Italia rail	from €49 approx
Italia rail Guide Italiarail lives up to its name by selling tickets for rail journeys within Italy and the core feature of its service is that it is primarily designed to be used by international visitors to Italy. So the English translations of place names are used when looking up journeys and the terms and conditions for using each type of ticket are clearly explained. It also clearly points out the additional costs of upgrading to other classes and types of tickets while spelling out the additional benefits of doing so. Though Italiarail will charge a booking fee, typically of around €3. The Early Bird service Italiarail has launched an 'early bird' pre-booking service for journeys by Frecce trains. Tickets can be booked up to a year ahead of travel at a flat-rate price per route, before the tickets have been released for sale by Trenitalia. If when they are placed on sale, the price is cheaper than what you have already paid to Italiarail, it will automatically refund the price difference. Conversely, if the price is more expensive, you won't be charged the price difference. You can also have the peace of mind of securing your seat(s) on the Frecce train(s) when you are first planning a trip. If before the tickets are placed on sale, you decide to change your plans, you can request a refund; but once the tickets are released for sale, you will then be bound by the terms and conditions of the ticket(s) you have booked.

Good to Know

Prior to the pandemic there were up to four trains per day from Milano to Trieste, so hopefully the reduction to only one daily train is temporary.

If you want to depart from Milano later in the day, most of the trains to Venezia S. Lucia have good connections from there into Regionale trains on to Trieste.

Approaching Trieste the railway reaches the coast

The spectacular arrival into Trieste

If you're on the left of the train (when facing the direction of travel) keep a look out before Desenzano for a fleeting, incredible view of Lake Garda.
But for the final 30 mins of the journey there are frequent sea views from the right hand side of the train.

The only high speed part of the trip is that between Milano and Brescia when the train will travel at more than 250 km/h for only 20 minutes
