Trains

It is the most common intercity way of transport among Italians. You should visit website of http:\\www.trenitalia.it Trenitaliato see shedules and ticket availability. Be avare that you will be charged a high fine if you don't have a ticket to take a train and it is controled on the way by the ticketman. You'd better stamp it with one of the yellow machines around the platforms just before the trip. This is compulsory.

There are two ways to buy a ticket: one is to consult the ticket office (Biglitteria) and another is to use automats in the train stations. You are charged a little amount of extra price (like 50 cents) at ticket offices but purchase is free of charge at the automats. Automat can be a better choice for the newcomers for its english options and simply english speaking clerk is not guarantied in Italy. There sometimes is also a quick purchase option with automats which offers only the closest departure train tickets.
