Untold Italy · Friday, July 10, 2026
For intercity train routes in Italy, booking tickets about two months in advance is recommended to secure the best prices and options. The train timetable is updated every six months, which can affect booking availability.
“If you're traveling by train and you want to go on the big intercity routes between say Rome and Florence or Venison, it's good to book about two months out.”
“I think you can get the best prices and then you can also have options.”
“The I like to go business class. It's only a few more euros and you get a little bit more space, but you'll have more options, and just on that. With the trains, I had a few emails, Oh, I can't book any trains for September because and in early June. And that's because every six months in Italy and in Europe they turn over the timetable, so a lot of trains weren't able to be booked in June.”
