Getting TO/AROUND: On our last trip to Rome we flew into Fiumicino Airport and decided that the easiest way to get into town was by train.

You can catch the train from the terminal, direct non-stop to Rome Termini Station.

The train goes every half an hour and takes around 30 mins. It cost us about 8 euros oneway.

Just remember to validate your ticket in the yellow machine on the platform before boarding your train.

We found it an easy and stress free way to get into town.

Getting TO/AROUND: I have now been to Italy several times and each time have travelled around this fabulous country by train.

Once you get the hang of it, train travel in Italy is easy. It is also a great way to see the beautiful countryside on the way to your next destination.

I have travelled a couple of times using a rail pass, but the last couple of visits have just purchased tickets for each individual trip as we went.

That said, we often have purchased tickets a day or two in advance - particularly if the particular train requires a seat reservation, or if it is a busy time of year.

Purchasing a little in advance also means that you don't miss the train you want to catch due to a huuuuuge queue for tickets...

Last trip we used the automatic ticket machines at the stations and found them excellent.

Also, I have travelled both first and second class, and didn't really find much difference - travel second class and you can use the extra money to buy more wine/food etc

Just remember with all tickets that you need to validate them in the small yellow ticket machines before you board your train.
