Eurostar, Italy’s fastest train

The Eurostar, which travels only by day and only stops in the most important Italian cities, is the fastest and most comfortable train in Italy. Reservations on the Eurostar are obligatory, but free.

There is a restaurant between the first and second class carriages. Eurostar trains have special compartments for your luggage – these compartments are not guarded, though.

Delays on the Eurostar

If a Eurostar train in Italy is delayed by more than one hour, you have a right to be reimbursed. This involves finding the special, hidden, office dealing with reimbursements, lining up there, filling out a form and then hoping that you erally get your money back. By this time you will at least two hours late in stead of at least one.

Outside Italy

The Eurocity and Eurocity Night trains travel on international routes and as soon as you leave Italy, the train tariffs of the countries you are traveling through will apply. You need to find out beforehand whether or not reservations are required for these trains.

Venere.com offers a full range of accommodation all over Italy, from luxury hotels to farm houses and cheap bed and breakfasts.
