Train from Bolzano to Verona

Q: How far in advance should I book my train tickets?

Trenitalia's train schedules and fares are typically only released between 90-120 days in advance*, so it's not a good idea to solidify travel plans before that point—the timetable can change seasonally.You can buy your train tickets roughly 2 months ahead of when you'll need them, and can even book them the day before your train trip. Once you're in Italy, you can buy tickets just before you get on a train.Buying tickets soon after they're released gives you a better chance of securing seats during busy travel days, and may give you access to sales or ticket discounts that are only available for advance purchases.* The 90-120 day figure refers to high-speed trains. Regional train tickets are usually only available about 60 days in advance.

Q: Do I need to show my passport before boarding the train?

It's always a good idea to securely carry your passport with you when you travel, but whether you'll need to get it out before boarding a train depends on whether you have a train ticket or a rail pass.With a rail pass, you'll need your passport to validate the pass before its first use (you must do this at a ticket window before boarding). For any subsequent use of the same pass, you might not need your passport before boarding any other train, although a train conductor might ask you a prove of identity. Do not forget to check if you need to reserve a seat to board a specific train. High-speed trains require seat reservation for boarding/riding a train.With a train ticket, you won't need to show your passport before getting on the train.

Q: Do you have a map of train routes in Italy?

Italy's rail network is extensive, reaching nearly every corner of the country. A comprehensive map of Italy's train routes, then, would be prohibitively large, which is why a useful paper map of every single Italian rail line doesn't exist.The map on this page shows Trenitalia's high-speed rail lines in Italy*, which are the trains most visitors use. There are a few cities not included on this map in the northern part of the country, where the dots are already close enough together to prohibit any further additions, but most destinations served by Italy's Frecce trains - the Frecciarossa, Frecciargente, and Frecciabianca - are included on this map.When you're planning a trip through Italy by train, the best way to determine whether a city or town is connected to Italy's rail network is by typing your route into ItaliaRail's search boxes. Our system recognizes both the English and Italian names for stations and cities, so no matter which you use you'll see an auto-fill option if your destination is served by Trenitalia.If you do not see an auto-fill option for your destination, you can often find an entry for the city or town on Wikipedia. Sometimes, those include a Transportation entry, where you may see that a place is not on the rail lines.If you need further assistance in determining whether your chosen route is possible via train, please contact our customer service department.* It's important to keep in mind that routes change regularly, particularly when it comes to the constantly-expanding high-speed train lines.

Q: I booked my ticket for the right city but the wrong station. How can I change it?
