Wow, this article is so coincidentally timely. I'm going to Italy for the first time next month and will be making 3 train journeys while there. Thanks for reassuring me that booking in advance was the way to go!
I’m so glad you found this useful! And if you have any questions ahead of your trip, send ‘em my way. I’m always happy to receive questions and feedback from readers.
Great article as usual! We will take the train to Verona from Florence in June -to see “Aida” at the Verona Opera Festival. Prior to Verona we will get to see YOU! You inspire us to keep exploring your/our beloved Italy -by train, car, foot, boat, bicycle -all of it. 💕
hi , this article is so informative ! thank you so much !
I am going to Italy in September , I am wondering if the connecting bus can wait for a few minutes if my train is delayed, because the ticket is sold as one on Trenitalia ; the trip is from Rome to Buonconvento , one change at Grosseto , FrecciaBlanca 8616 from Rome terminal to Grosseto , then change to bus FI392 to Buonconvento ; in-between is 8 minutes , could you please give me some advices ? thank you !
Watch out for the Leonardo express train! I got a ticket there the other weekend. They are now making you do “online check in” for the ticket and I didn’t do it so I got a 50 euro ticket. I filed a complaint bc it seems like a total tourist trap.

That’s the new policy for all regional trains now. You have to check in online before the train leaves the station.
So annoying! Especially as I was running from my Napoli train which is Freccia to the Leonardo, with all my bags, I was so frazzled!
Ugh that is so frustrating!
