On the Rome–Milan route, compare the full journey and fare, not just the advertised journey time. In large cities, the exact station affects the journey time to your address.
Before you buy
Check the available offers from Trenitalia and Italo for your chosen date. Compare stations, times, travel class and change policies. A ticket from one operator should not be used on another’s network without confirmation. If the price difference is small, consider which option leaves you with more time to spend in the city.
On the day of travel
Make a note of your carriage and seat number. Before departure, check the departure board and the station once more. When travelling to the airport from Milan, do not assume that a high-speed train ticket constitutes a complete airport transfer: you will need to allow separate time and plan a route to the terminal.
Checking your ticket
Once booked, check the passenger details, date, stations and all included sections. Save the full boarding document offline. Prices and timetables are not specified in this guide: you’ll need to check the latest options with the operator for your specific date.
