history and culture of Italy. Whether it is Da Vinci's Milan,
Romeo's Verona or Marco Polo's Venice, train travel in
Italy brings cultural ruins and excellent vintages at
every turn. Travelling south through the gastronomic paradise of
Tuscany, Umbria and of course Rome, one arrives in sunny Naples and
Sicily for an entirely different Italian flavour. Train
travel in Italy has never been more convenient as our
experienced advisors plan your journey from the UK and create a
detailed itinerary for when you arrive.
