Travelling Around
The national airline Alitalia and other operators offer internal flights to over 30 destinations in Italy, however, domestic air travel can be costly and is probably worth it only if you are really short of time.
Italy has the excellent network of relatively cheap bus and train services and it is a great way of seeing the country.
If you want to see more of the real Italy, renting a car is a great way of getting off the beaten track. Roads are generally good throughout the country, and there is an excellent network of freeways, although you do have to pay tolls.
The rail system is well connected, nearly half of the services are electric and there are a multitude of discount fares available making it a cheap and comfortable way of getting around the country.
Bus travel is the less expensive than train, but buses are fast and reliable, whether they are traversing local routes linking small villages or zooming along autostrade between cities. They also service destinations not serviced by the trains.
