Trains from Milan to Rome

At the far end of this route is the capital: the train from Milan runs the length of the peninsula to reach Rome, crossing the Po plain, the Apennines, Tuscany and the hills of Lazio before coming into Termini. It is the link between the country's commercial north and its political centre, taken by people on business, by visitors moving between the north and the ancient city, and by Italians going home. Arriving by rail puts you in the middle of Rome, a short walk from the Esquiline hill, instead of at an airport outside the ring road.

About the Milan to Rome train

Centrale, the great hall of a station north-east of the Duomo, is where trains for Rome leave Milan, and the metro reaches it from the centre. Tell the search the day and the size of your party and it comes back with what runs; the reverse route, Rome to Milan, is also covered, so plan the return as a separate look-up. Termini is on the eastern side of central Rome, with the metro lines meeting underneath and buses fanning out from the forecourt. The Colosseum and the Forum are a walk to the south-west, the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon further on towards the Tiber, and the Vatican across the river on the far side. Rome is spread over hills and the distances are longer than they look on a map, so the location of the hotel shapes the days. Rome's hotel catalogue is sampled on this page, with the search giving the rest by district. Near Termini is useful for a short stay; the centro storico or Trastevere suits a longer visit on foot.
