The following is an excerpt from a press release issued by Rail Europe.
Italy’s railway network is as attractive as the country itself, offering an impressive high-speed system connecting Italy from North to South. As a result, rail travel has become increasingly popular within the country. The fleet of Frecciarossa trains makes the non-stop connection between Rome and Milan possible in just 2h 59m (this is 1h 27m faster than before the high-speed line was available).
The following table highlights the travel times for the top 10 most popular traveled routes by Eurail Pass holders in order of preference – Italian cities dominate the top 5 positions:

FLORENCE | ROME | 1hr 38m* |
