At long last Trenitalia have come up with a good value nationwide rover ticket for foreigners. The above-named pass is now available in various categories and is effectively a multi-trip pass for different numbers of days, different classes of travel and different age groups of passengers. As with most things Italian, it's quite complicated and it's worth bearing in mind that it's NOT valid on regional trains, being obviously targeted at tourists travelling between major centres....so no use for bashing obscure branch lines, I'm afraid. It is valid on all Freccia services, Intercity, Intercity Night services and Italy-Switzerland Eurocity services for journeys wholly within Italy. Seat/sleeper/couchette reservations are mandatory....but free of charge and the pass has to be activated within eleven months from the date of purchase.
Passes can be purchased for 3 journeys within 7 consecutive days, 4 journeys within 7 consecutive days, 7 journeys within 15 consecutive days or 10 journeys within 30 consecutive days. In case of journeys involving connecting train services, each leg of the journey will count as a separate journey (e.g. Torino-Napoli with a change in Milano will be two journeys). However a Frecciarossa journey from Roma to Matera (for example) - changing onto the 'Freccialink' connecting coach service at Napoli or Salerno - will count as one journey.
The three different passenger age categories are Adult (28-59 years old at time of purchase), Youth (12-27 years old at time of purchase) and Senior (60+ years old at time of purchase)
The three different comfort categories are Easy (valid in second class seats and couchettes only), Comfort (valid in First/Business class seats, T2 & T3WL sleepers, plus the lower categories if no appropriate places free) and Executive (valid in Executive class on Frecciarossa services, first class only on Intercity services and all couchettes and sleepers except for Excelsior class). All three categories are valid on 'Freccialink' connecting luxury coach services as part of a through journey.
Prices start from 129 Euro and go up to 594 Euro. For full details in English, go to www.trenitalia.com
