1) How to arrive in Italy? BY PLANE

Traveling by plane to Italy is easy, thanks to the wide range of flights present throughout the territory. There are several connections between cities, as well as air services from Rome and Milan to all Italian airports. There are almost forty medium and small airports in the country in all Italian regions (except Molise and Basilicata).

The main points of arrival, intercontinental and international, from Italy are: Leonardo da Vinci Airport – Rome Fiumicino and Malpensa Airport – Milan, but almost all the numerous Italian airports have international connections (especially with Europe). The offer of flights, either by traditional companies or by low-cost lines, is wide and covers a vast number of destinations. Italy is connected by air with most European nations and all continents.

2) How to arrive in Italy? BY TRAIN

The fascination of train travel never ends, especially if the goal is Italy. The existing services for traveling, day or night, between Italy and the rest of European countries, are characterized by high quality, short travel times, and excellent comfort. It is prudent (and sometimes required) to reserve seats.

Italy has an extensive rail network that links almost the entire national territory with a range of regional, intercity, and high-speed trains. Practically 95% of the operating lines are managed by Trenitalia, which guarantees more than 7.000 trains a day (and almost half of them run during rush hour).

Train Types in Italy

There are several types of trains: local, direct (DIR), regional (R), and intercity (IR) that stop at all intermediate stations. The fastest and longest-distance ones are Intercity (IC) and Eurostar (ES), which stop only in larger cities. Then there are the high-speed Eurostar Italia trains, the famous “Freccia Rossa,” which can reach a speed of 300 km per hour.

3) How to arrive in Italy? BY CAR

There are two main highways connecting Northern and Southern Italy: Autostrada del Sole (A1 road, which passes through Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome, and Naples) and Adriatica (A14 road, which connects Bologna, Ancona, Pescara, Bari, and Taranto).

Tolls

On highways, it is necessary to pay tolls. It is possible to make payments in cash or using a credit card. The European motorway network and the presence of several intersections simplify access to Italy by car or motorcycle. You can reach the peninsula from Austria, France, Switzerland, and Slovenia.

Main Crossings

The main entrance crossings open every year are: the Monte Bianco tunnel, that from Chamonix connects France to the A5 motorway to Torino and Milan; the Gran San Bernardo tunnel, which connects Switzerland—always with the A5 motorway, the Passo del Brennero, through Austria, which joins the A22 motorway towards Bologna. Alpine tunnels are usually closed in winter, and sometimes, also in autumn and spring, because of snow.
