A couple (American Tourists) had their bag snatched on a train I was on from Roma Termini - Florance main. They noticed about half way through the trip when the dad went to grab something out of his bag he put in an overhead. They deduced that pickpockets were on the train acting like passengers, they took his bags basically right after they put them in overhead storage acting like they were putting their bags up there too, then they got off the train. Stay safe out there people. Italy does not care enough about tourists to actually dole out harsh penalties for pickpockets and street scammers.
I went by train from Florence to Turin and I put my carry-on bag inside of my checked bag, so I wouldn't have to store my luggage in 2 spots on the train. Not to mention having 2 pieces of luggage visible. Which made it less of a hassle to bring on the train. I had to think ahead by making sure I didn't buy too much stuff in Florence, so that I could put one bag inside the other. I saved that for Turn. Bought lots of chocolate there.
I never travel to Italy in the summer because I want to avoid the heat and crowds. I’m currently in Bari at the end of a three week trip in Puglia. I took the FrecciaRossa from Rome to Lecce. The train originated in Milan. It was a very good train experience although a bit expensive. I’m returning to Rome on an Italo train because the time was more convenient than the FrecciaRossa. Train travel is a bit complicated in Puglia because to get to some places you have to take a private regional train not the Trenitalia system. However, Trenitalia does have many trains that connect all the coastal cities and the costs are quite reasonable. I have taken at least 2 dozen train trips in the last 3 weeks and the trains have been on time and comfortable with very few exceptions. It’s a great way to travel.
Thank you for sharing this! You're right, in most cases traveling around Italy by train is quite comfortable - and personally, I love Italo trains! Hope you enjoyed your stay :)
Great information. thank you. Can you include videos on popular less known destinations often ignored, places to stay things to do etc. Italy is great and we took 3 trips from US covering Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Milan. lake Como, Cinque Terre, Amalfi coast, Sorrento, Capri Island etc. Want to do Portofino area and many more. Italy has the best to offer for European tourism and the list of places are never ending. Beautiful country and love it.
I'm travelling from Trieste to lake Garda and then onto Milan airport after a short stay. I will have 1 large suitcase and a small cabin bag, so will my partner. I'm going to travel by train and use the code. 👍
@@braincat43 sure! By train, you can take the TGV directly from your city to Paris, then, take the frecciarossa from Paris (garre du nord) to Milan. If u want to go by plane, take an intercity to Toulouse and from there, the plane to Milan (operated by easyJet). Hope this helped you!
2 Questions - 1. If I purchase a normal train ticket from Rome to Venice, do I still need seat reservation ? I dont have a Eurail Pass 2. The luggage restriction of 2 suitcases is per passenger right ?
Thank you for the great Travel Tips! We are planning a trip, 25 Aug - 7 Sep 2024. We need to spend the first few days visiting family in San Pietro in Bevagna, Province of Taranto, (Puglia). Then, we'll Start the tourist travel bit. A sister wants to see Venice, Pisa, Sorrento, Capri, and then we'll leave Rome for the states in 7 September. I know that this is the extreme ends of Italy. Do you have suggestions on how to work this out via Train travel? Thank you, Mike
Hello, if I bought the train tickets via Trenitalia app for 2 persons, can I just make 2 taps upon entry to the platform? I’ve seen videos where you need to tap the ticket QR code in Roma termini. Or do I need to send the other QR code to my husband’s phone?
Hi, I think you should make the online check-in for both if you got the tickets online (also, it's only valid for regional trains, high speed ones don't require you to do so). The check-in link should arrive to your email the day before the departure or probably directly in the app!

I never my luggage unattended or I lock it in place. I use PacSafe bags.

Ohh the chocolate in Turin ❤️ Thanks for sharing!

Nobody controls and checks baggage weights on Italian trains. Most of those rules are just on paper, especially in Italy.
I live in Italy and the best way of transport is plane and Train. I can go from Padua to venivi by train in only 30mins !
Can you help me how to travel from Lourdes to milan

I would like the answer to that question also.
Any recommendation for winter (december) itinerary by train? Grazie!
Check out the picturesque train rides in the Alps, like the one leaving Domodossola to go to Switzerland!
I thought the decision on luggage restrictions were reversed in March 2024.
Do we have to activate or something like that the tickets bought in the app?
so you have to stack your luggage out of your sight?... Very risky
What about service dogs on the train. We have not yet traveled with my Service Dog (Labrador) on the train yet.
I've heard service dogs travel for free all over Europe, but it's better to double check it with the train company!
I bought Italo train tickets with refund option fee, but I am not able to travel, I couldn’t find anyway to get refund, is there any trick?
What is the requirements if you travelling greece to italy thru train

I bought 4 tickets for regional trains - using Trenitalia app- I “checked in” one time-online using the app - and all four tickets were “checked in”.
