How effectively use The Italian Railways I will present in two texts. Below the first one dedicated to the fastest trains – Le Freccie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le Freccie are divided into three types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frecciabianca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
White arrow. The slowest of the high-speed trains. It operates on routes from Reggio di Calabria and Lecce in the south, up to Torino, Milan and Udine in the north. The train moves at a maximum speed of 200km\/h and 250km\/h depending on a configuration. Don’t be surprised, the route still have sections where train slows below 140km\/h. The advantage of the train is the lack of frequent stops and friendly service like in polish Inter City trains.<\/p>

I must say it’s a very nice train :)We had the opportunity to travel this type of fast train from Bari to Rome. We decided on this train for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some handful of raw data. The train moves at a maximum speed of 250km\/h. Don’t be surprised, the route from Bari to Rome still have sections where train slows below 100km\/h! As in the case of Frecciabianca tickets on this type of train are only available with seat reservation and are divided into class 1th and 2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traveling experience is fantastic! The first pleasant surprise was not so much difference in the ticket price between 2nd and 1st class. Initially, I was determined to buy a seat in 2nd class, but the hardships of travel in the form of carrying each 32 kg bags and 10 kg backpack, meant that over the economy won convenience, which large part of influenced has seats with reclining mechanism and comfort in carrying suitcases in a carriage (the first class has seats in a 2 + 1 module in cross section, and the 2nd has 2 + 2, which significantly reduces the width of the transition between the seats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below presentation of the first-class carriage.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Steward, who supports the carriage, spreads daily newspapers and coffee, tea, juices and snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n I would like to add, that the bar was really tasty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Red arrow. The fastest of the Italian trains and at the same time our first experience with an Italian Pendolino. We had the opportunity to travel in Standard Class on the route from Rome to Naples. Traveling on the route Termini Roma – Napoli Centrale takes only 70min.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Time for a handful of raw facts. The train moves at a maximum speed of 400 km\/h on the way to Naples speed was 302 km\/h. The train is divided into four classes: Standard – nice when you have a small luggage, that you can put on the overhead storage, luggage rack is provided separately, also has special space between some seats. Point is the lack of seats with reclining mechanism and a narrow passage between the seats in 2nd class 2 + 2, which in practice makes it very difficult to move with a large, two-wheeled suitcase, but it would not be no problem with the “four-wheeled” suitcase carried sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Frecciarossa also offers classes of passengers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All Le Frecce, both in the first and second class, have sockets near seats to charge your phone, tablet or laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, on our way from Rome to Naples, and from Bari to Rome Wi-Fi in a carriage was not available. Tickets can be purchased in two ways: at the station and on the Internet. In this post I will describe buying a ticket at the station. Case study of purchase a ticket over the Internet I will present in the second text about traveling with a trains along Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tourists can use the three fare tickets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n and a lot of promotions i.e. 2×1 and 3×2 which are available for Saturdays and Sundays travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, at the train station ticket can be purchased at the box office labeled “Le Frecce” and in the ticket machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We chose an automatic machine. Ticket machine is almost identical to those which are available on the Polish railway stations. Switch language to English, and the machine takes us almost by the hand. Finally we confirm the entered data, choose the payment method: credit card, or cash (banknotes shouldn’t be creased and crumpled because the machine can spit them out, then you should straighten creases, especially the corners of the note), then pick up a ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A ticket for La Freccia is printed for each passenger separately and includes a seat. Frecciarossa is quite different from ordinary trains, both in terms of travel comfort and time spent in it. Personally, I would recommend this type of train, especially when is combined with low-cost airlines. The cost of a ticket of low-cost airline at the regular price (not to mention the promotional prices of tickets for 19 z\u0142, 49 z\u0142 or 119 z\u0142), together with the purchase of a ticket for Le Frecce is much lower than the standard airlines, trains are fast, really run frequently. They combine Bologna, Milan and Rome with all major urban centers in the north and the south of the country. Therefore, when someone asks: Frecciarossa, is it worth it? I’ll answer definitely YES!<\/p>\nFrecciargento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few words about the restroom. Honestly, I was surprised almost exemplary purity and the fact, that the first-class carriage service regularly, every 40 minutes cleaned and refresh the place.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"4\"](\"https:\/\/italia-by-natalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/4-1.jpg\")

Despite the higher prices on a long routes I recommend the first class in trains types Frecciargento and Frecciabianca and class Premium or Business in Frecciarossa.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to buy a ticket?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
