Getting TO/AROUND: I'm lifting this from my general Italy tips as Rome is a major rail hub... As is the case in most of Europe, trains are a primary mode of transportation in Italy and usually the easiest, most economical way to get from Point A to Point B. Because train travel is not so common in the US, figuring out how the system works can be a source of some anxiety for Americans taking their first trip by rail in a foreign country. Here's the good news: Trenitalia operates the vast majority of the country's rail system so the operation is usually very consistent. Stations in the major cities are well-staffed and you can usually find help. In many parts of Italy. like major cities and the Amalfi Coast, taking a train is MUCH less stressful than dealing with a car. And finally, in the course of digging around for tips prior to our Trenitalia shuttle from Rome to Naples, I ran across an excellent web site covering darn near anything you want to know about train travel in Italy, from buying tickets to understanding station signage. I'm passing it along with heartfelt thanks to Italian Slow Travel contributor, Alice Twain. Now if she just could have warned us about the bathrooms! On the site, click on Public Transportation/Trains in Italy, and have some fun surfing the other helpful categories for making the most of your Italian adventure!
