How to Travel in Italy By Train (Cheapest Tickets) | Rome, Florence, Venice

*Differences Between Regional and Long Distance Trains in Italy*
First off, there are two types of trains: One that goes long distances using the high speed rail, like going from Rome to Florence.
The other train is the regional trains. These go shorter distances like Milan to Como.
*How to Book a Regional Train in Italy*
Example train routes:
Milan to Como
Florence to Pisa
- The Regional trains don’t need to be bought in advance.
- Once you’re at the station there will be ticket machines to purchase the tickets.
- The prices are fixed so it isn’t cheaper if you buy in advance. There are no assigned seats so if you want a seat get on the train right when it arrives.
- Also don’t forget to validate your train ticket before hopping on. If you don’t do this, you’ll get fined!
The regional trains make it super easy to do little short one day trips to another city.
*How to Book a Long Distance Train in Italy*
The below is the cheapest and easiest method to book a long distance train from two cities such as Venice to Florence.
- All seats on these trains are reserved.
- I found that buying my ticket from Italiarail.com was the easiest to use. Some say it could be cheaper if you are buying two or more tickets. I’ve looked on other sites and it was the cheapest I could find at the time.
- The website charges a small service fee of 3.50 euros per transaction. HOWEVER, if you book it with Seat61.com, you can email them afterward to get the service fee refunded.
Here is a list some other sites you could compare prices with:
italiarail.com
loco2.com
trenitalia.com
If you are traveling with two people I suggest getting seats facing each other on the side.
* The Difference Between First and Second Class Seating*
Standard seating:
- Decent space to put luggage
- Cloth seats
- Comfortable
First Class seating:
- 25 euros more/person on avg.
- Leather seats
- A bit more leg room
- Free drink and snack
- Extra room for large luggage
Overall, I don’t think it’s worth the extra cost.
*Common Italian Train Station Names (Translated English to Italian)*
Rome: Stazione Terimini
Venice: Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia
Florence: Firenze Santa Maria Novella
Milan: Milano Centrale
For Rome the main station you should take is Station Termini because it is walking distance to all the sights. Roma Ostiense and Roma Triburtina stations are all on the outskirts of the city so you would have to take a local train or taxi into the city center.
Here are how long the train takes from one city to the next:
Rome to Florence 1 hour and 32 minutes
Venice to Florence takes 2 hours and 5 minutes
Florence to Milan takes 1 hour and 41 minutes

Vacation rental in Florence - Our apartment in Florence Italy right by the duomo
We rented an apartment for the week in the center of Florence and had the Duomo literally right outside our door. The apartment had everything we needed for a week in Florence. We took the train from Rome to Florence and then checked into our apartment and give you guys a tour on our first day in Florence. We enjoy being able to cook meals, have a refrigerator and washing facilities available to us when we are staying for more than 3 or 4 days.

Italy Road Trip: Florence to Bologna (Montepulciano & San Marino)
My Italy Road Trip begins in Florence, Italy where I spend a relaxing day in Firenze before meeting up with friend and fellow travel blogger Clint of TripHackr.com.
We need to be in Venice in four days, so this is part one of the Italian Road Trip adventure to get there!
We rent a car in Florence and drive south to Montepulciano for lunch. Montepulciano is an incredible medieval hilltop town right in the middle of the Tuscany wine region.
Next, we drove back north to the Republic of San Marino for sunset, and onward to Bologna for dinner.
It was a great first day on our Italy Road Trip!

Emily's Italian Dessert: Florence Food Market ????????
■ ITALY, FLORENCE: After diving head first into more cow parts than I'd ever dared dream of, we continued to wander around Florence's 140 year old food court. Now we were on the lookout for dessert. We didn't have to search very long for after a few metres we stumbled upon an entertaining shopkeeper selling Cantuccini con Vino Santo.
Essentially a hard biscuit you dip in your strong liquor of choice. After the biscuit disaster in my hotel room in Sri Lanka i was highly skeptical. Eventually I bowed to peer pressure and decided to indulge.
■ The name of Emily's shops is Altobio.it and is located on the ground floor where I ate all the other food.
■ If you want Martina to take you around this market to try all the same food I had, or you want a guided tour of Brunelescchi's dome, Palazzo Vecchio or any other museum, you can write her an e-mail through her website:
