How much is a rail ticket from Milan Centrale to Verona? And can I buy it from the station? websites vague!!?

Answer 1

The Eurostar is the quickest train between Milan and Verona and takes 1 hour 22 minutes. The cost is €18 1st class and €13 second class. Other trains are slightly longer and sometimes slightly cheaper. Eurostar is more comfortable though, and you can reserve your seat.
You can buy the ticket from the station, or in fact any other Italian railway station. I would recommend buying from the automatic machines in Milan station - you can change the language into English and take as much time as you want, rather than being rushed in the queue for a salesperson.

Becareful with Laura M's anwer there about checking the site for times. I learned the hard way when I was over there that the times on the website are not if ever always teh same. Platforms and times change there all the time due to conditions and what have you. If you get a Europass that may help. But you almost always need a reservation to the populated train destination. Don't make the mistake of not going to the ticket booth and not gettign a Res. They have carts that don't need them but most of those seats fill up quick and most of the times you don't know which cart they are. Oh yeah. on the regional trains that you may assume that your Europass may cover it. Don't bet on it. I had a conductor tray and shake me down because I didn't have a erservation. he said, "no Reservation?" I said, "Well I couldn't find a ticket booth, I thought this was regional doesn't my pass cover this?" "No! Reservation is 9 Euros!" "well can I buy a reservation for you?" I asked. "No I'll have to give you a ticket." "geez how much is the ticket?" I asked. "85 euros." And he hands out his hand for me to pay. "Well I don't have 85 Euros. I have 10 Euros.." I said. "Let me have your passport.." then I bacame worried... handing over my passport was not a good thing. But he took it wrote down something and said "I'll send ticket to George Bush!" and he left. So moral of the story kids get a Reservation no matter what train.

You'll find the price info on the Trenitalia web site but before you do that, I suggest you use the German Rail site, which is better at providing the DETAILS as to whether or not there are supplements or required reservations on particular trains:

When you've selected the trains that are best for your needs, you can price the ticket on Trenitalia: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index2.html

You can buy the ticket in most train stations (only the really tiny ones do not have ticket agents). The big stations will have English speaking agents. The best way is to print out what you want to buy from the Trenitalia site and hand it to the agent.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

Forget all this detail mumbo jumbo. Taking trains in Italy is not like taking them in the U.S. Just show up at the Milano train station and buy a ticket-trains to Verona run constantly. It's a breeze! And inexpensive.

Answer 5

Of course you can buy your ticket from the station, although better to buy it previous to departure date or you might find you're in a long queue and loose your train. Train times are usually spot on, but yes do check. Italian trains are cheaper and cleaner than British ones, enjoy your trip.

Answer 6

In Italy there are fast train (Intercity IC), very fast train (Eurostar ES) and no fast train (Interregionali IR or Regionali R). The price is different.

You can check every price on this website:http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html

You can buy on line or from the statione, as you like.

Sometimes is possible to buy very cheeper tickets, but only online.
