Looking for Italy train schedules, and methods to purchase point-to-point train travel. We're looking at four to five trips, at least four high-speed. Does the pass get you the high speed trains? (I think not)
It appears that there are various companies for the actual travel, and other aggregators.
Which are the best sources for information?
Grazi,
 
I would suggest you go direct to the train company - Trenitalia and check schedules and cost there. Website is https://www.trenitalia.com/

The only other competitor for long distance travel (joining main cities across Italy) is Italo, so also check there to compare costs for the same cities: https://www.italotreno.it/en

When are you planning to travel? I ask because Trenitalia does not let you buy tickets far ahead, just about 2 months prior. So schedules for say November might not show up because of that, just put dates for a few weeks ahead of now to see them.

Hello Discover Tuscany.....
Looking for advice on train travel.....into and out of Siena. We are coming to Siena on June 19, staying until the morning of June 22, 2024.

This I know .... I think I know? From Rome.....I can take a high speed train from Roma Termini to Chiusi? then a regional train to Siena? Or do I take a high speed train from Roma Termini to Firenze SM Novella? then a regional train from Firenze to Siena? Which would be better?

I also know Trentalia has NOT released schedules yet for June. Not sure when?

Now....leaving Siena......I have a challenge......We are going from Siena.....to our next destination of Lake Como....staying in Como.
I'm assuming regional back up to Firenze SM.....then what? High Speed from Firenze to Milan? then regional from Milan to Como?

Any and all suggestions please!

Michael

PS Do the regional trains I speak of have names? Or can I book these through Trentalia? Or another app? Also, please talk to me about "validating tickets".....horror stories about tourist forgetting to validate and big fines!
