Hi Ignacio, thanks so much for your kind comments and for watching!

[@secretstoasafestressfreetr1286]

Great video! It helped us plan our travel to Italy in a few months. Thank you for sharing your experience. Happy traveling.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Awesome, so glad you found the video helpful. Have a great trip!

[@thetravelingstewarts]

Train rides are so fun! Thanks for giving us a better idea of what to expect in Italy, if we ever go.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Ann & Cory, thanks for watching and happy to hear you enjoy trains as much as we do!

[@coreylagen8976]

Thank you so much! This will be my first time on an Italian train and the unknown was scary

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Corey, you are most welcome. You have nothing to worry about, the experience is very fun. Have a great time!

Absolutely excellent. You provided all of the information that we needed to plan our September train travel throughout Italy. Thanks!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Dumasboy, so glad to hear that the video was useful for you. Thanks for watching and have a great trip!

[@paulpadilla8553]

Nice and beautiful trip guys 🙂🤗

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching Paul!

[@russ320]

First of all the both of you are super nice and very through and answering everything. Great job. One question that is not train related. I will travel solo to Italy in March 2023. I am 65 but very mobil. Can you wing hotel or motels and book easy if I decide to stay in a particular city and is it easy to pull around a wheeled 22" luggage? Thanks,

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi RD! We're glad you're finding our information useful. Thanks for your kind words 😀 Sounds like you've got a great trip planned. We were in Italy in mid to late February and we generally only booked our accommodation a day or two in advance. Winging it through Italy in March is certainly possible. Regarding whether it's easy to pull around wheeled 22" luggage, that will depend on the places you're visiting. A lot of areas in Italy are very hilly, and some places might be have narrow cobblestone streets. Another thing to consider is whether your accommodation, train stations etc have a lift and whether you're ok with navigating flights of stairs with a suitcase. We have travelled carry on only for almost a decade, and we doubt we'd ever go back to checked in luggage. It's much easier to get around, you don't risk having your luggage lost or delayed by the airlines and you save on baggage fees. We'd highly recommend considering switching to carry on only as it really is a game changer for travel. If however you do prefer having luggage, we'd suggest watching walking tour videos or looking at google streetview for the areas you're interested in to get a feel for the terrain. Happy travels! Jay and Jon

[@mariaelenafrias6679]

Thank you for the information. You did not touch any information regarding baggage. How does that work? Thank you!!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Maria, good point! You can take on board as much baggage as you like as it is all free.

[@MelissaCampbell-b6j]

I see that you travelled from Venice to Trieste. Is there plenty of room for luggage? Or does it need to be small luggage??

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, we thought that there was plenty of room for luggage. the overhead compartment would comfortably fit luggage that you would check in at the airport. We recall that there were also designated areas for larger luggage at the ends of each carriage for a number of the trains we were on.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Excellent details, so helpful thank you so much. It can be challenging traveling abroad on a train. I give it 5 buckets for value! The trains seemed clean and modern! (Funny you’ve used the same song we used in our Amsterdam video 😂). Again fantastic job guys! ~Cara 😊

[@BucketListTravellers]

😂😂 5 buckets, love it! Yeah the trains were really comfy and so cheap too relative to Australia and the US. What can I say, we both have great taste in music!😜 - Jon

[@henrysteppel2031]

Good information BLT!. Trains and all the system, stations etc are quite the same here in Germany. As a matter of fact, traveling by train is my favorite transportation option. I am happy you enjoyed Venezia!! Cheers BLT 👍👍🎉

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks Henry! Yes, Germany's trains are impressive and we got to experience them for ourselves back in 2010! They are always in time, which is not what can be said about trains in Sydney!

[@marklivingstone3710]

I’ve been to Italy 3 times. I have used rail travel to travel to Bologna, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Milan and Rome. My advice is to allow extra time for travel to allow for trains not running to schedule, cancelled trains, breakdowns and so on. I do not recommend risking the train from Rome to DaVinci Airport. The train I was on broke down, was towed to the nearest station, we disembarked and waited 90 minutes for a new train. Arrived at the airport to hear our aircraft was already boarding. I had left Rome 3 hours before our scheduled departure and only just made it.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Oh wow, that would have been very stressful! We always aim to get to the airport 3 hours beforehand, just to make sure we allow for time for unexpected hold ups/

[@nicdstef]

As in Italian, it's refreshing to hear foreigners speak positively about our train services, as Italians are always overly critical and negative about all things Italian.

[@BucketListTravellers]

You're welcome Nic! Italians should experience Australian trains first if they feel like complaining about train services! Our services in Sydney are not as good as what we experienced in Italy and we don't have high speed trains either. Then again US trains are even worse and twice as expensive!

[@nicdstef]

@@BucketListTravellers funny you should mention that, because I have some experience with trains in Melbourne. 🤣 Anyway, your content is really informative and extremely helpful for tourists. Compliments. 👍

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@nicdstef 🤣🤣. To be fair, the trains in Aus aren't that bad, Europe is just soo much better. Thanks very much for your kind words!

[@KattieMetChris]

As always, just a fantastic amount of information guys! Wish we would have had this BEFORE our visit to Italy 🤣🤣 WE totally concur with the number 1 tip USE THE BATHROOM BEFORE YOU GET OFF THE TRAIN! 🤣🤣🤙🤙❤❤

[@BucketListTravellers]

🤣🤣 You don't need the additional toilet anxiety when travelling! Thanks for watching Kattie and Chris!

[@rinnojack3127]

Hi i'm italian, just a clarification on the pricing of ticket. On regional and regionale veloce train services the price are fixed you pay the same amount even 5 minutes before departure. On faster (like frecce, intercity and italo) or higher class type train, yes, they have dynamic pricing.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Rinno, thanks very much for the clarification, much appreciated!

[@jatinkumardesai583]

Can one travel from Milan to Venice and also also after few days from Venice to Rome,by trenitalia and book ticket on line ,on or trainline application,as this is my planned journey in June 23.kindly guide me.Regards .thanks for your very informative vedio.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Jatinkumar, yes this is definitely possible. We traveled the train route from Milan to Venice and it was really pleasant. You could even get the bullet train from Venice to Rome in 4 hours if you want! Thanks for watching and have a great trip.

[@seandonovan6218]

Hello! Just wanted to verify with you and I'm sure it is different at different stations. We did online tickets from big terminals like Roma termini to Venice etc.. you stated we do NOT have to get tickets validated correct? Do you just like scan your barcode/show the conductor?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Sean, thanks for watching. If you purchase on trainline for a regional train then you shouldn't need to validate as you will be given a specific date and time. If you bought a ticket that doesn't specify the time or says 'print this ticket's, then you will need to validate it before you board. The reason for validating is because the tickets generally bought at stations are open tickets for up to 6 months, so validating prevents the misuse of the tickets. We found a link for more info for you www.italiarail.com/booking-basics/what-does-it-mean-validate-rail-ticket-or-rail-pass

[@tjr-007tt]

I’m going to Italy next month. You mentioned a certificate needed to board the train because of Covid. Is that still necessary and how do you go about getting that? Is my vaccination card good enough?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Tj R, we did this video at the start of 2022 and requirements were different back then. We don't believe you need a certificate any more, however it is worth doing a quick google search just to be on the safe side. Thanks for watching and enjoy your trip.

[@fionbarbarella8642]

Thank you for the introduction about travelling to italy by train. I had a very important question to ask. I am a Singaporean and is planning to travel Italy in Nov 2022. May I know how to apply for a Covid certificate ( Green Pass )?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Fion, thanks for watching. The good news is that you don't need a green pass anymore to enter the country. There is more information here for you: italygreenpass.com/

[@VillageNature285]

Very good 👍

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching!

[@edoardomenegazzo6746]

Paying to use the bathroom is a very European thing. I’ve never see that elsewhere in the world.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Yeah, it is very foreign to us as all public toilets in Australia are free to use. Thanks for watching!

[@dionysus4778]

are they picky about specific masks in the train? I thought as long as you wear mask, everything is fine. I didn't know you need specific masks to get on the train.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Diony Sus. The situation may have changed by now, but when we visited Italy at the start of 2022, we were told we needed to wear the N95 masks everywhere, especially on public transport. The majority of people complied with this too.

[@caracre]

hi. what is the Train App I should download? "and App"

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for watching. We used trainline when purchasing tickets, you can use it either on computer or mobile by following this link: bit.ly/BucketListTravellers-TrainlineItaly. What we liked about using the website was that you could see when prices were cheapest for your planned route. You can also download the dedicated trainline application (the Trainline App) directly from the website if you access it from your mobile phone.

[@rscaht]

Trenitalia and Italo treno the apps of the two train operators in Italia are also very good .

[@CriticalThinker1967]

Nice trip but doesn’t explain how bit I only got a few minutes in before trying another guide

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Wayne thanks for watching. Is there anything in particular that we missed that you would have found helpful? We can improve on this for future videos.

[@CriticalThinker1967]

@@BucketListTravellers it’s my fault as well.. need to learn Nice, Genoa, Pisa, Venice, Rome, Naples, Athens and Cairo before we leave so just looking for the facts of getting from A to B and cost estimates. Others who are further along in planning and organisation would most likely just be chilling and enjoying these kind of vids in preparation for the trip. Wish there was like this series of “no nonsense guides to getting from A to B with prices”

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you for watching!

[@fralucalii]

There is an error on your video: the dynamic prices are running only for high speed train! The regional trains (and also regionale veloce) has a fixed price based on the distance you have to travel: no matter if you buy the ticket 10 days or 10 min before. Indeed, the dynamic price is related only to high speed train since the price is connected to the availability of seats onboard, and the reserved seats are possible only on high speed trains (Freccie or Italo).

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for clarifying fralucalii!

[@branc2658]

As an Italian I don't understand why Americans are so surprised to pay one euro to find clean bathrooms in the stations, but let restaurants extortionate them with enormous tips to waiters.

[@BucketListTravellers]

We don't get that either! Btw, we're Australian in case you didn't know. Thanks for watching!

Tip: you will get tons of view's if you come to 🇮🇳. India

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, thanks for the tip! India was our first overseas trip together and it has a special place in our hearts. It would be great to explore in more detail.
