From Italy to Europe, the train is the way to go
In 2023, more than 3 million passengers took a train to travel over the Italian border: a clear indication that Europeans prefer to choose sustainable transport.
Thanks to Eurocity trains, European capitals are now just a stone’s throw away. It has never been easier to reach Switzerland: Berne, Basel, Geneva, Lausanne, Lucerne, Lugano, Zurich, Montreux. Every day, up to 40 Eurocity trains link Italy with the main Swiss cities. The services are run by Trenitalia in collaboration with the Swiss railways, SBB, and the German railways, DB. Eurocity trains are not the only international services: passengers using Euronight trains can leave the main Italian cities and reach their destination the following morning after a relaxing journey.
The Euronight trains, which feature Nightjet coaches, are run by Trenitalia in cooperation with the Austrian railways ÖBB. Every evening, a train leaves from Rome/Ancona and a second from La Spezia bound for Vienna, Salzburg and Munich.
