer you rail travel in association
with Rail Europe and Italia Rail. Both these North American companies have web sites that allow you to purchase
many different types of rail travel including the Trenitalia pass, which allows you three days of unlimited
travel on the national rail network of Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, with additional days available at a small
cost. All passes include ferry services to Sicily. First-class passengers also get a free ride on the Leonardo
Express, which runs from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Roma Termini. Trenitalia passes are available at specially
discounted prices for travelers under the age of 26, or for parties of two or more.
Or simply purchase point-to-point
tickets throughout Europe. This is a smart, low-cost way to get around in eastern and western Europe. Italia
Rail and Rail Europe make it easy to plan and purchase train travel prior to your arrival, so that when you
arrive you can simply sit back and enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
If you are traveling to Italy plus Switzerland and/or Germany, the Cisalpino is the
quick and comfortable way to go. You can cruise through the Alps on this high-speed train to destinations
such as Zurich, Geneva, Stuttgart, Milan and Venice.
Also available are sleeper trains,
high-speed trains, international routes, and airport connection trains in Rome, Milan, Pisa, Turin and Palermo.
We especially recommend high-speed travel within Italy via the Eurostar Italia. These trains are called TAV and can take you between popular destinations such as Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice and Naples in a matter of hours.
Before making your purchase, we suggest you consult the following sites in this order:
1. Check Italian Railways to find your train's schedule (It is virtually impossible to
purchase anything, but you can find the schedule for every train running in Italy).
2. For trains within Italy,
visit Italia Rail to book your ticket.
3. For trains involving countries other than Italy, visit Rail Europe
to book your ticket.
In Italy Online deeply regrets if none of the Italian railways or affiliated sites below work. We are not part of their organization and unfortunately are unable to help them with basic Internet functionality. We hope that you will have success with them and we apologize for any inconvenience if you don't. |

It is now possible to travel between Rome and Milan in 3.5 hours. Second-class tickets cost 71 Euro/person; first-class costs 98 Euro/person. Right after the new line was inaugurated, two journalists "raced" each other from the center of Rome to the center of Milan, one by plane and one on the new train. Door-to-door, the plane trip was quicker by one hour but cost 200 Euros more. Add to that the relative ease of getting to the train station and we'd say the train wins, hands down. Other high-speed (TAV) routes include Rome-Venice, Rome-Bari, Rome-Lamezia, Rome-Genoa, Milan-Naples, Milan-Bologna and Milan-Florence.
