Travelling around Italy on Intercity couldn't be easier thanks to its vast network and helpful onboard policies. Here are some Intercity train tips to know before you board:

  • Intercity Bar

    Feel a bit peckish or simply want a break? Then head over to car number 3 where you'll find the Area Ristoro (refreshment area) where you'll find vending machines serving a selection of sweet and savoury snacks - including gluten-free and lactose-free options. These machines accept cash and cards for your convenience and there's also a seating area.

  • Family Area

    Your kids will love the Family Area - a dedicated carriage for little ones with colourful Disney-inspired interiors and table games to help them pass the time. You can reserve seats in this carriage by choosing Second Class Easy and selecting carriage 3 when booking your Intercity tickets.

  • Accessibility

    Passengers who use a wheelchair and those with reduced mobility will be pleased to know there is reserved seating for them and their companions onboard Intercity trains. You'll also find accessible toilets. Special assistance is also available - just be sure to call the Trenitalia call centre before you travel to reserve.

  • Intercity luggage allowance

    One of the greatest things about travelling on Intercity trains is that there's no weight or piece limit for your luggage. Your bags simply need to fit in the designated space and not obstruct the aisles. Remember to keep an eye on them, too - you are responsible for your belongings at all times.

  • Children

    There's a 50% discount on Intercity tickets for children under 15 years of age. Plus, if you have a child under the age of 4 and you're happy to share a seat with them, they travel for free. Don't forget to look out for other Trenitalia specials for families - they're all available and automatically applied here on TrainPal.

    Pets are allowed on Intercity trains - they're welcome with open paws. Small furry friends can travel for free as long as they fit in a carrier of 70 x 30 x 50 cm. Bigger pets can also board, but their humans will need to pay a fee of €1 (approx. £0.86) on Saturdays and €5 (approx. £4.30) on other days. You'll need the registration certificate and health booklet, too.

  • Bikes

    If you're planning to explore Italy on 2 wheels, you'll be thrilled to learn that you can travel on Intercity trains with bikes. Foldable bikes are free. You just need to break it down and store it in a bag with your luggage. For ordinary bikes, there's a fee of €3.50 (approx. £3) that you add when booking.
