| Rome: Getting There by Train or Bus If you decide you don't want to fly into Rome, you can also get there by train or bus. Within Italy, the train system is frequent and fairly affordable if a bit crowded. Of course, it is also pretty easy to get to other European countries from Rome as well. Certainly, it takes longer but if you have the time the vistas shouldn't be missed. TRAIN: Trenitalia offers comprehensive service both within Italy and to many other European hubs. In fact, you can now purchase tickets online for many international destinations. Check out their site for schedules, pricing (remember that Italy is on the Euro now) and traveling ideas. Fares are reasonable and the trains are pretty fast, but definitely keep an eye on your belongings (this is true for any mode of traveling, but especially important on trains.) BUS: Eurolines connects with Rome from Venice, Milan and Florence, as well as many other major European cities. If you have lots of time to see more of Europe, consider their Pass, which is much cheaper than a Railpass, to see a few different cities. What's your favorite cheap way to get to Rome?
