Explore Italy by train this summer with Trenitalia

This summer, you can discover Italy, from the foothills of the Alps in the North down to the Ionian Sea in the South, with one of the 150 high-speed Frecce trains that Trenitalia are running daily.

You can also reach 230 cities around Italy with Trenitalia’s intercity trains. With so many to choose from, we recommend heading to a picturesque town such as Cattolica or Polignano a Mare for a relaxing holiday at the beach!

About Trenitalia

Trenitalia, Italy’s state-owned train company, allows you to travel from the very top of Italy right down to the toe. Spearheaded by its world-renowned high-speed Frecce trains (meaning arrow)—the Frecciargento and Frecciarossa can travel up to 155 mph and 186 mph, respectively—the company prides itself on providing a fast and efficient service. So, travelling from the foothills of the alps down to the depths of the Ionian Sea is always a streamlined experience with Trenitalia.

Trenitalia timetables: the new winter schedule starts on 15th December

From 15th December, the new Trenitalia timetable will come into effect—which provides increased daily departures of the Frecciarossa and Frecciargento high-speed trains and with extended coverage of the Intercity and Intercity Notte.
With Omio, you can already take a look at the timetables and prices of 84% of the entire Trenitalia offer—to start planning and booking train journeys over the holidays.
