Tickets and fares
Fares are advertised from €19.90 and rise closer to departure. Every ticket includes a reserved seat, and pass holders must book a reservation.
Standard has 2+2 seats. Premium has the same space with leather seats and a welcome drink. Business has 2+1 seats, more room and a snack. Executive has only 8 to 10 large seats, meals and lounge access.
How to book
Book on trenitalia.com or the Trenitalia app. Agencies such as Trainline also sell tickets and let you compare with Italo.
There is no check-in. Find your train on the departures board, which also shows where Business and Executive cars stop. Doors can close a minute or two before departure.
Tips for travellers
Some Business cars are Silenzio quiet cars, which suit travellers who want calm.
You carry your own luggage. Backpacks fit overhead, and large suitcases go on racks at the ends of each car. On busy trains these fill fast, so board early with big bags.
Italian sockets are often the narrow type, so bring an adapter if your plug is round and thick.
Seats can change direction at end stations such as Florence, so a forward-facing seat may become backward-facing.
If you travel with a big family, book seats early so you sit together. Executive and Business cars are at one end of the train, so check the board before you walk down the platform.
Last checked: October 2026. Fares and timetables change, so confirm on the official website before you travel.
