Moving around in Italy - transportation
In large cities such as Rome or Milan, you will meet an underground metro. Statistics show that the Roman metro carries an average of more than 3 million passengers daily. The quality of the subway is also at a very high level, equipped with all necessary security measures, paying great attention to the comfort of passengers waiting and traveling by metro. Rome’s city subway has two lines, just like that of Milan. The railway infrastructure is also at a very high level. The total length of railways is more than 15,000 kilometers. Of this number, about 1,000 kilometers are high-speed tracks. It should be noted that all the large cities are connected by direct rail routes. If you plan a trip to a remote province, then, most likely, transfers during the trip cannot be avoided. The government pays much attention to the safety of movement along the railway track.

Please note that all long-distance trains are divided into first and second class, and the cost of tickets varies significantly.
