The train is the most efficient and cost effective mode of transportation in Italy.
While planning your trip, go to the Trenitalia website, www.tenitalia.it. Simply type in your starting and ending destination and the date, and it will give you the train time schedule for that day and the length of time that it will take.
This is great information to print out and take with you on your trip for a reference and also useful as a tool to purchase a ticket should you be in a situation with a language barrier.
First class travel is approximately one-third more in cost than second class. First class is best to use on a longer rides and also on the Eurostar, one of the fastest trains in the Italian train system.
This is also a great way to soak in the local culture since Italians are the most frequent users of the transit system.
NOTE: If you purchase an open ticket on a regional train (no seating assignment) you HAVE to validate the ticket in order to avoid a LARGE FINE!!! Validate the ticket in something that looks like this!!
