ITALY BY TRAIN

Italy's high speed train Freccia Rossa

Milan - Rome in 3.5 hours with new Italian high speed train

The Italian high speed line which  was inaugurated last December, connects the major Italian cities and runs from Turin (Piedmont) to Salerno (Campania) via Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples. 

The new high speed train, the Frecciarossa (Red Arrow), reaches a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. The train ride from Milan to Rome is thus only 3.5 hours. Next year this will further reduced to only 3 hours.

A ticket Milan-Rome costs about € 67.50 (appr. 90 US dollars).
