Trains! Trenitalia vs. Italo, How and When to Book, and Discounts

<p>It&#39;s been about two years since we had a dedicated episode on trains in Italy, and given the fact that there have been some minor changes this year (including the fact that Trenitalia will be rolling out their Rome-Munich line next year!) plus some changes the to types of tickets and rolling stock themselves, we thought this week we should give it some attention! </p><p>We&#39;re talking about how and when to book tickets and standard discounts to look out for. &quot;Is it better to book online ahead of time or should I get my ticket at the station? Are trains in Italy usually on-time? What does &#39;Trenitalia&#39; or &#39;Italo&#39; even mean?&quot; We&#39;ll answer these questions and more in this episode.</p><p><br></p><p>For those of you who would like to peruse some articles, you can check out our posts on:</p><p><a href="https://www.onlyabag.com/post/is-trenitalia-better-than-italo" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The difference between Trenitalia and Italo</a></p><p><a href="https://www.onlyabag.com/post/is-trenitalia-the-same-as-italiarail" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The difference between Trenitalia and ItaliaRail</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you have any questions about your trip or if you have tips for fellow listeners, you can join our chat on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/theitalytravelpodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> for free or contact us on <a href="https://www.onlyabag.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠onlyabag.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>. </p><p><br></p><p>Want to support the podcast?
