Which station in Ancona ??

Hello - we are staying in Rome and Venice and would like to take a short day trip to Pisa on the way. Traveling with luggage is obviously the problem. Ideally, the thought is to take the train from Rome to Pisa, store our luggage SAFELY at the train station, see the leaning tower, have lunch, then come back to the station to retrieve our luggage and jump on a train to Venice. All sounds good in theory… but is there actually a safe, secure place to store our luggage while we do the Pisa day exploring?

Thanks in advance!

Hello again,

I am travelling to Varenna from Milan central train station. I have a choice to both milan airports(LIN and MXP). I know MXP has great connection directly to train station but takes longer since it is far. LIN is near from milan train station but I don't see direct train or shuttle to milan train station. Am I missing anything or for sure there is no direct train/shuttle from LIN to milan central station? Thanks in advance.

Is there an elevator in station

Hi we did the Train Trip back in 2017 but unfortunately unable to see a lot as we left late out of Milan due to accident on the track.

Look for info on what station is the border between Italy and Switzerland as also finally when things get back to normal we love to redo this again but this time looking at two or three stops along the way. Any recommendations on which town to stop in.

Zug Postplatz, Fluelen, Lugano, Como S Giovanni and any others worth stop over night at along the way.

Cheers

First, i should mention that i'm somewhat ADHD when on vacation so i don't like to stay in one place too long but would rather look, absorb, take some pics and keep moving along. With that said i'm very active and walking is certainly ok with me. I would be taking trains mostly . I have the following thus far:

1) Arrive Venice

2)Venice

3)Venice

4)Venice to Bologna

5)Bologna to Florence

6)Florence

7)Florence to Rome ( I've already been to Rome previously but will pick up my fiancé here)

8)Rome to Naples then Ferry to Ischia

9)Ischia

10)Ferry to Capri

11)Capri

12)Ferry to Positano

13)Positano

14)Positano

15)Positano

16)Sorrento

17)Sorrento to Naples Depart home

Thanks for any suggestions and advice. Was wanting to hike around Cinque Terre for the day at some point but was unsure if it was worth the effort since the train takes a long time to get there. Thanks

I have read that one of the corona measures in Italy is that the capacity of the trains (and maybe other public transport) is limited to 50% of full capacity. This also applies to the regional trains ?

I'm planning to be in Liguria next month an want to walk around Cinque Terre and visit by train from La Spezia, so can start in the morning at one village/station and end at another village/station. Maybe also take a regional train into Genoa.

We will be Italy for 2 weeks. We will be traveling from Rome to Sienna (one day), Florence , Venice and back to Rome. Is it better to get a pass for the trains for the duration or buy the train tickets individually? Thank you.

Hi there,

If anyone could help with the following, we would be hugely grateful!

My partner, our very active and walking/ climbing/ running 14 month old anc me need to spend a night in Rome in mid-July. We will be coming via train from Florence some time on aSunday and taking a flight out of Rome on Monday lunch time. We are looking for somewhere with easy access to the station, but also somewhere that might provide a little bit of luxury and a treat for the final night of our trip. We imagine it maybe too hot to see much of the city with our toddler (and we will only have the afternoon) so wondered if there was a hotel that was set up to receive families or couples with children - or if anyone has had a really good hotel experience in central Rome they can recommend!

We usually stay in Airbnb’s or camp, so this is new for us.

Our budget is around 200 euro of the one night, give or take.

Thanks in advance

(Oh, and we are up to date on all the necessary covid tests/ quarantines as well as being fully vaccinated)

We are headed to Italy in September for a wedding in Amalfi. We are staying in Rome for 2 days before heading down there and we’ll stay there for 4 nights as she has 3 events planned. We are leaving Amalfi on the 14th back to Rome for another 3 days before we fly out. My question is there a day trip recommendations on our way back to Rome? We are planning on taking the ferry to Salerno and than train to Rome. We will have our luggage with us. Any recommendations are appreciated.

We'll be landing in Rome and renting a car in mid-July, which we have done many times in the past. It's generally the most painful part of our trip -- you're so exhausted from landing, it's hot and you're sitting in that terribly depressing oddly shaped room with a bunch of other grumpy exhausted people waiting a ridiculous amount of time while people fill out enough paperwork to gain a mortgage in order to rent a car.

My question is, are any of them faster/more efficient than the others? I think SixT usually has the best prices, but we'd pay more if it meant getting through there faster. One year we were told to go to the train station instead (we had stayed in Rome first and then spent a week elsewhere). That was a two hour wait for a car as well, so don't believe the hype about it being better there.
