European Railroad Discussion > Riding trains for Christmas in Italy 🇮🇹

A Southern Pacific fan riding trains in Italy this Christmas. Italo train I rode from Rome to Florence Italy Station on the Tran seen on the left. Very refreshing to see how the Italians embrace their trains.

Happy Holidays. Buon Natale.

Thanks for the photos -- and the memories. When I lived in Rome (2001-2007) I used public transportation a lot. I remember that a train trip from Florence (SMN) to Rome and then by bus to my home (near Piramide) took only two hours. Amazing! I think rail service has probably improved since I left. 
I bought a yearly pass good on all modes of transportation in and around Rome.When I left it was 256 Euros -- quite a bargain, I thought. It was also good on trains within certain limits.
