There are several types of trains in Italy, from high-speed and luxury trains to the trains that connect smaller towns. The type of train you take in Italy can depend on where you’re going, how much time you have, and what your budget is.
Italy’s high-speed trains are sleek and efficient, with relatively inexpensive ticket prices if purchased in advance. High-speed trains always require reservations. Trenitalia, Italy’s state-run rail network, operates most of the high-speed trains. Others are run by a private company, Italo. The two options are competitively priced and reasonably similar, though they sometimes serve different train stations. High-speed train tickets usually cost more than slow trains, but they’re much more efficient if you’re short on time.
Regional trains in Italy are slower, but serve a much wider network of cities and smaller towns throughout Italy. Many don’t require reservations, and some have only second-class cars. Regional trains may be your only option if you’re traveling through rural parts of Italy. They take longer, but are sometimes the cheapest option.
Other types of trains in Italy include overnight trains for long-haul trips and privately-run scenic trains that are excellent options for sightseeing day trips.
