Far by Rail

Italy by train

Frecciarossa and Italo on the fast spine, Alpine panoramic lines at the northern border, and island and volcano railways that run at their own pace.

Italy holds two competing high-speed operators on the same city pairs, which is unusual enough to be worth planning around, and a long tail of narrow-gauge and preserved lines that have nothing to do with getting anywhere quickly.

The Alpine group below includes services that cross into Switzerland; they appear on both country pages because their published route does.
