In-Depth Information
Italy operates several types of trains:
Regionale/Interregionale
Slow and cheap, stopping at all or most stations.
InterCity (IC)
Faster services operating between major cities.
Alta Velocità (AV)
State-of-the-art, high-velocity trains, including Frecciarossa, Frecciargento, Frecciabianca and Italo
trains. Speeds of up to 300km/hr and connections to the major Italian cities. More expensive than InterCity express
trains, but journey times cut by almost half.
