Italian trains


The trains in Italy are very reasonably priced, almost always run on time and offer a great alternative to hiring a car if you are staying in one of the main towns like Florence or Rome. Tickets can be bought from most Tabaccherie (tobacconists), at train stations, or alternatively online at the following link. The website also has a comprehensive timetable so you can look up your train in advance. Make sure to validate your ticket in one of the many yellow machines at Italian train stations if you want to avoid a fine onboard.
