Maq Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi, Looking for a bit of advice, if anyone knows about train travel in Italy! We're going there next month, and want to travel from Rome to Naples, on one of the fast trains, so the journey only takes an hour. Is the system over there similar to here, in that fares are cheaper if you book in advance, or are we as well just pitching up on the day? Also - what websites would anyone recommend using to buy tickets in advance - there seems to be loads, can anyone recommend a reputable one? Do they send out e-tickets, or do you just rock up at the station with your booking reference and card you used for payment? Any help much appreciated!

Maq Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 That looks like exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. Have you used them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flure Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) No, sorry. But the info that we got off that site about booking train tickets in Portugal earlier this summer was spot on. Edited August 18, 2016 by Flure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I dunno about the fast trains you're on about, however I've booked through the Trenitalia website for journeys from Rome to Venice and Venice to Milan for next week. Total cost of less than €20 per person per journey. I booked my tickets back in April when they first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email confirmation was enough for Portugal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 I did look at that trenitalia website, but it kept speaking Italian at me! I'll have another look, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Booked it through Italiarail website (which I think is just an English language version of trenitalia) Thanks very much chaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 You can change the language on the Trenitalia website at the top right hand corner of the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
