Discover Italy end Milan

The first day of arrival, the transport was not flexible with the pick up time of airport. Tour guide, Patricia, had no early posted itinerary for tour or introduction, expectation, rules, important information about tour. Left behind tourist under her care during the end of 1st day tour. She was late to start the tour, and never took count of the tourist she had under her care. On the way to Florence, Patricia left behind tourists , and placed them in danger. Luckily, the tourist had the proper connections with other people in tour to help them catch up with bus. The tour guide did not put safety first, and placed tourist under her care at risk. With several tourists complaining about the logistic thinking for the tour guide, Europamundo was able to switch all the non-spanish speaking tourist to new tour guide, Marsha. From then on, the tour turned around for the best. She introduced herself and driver, provided important details, rules, expectations about tour. She provided insightful information about each place we visited. She ensured that her group was not lost, and not left behind. She ensured for our safety. On the last day of tour she managed to fullfill my request to change the time of airport transfer to ensure we have enough time to get to airport and go through check in. Marsha made us feel safe to enjoy the tour. The accommodation are ok. Continental breakfast is ok. Tour buses in good condition and comfortable. Europamundo needs to imporve the tour guide to tourist proportion. 50 tourist is too much for 1 guide. If this is your first trip to a destination and/or not use to venturing on your own, do not use Europamundo. Tourradar and Europamunfo service is slow with replies. Europamundo Emergency does not provide quick response. Touradar insurance policy can't accommodate adding additional person ones a policy is purchased. Best to purchase the insurance policy else where. Overall, I give this tour 3.7

The Essential of Italy end Milan

Hello, I choose the tour Essential of Italy end Milan: I really enjoyed this tour. It was well organized and run: it went all smooth following the trip plan. Consider that you will enjoy busy days, with two/three stops and visits for each day and you have to walk a lot: please, wear comfortable shoes. Moreover, this is not a relaxing vacation: usually, you get up at 7.00-8.00 and check-in late in the evening (between 19.00 and 21.00) due to some delays. Sometimes it's not that convenint not to have a dinner option for the evening. I wish you nice trips all around the world! Stefania

We had a wonderful experience. The trains were on time and this way we saw a lot of Italy. The hotels were close to the stations. The hotel rooms were good except in Florence. It was very very small. In Milano the hotel was very far from any restaurants - that is the only negative. But thank you for making it a memorable holiday

What people love about rome to milan tours.

The instruction sometime is not clear The tour guide is not easily visible when is very crowded or raining with rain coat on Sometime due to the accent tour guide, mistake happened like 15 or 50 meeting places. If in paper even han hand written,we can take a picture to remember

My room at the first hotel in Rome (Ergife) was cold. Otherwise everything went as well as I could have expected. Someone I met during the trip felt that arriving at many of the cities occurred so late that it was dark and there wasn't any opportunity to see the sites. Considering the logistics of travel by bus, I'm not sure how that could have been avoided. Perhaps an option of travelling via Frecciarossa would be useful. One simple improvement would be adding information about the Hop-On buses in each city (especially Rome). I figured that out, but it could have been included on the flier and maybe I did not pick the best bus.

How to Travel from Rome to Milan by Train, Bus, Car, and Plane

Mats Silvan / Getty Images

Rome and Milan are Italy's largest and second-largest cities, respectively, but sometimes they feel like they are cities in two different countries or eras. Rome is filled with millennia-old ruins and small, winding streets, while Milan is modern and chic with huge thoroughfares and luxury brands. Both places offer a uniquely Italian je ne sais quoi , and the best way to experience that is to visit them both.

Train travel is the preferred method of transportation in Italy, and trains run often and quickly. Tickets are affordable if you purchase them in advance, but just like flying, they get more expensive as your travel date gets closer. You could also fly between the two cities, but the airport hassles make the train a more appealing option. Last-minute planners can save a lot of money by booking a seat on a very long bus ride, or if you want to rent a car, you can leisurely enjoy the Tuscan countryside on your way north.

How to Get from Rome to Milan

Frequent trains run between Rome's Termini and Milan's Milano Centrale train stations. A few fast trains also leave from the Roma Tiburtina station. Trenitalia's high-speed Frecciarossa trains make the trip from Rome to Milan in as little as 3 hours, 10 minutes, although some take longer. Intercity (IC) trains take anywhere from six to eight hours but cost much less. You'll need to reserve a seat but you don't need to change trains to get between Rome and Milan. You can check current Rome to Milan schedules and ticket prices on the Trenitalia website.

Italy's privately owned high-speed rail line, Italo , also offers train service from Rome's Termini or Tiburtina stations to Milano Centrale, with some nonstop trains that make the trip in three hours. If you can plan ahead, Italo offers some great advance-purchase prices online, including for their Prima (first class) and Club (executive class) coaches.

Both Trenitalia and Italo offer dozens of daily high-speed trains from Rome to Milan (and vice-versa), with departures from around 5 a.m. until 8:50 p.m. With so many daily trains, you could just show up at the station and purchase your tickets on the day of travel, but you'll get the best deals if you book in advance online.

Both Rome and Milan have multiple train stations, so if you want to compare the schedules and prices for all stations without doing a new search every time, choose Roma (Tutte) for the departure city and Milano (Tutte) for the arrival city— tutte is Italian for "all" and will show you all available options.

Milan has three airports: the larger Milan Malpensa (MXP) with many international flights, the smaller Milan Linate (LIN) with flights mainly from other parts of Italy and Europe, and Bergamo Airport (BGY) which is outside of Milan and the farthest away. Italian airline Alitalia has several daily flights from Fiumicino Airport in Rome to all three Milan airports. Malpensa is the larger international airport, but Linate is much closer to the city center and a more convenient option for regional flights.

Flights to Milan usually cost about the same as trains, and even though time in the air is just over an hour, once you factor in all of the extra time it takes to commute to and from the airport, check-in, go through security, and wait at your gate, going by plane actually takes much longer than the train. The train takes you directly from city center to city center, and there are so many daily options you should have no problem finding a time that works for your schedule. As an added bonus, going by train is much friendlier to the planet.

If you're making spur-of-the-moment plans to go to Milan, train and flight prices may have skyrocketed, especially if you're traveling on a weekend or holiday. The bus takes much longer—usually between eight and 10 hours—but even same-day tickets could be as low as $20. It's a long ride and you'll lose either a day of travel or a night of restful sleep, so if you must resort to the bus, you might consider breaking up the trip and spending a day or two in one of the cities along the route, such as Florence or Bologna.

The most popular coach company is Flixbus , and be aware that the pick-up and drop-off points are not centrally located in either city. In Rome, the bus stops are either at Tiburtina station or Anagnina, and in Milan, most of them leave passengers at Lampugnano bus station. All of them are connected to their respective city center by public transportation, but don't forget to take that extra time into account.

If you are traveling by car, the A1 autostrada , or highway, runs between Rome and Milan and the trip can be made in about five and a half hours—although traffic in both cities can dramatically increase the driving time. Driving in the Rome and Milan city centers is not recommended and in many cases not allowed unless you're a resident. If you're arriving by car, try to choose a hotel that has parking and is not right in the historic center.

Driving in the cities is a headache, but the route itself is easy. Not only are Italian highways well-maintained, but you'll also be driving through the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. If you're in a hurry to get to Milan you can drive straight through, but the best way to take advantage of having a car is to stop along the way and enjoy the road trip. You'll drive right through Florence, Bologna, and countless quaint Italian towns that are worth your time.

Italian highways do use tolls based on the total number of kilometers you've driven, and since the drive from Rome to Milan is almost half the length of the entire country, expect to pay about 40 to 45 euros when you exit. You can pay by credit card, but foreign cards aren't always accepted, so it's a good idea to have euros on hand just in case.

What to See in Milan

Rome is the capital of Italy, but Milan is often considered the economic and cultural capital. Not only is it the center of high Italian fashion—being the home of renowned brands like Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Armani—but it's also seeping with history. Every large Italian city has a cathedral called a Duomo , but when anyone is talking about the Duomo, they're referring to the church in Milan. It's the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and is a must-see site when visiting the city. Another famous piece of history is nearby in the Santa Maria della Grazie church, which houses Leonardo da Vinci's painting, "The Last Supper." Apart from shopping and sightseeing, Milan puts its own spin on Italian cuisine with typical dishes from the area like risotto and veal Milanese. One of Milan's most famous pastimes is aperitivo , the local version of happy hour where locals hang out at a bar, sip on an Aperol spritz, and enjoy buffets of food set out to snack on.

Thanks to high-speed trains, the ride takes three hours and 15 minutes to complete.

Rome is 356 miles (537 kilometers) from Milan.

One-way tickets on the train start at $44 depending on which train you choose and when you purchase your tickets.

To drive from Rome to Milan will take five hours and a half hours.

1. From Rome to Milan by Train

Taking the train is the easiest way to travel from Rome to Milan. In about three hours and 10 minutes , tourists can get from Rome Termini station to Milan Centrale.

Trenitalia's Frecciarossa trains are the high-speed option beloved by tourists and locals alike. They travel throughout the country and top out at a max speed of 360 kilometers per hour.

The Frecciarossa 1000 is even faster, reaching a high speed of 400 kilometers per hour. This train can make the journey from Rome to Milan in under three hours.

One-way tickets cost around $65, depending on which level of service you choose: Standard, Premium, Business, or Executive. Some tickets could be priced as low as $35. They depart Rome Termini multiple times a day and run as early as 5:10 am and as late as 11:55 pm.

TrenItalia's InterCity train is a much slower option, and it's not that much cheaper than the high-speed trains. Super Economy tickets cost about $21, while a basic fare can be as high as $70 or more in First Class. These trains are much slower than the Frecciarossa trains. These take almost seven hours and 45 minutes to reach Milan Centrale station from Rome Termini, and they depart multiple times daily.

Italo Treno also operates a route between Rome and Milan. The trains take as little as three hours and 10 minutes to run from Rome Termini to Milan Centrale. Tickets cost as low as $20 or more depending on the class, time, and date you choose to travel. They run from 5:40 am to 8:40 pm.

Italo Treno's trains also depart Rome's Tiburtina station and arrive in Milano Centrale many times a day, sometimes twice within an hour. They also offer trains that depart Rome's Tiburtina and Termini stations and arrive in Milan's Rho Fiera station in about four hours.

In addition, Italo Treno runs between Rome Termini and Tiburtina stations and Milan Rogoredo station.

Insider's tip: If you're planning to take the train more than once during your trip, save money by purchasing a Eurail Italy pass . A pass to travel within the country for three days in one month costs $145 per person, or $203 if you're hoping to travel for five days within one month.

2. From Rome to Milan by Bus

Taking a bus is the cheapest way to get from Rome to Milan . Be prepared — the journey is a long one. It could take anywhere from seven and a half to over 13 hours to reach Milan. While most buses include power outlets, air-conditioning, and reclining seats, it's still a long time to travel.

Flixbus boasts some of the most budget-friendly rates, with a ticket from Rome Tiburtina bus station to Milan's Lampugnano bus station costing as little as $10. Buses also depart from Rome Anagnina station to Milan San Donato and Sesto S.G. 1 stops. There are multiple buses offered daily.

Itabus is another popular company that runs the route between Rome Tiburtina and Milan Lampugnano. The journey takes about eight to eight and a half hours , depending on traffic, and costs about $14, depending on the class of ticket, date, and time you choose.

3. From Rome to Milan by Plane

Flying is the fastest way to get from Rome to Milan . It's also quite affordable. Italy's national carrier, ITA Airways , flies from Rome Fiumicino airport to Milan Linate multiple times a day, beginning at 7 am. The almost hourly direct flights can cost as little as $53 one way and take an hour and 10 minutes to fly between the two cities.

While you'll have to get yourself to and from the airport, there are many ways to do this quite easily. Taking a cab is the quickest option if there's no traffic, but The Leonardo Express travels from Rome Termini train station to the airport in 32 minutes. One-way tickets cost about $20, and the train leaves about every half hour.

The Terravision Shuttle Bus runs from Rome Termini train station beginning at 4:30 am. It takes about 45 minutes and costs about $6.50 for a one-way fare.

4. From Rome to Milan by Car

If you don't have a time-strapped agenda, driving is a good way to get from Rome to Milan. The most direct route covers over 572 kilometers in six hours and 15 minutes , without traffic. This route follows the A1 Autostrada to the E35 and passes many visit-worthy tourist attractions along the way.

The best part about driving is having the ability to stop whenever the mood strikes. Whether you're hankering for a pizza lunch or feel inspired by the scenery, driving allows you to take in more sights than other methods of traveling from Rome to Milan.

Be sure to take at least four hours to explore Florence or better yet, book a night or two in one of the city's fabulous resorts. One of the most majestic cities in Italy, this Tuscan masterpiece boasts some of the most spectacular tourist attractions, including stunning churches , vibrant piazzas, and captivating palaces .

Florence lies almost halfway between Rome and Milan, making it a perfect place to break up the long drive. An hour and a half farther north, you'll find the pretty town of Bologna , best known for its gastronomic delights. You'll want to arrive hungry in order to sample many of the area's most delicious delicacies.

When you aren't eating, take time out to enjoy the city's top attractions, like the always-buzzing Piazza Maggiore and San Petronio Basilica. Filled with fun things to do, Bologna is one of the best places to visit on a day trip from Florence .

From Bologna, Milan can be reached in about two and a half hours, just in time for dinner. Those wishing to stop in Parma can do so easily on this route. It boasts many interesting places to visit just an hour's drive away. From here, you can reach Milan in an hour and a half.

Note: Multiple rental car companies offer their services to tourists based within Rome. The most popular companies include Europcar , Sixt , and Hertz , which also boast train station and airport locations. Be sure to have cash or a debit/credit card on hand, as the route involves tolls.
