Before boarding, you need to make up the ticket on the yellow punch machine (record the boarding time), otherwise even if you buy the ticket, it will be regarded as evasion. Italian ticket sellers are very polite at work, and foreigners who forget to make up their tickets when they get on the bus will often be lenient, but don't take any chances. In Italy, there will be ticket vending machines in railway stations, and generally six mainstream European languages can be used. Some can be paid by cash and credit card, and some can only be paid by credit card, which is more convenient if you don't want to queue up to buy tickets. In some big railway stations, there will be service points of all other institutions (such as hotels and travel agencies) and train tickets will be sold on a commission basis, but please confirm in advance whether there is a service charge for each service. In addition, staying up late in Italy is relatively dangerous, especially for girls who travel alone. Be sure to avoid taking the train at night. Traditionally, it is generally considered that the vicinity of the railway station is a dangerous area, so we must pay attention to the property safety and personal safety around the railway station.

Generally speaking, Italian trains are divided into three categories: Regionale (R), Intercity (IC) and EuroStar.

Among the three categories, R is the slowest, the carriage condition is the worst, but the fare is the cheapest. Trains stop at every station, fail to report, and are often late. After the delay, we have to make way for more advanced IC and Eurostar, so R is really slow, but it is also a good way to get familiar with local customs. Another point is that although R's car is in bad condition, it is sometimes divided into 1 and 2 cars. Never let the ticket seller find fault with the wrong carriage.

IC is a kind of train centered on all aspects. Its speed is not the fastest, and the interior environment is not the best, but the conditions in all aspects are better than R (local train). Sit down on the IC, or other passengers will protest to you. The stops are similar to domestic express trains, only stopping in some big cities. In most cases, the station will be reported.

You must have heard of Eurostar. The conditions in the car are slightly worse than those of the domestic Harmony, but the speed is not much slower. Eurostar, like IC, should sit down according to the seat number on the ticket. The stops and IC almost only stop in big cities, and each stop will announce the station. In addition, Eurostar has the highest driving level in Italy, so the probability of being late is also the lowest among the three types of trains.
