r/ItalyTravelAdvice

hey guys! i’m currently planning a trip to italy and just need some advice on the best trains to take. i’ve done some research, but it seems like there’s maybe 2 different rails I could take? a high speed and regional? also i’ve heard of trenitalia, italo, train line to book? is there one that’s better than the others?

and how are the stations? is it simple enough to figure out which train to take?

if anyone can give advice on which is the best to take for these locations please let me know!

naples —> rome

rome —> la spezia

la spezia —> venice

venice —> florence

florence —> naples

naples —> amalfi coast

would it be best to book these tickets in advance or there at the station? and where would I book the tickets online? also is there an app that like shows the rails and their stops?

thank you!

My husband and I are in Venice right now and are kind of shocked by how insane it is! We were expecting crowds but it’s truly just crazy!! And recommendations on a nice quiet quaint area for dinner tomorrow or a certain restaurant? We’re planning on going to burrano tomorrow for a part of the day but no other solid plans! I’d love any recs for more chill/pretty areas. We’re 30 years old for reference!

Hello! We are landing in Rome July 10th and staying 11 full days (not including the travel days ) we are wanting to do Rome, Florence and then somewhere on the coast! We like swimming and tanning but also wandering and shops. Does anyone have recommendations? We were going back and forth between cinque terre and amalfi coast or Sardinia.

Any other recommendations? We are hoping to travel by train, Thanks!
