AVMajor city pairs

High-speed trains

Frecciarossa and Italo serve many major-city corridors and normally include a reserved seat, making them useful for longer city-centre journeys.

Before booking: Compare the exact departure, stations, total duration, class and fare conditions.

ICCities and intermediate stops

Intercity trains

Intercity is generally slower than high-speed rail but reaches more intermediate cities. On some routes, a direct train matters more than top speed.

Before booking: Confirm changes, seat assignment and the validity of the selected fare.

R / RVShort trips and day trips

Regional trains

Regionale and Regionale Veloce are practical for local connections and smaller destinations and normally do not provide assigned seats.

Before booking: Follow the ticket instructions for paper-ticket validation or any required digital check-in.

Night trains

An Intercity Notte offer may be a seat, couchette or sleeping cabin. An overnight departure does not automatically include a bed.
