Paris to Rome by Train

Traveling from Paris to Rome by train is an unforgettable experience. Modern, fast, and frequent trains whisk you from the City of Lights to the Eternal City on the same day, allowing you to savor glorious views along the way.   

A throwback to simpler times, the daily Paris to Rome trains are a gentler way to travel. No passport queues, no lost luggage. Comfortable and unhurried, you are treated to stunning scenery. Sit back, relax and enjoy views of vineyards, Alpine glaciers, and the occasional historic landmark. To help you find the best route for you, here’s our pick of the Paris to Rome trains.

High-speed Trains From Paris to Rome via Milan

The fastest and most comfortable way to get from Paris to Rome by train is with TreniItalia’s high-speed service via Milan.

Traveling on the sleek new Frecciarossa 1000 trains, your journey passes through the gastronomic capital of France, Lyon, and one of Italy’s unsung gems, Turin.

Along the way, you flash through the French countryside until you reach the Alps, when the train slows down, allowing you to enjoy stunning views across this picturesque landscape.  

Seven hours later you arrive in Milan, where you can then hop on one of the frequent services to Rome. Or take a moment to grab an invigorating espresso and soak up a little of the atmosphere in fashionable Milan.

As you might expect from the relatively new Paris to Rome trains, you get soft seats, power sockets, and WiFi to help the journey pass by.

Train tickets from Paris to Rome are upgradeable. From wider leather-lined seats and air conditioning in business class to a first-class experience in one of the ten executive seats on board.

High-speed Trains From Paris to Rome via Turin

The French national train operator, SNCF, has been running fast trains from Paris to Rome far longer than Trenitalia’s cross-border service. Their service via Turin is the next best option, as it adds an hour to the overall journey time.

SNCF’s Paris to Rome train service follows the same route across France before branching off to Turin in Italy. There you switch to a Trenitalia connection to complete your journey to Rome. The entire journey can be booked together through SNCF.

SNCF’s TGV is a high-speed service (once Europe’s fastest but since eclipsed by Trenitalia’s Frecciarossa 1000) and offers similar comforts, including WiFi, power sockets, and a café-bar.  

SNCF operates a morning and afternoon service, giving you more flexibility. You can also join the service in Lyon (a compelling lunchtime stopover if you want to break up the journey.)

Paris to Rome Via Chur & the Bernina Express

Slow travel in Europe is a luxury. But if you have the time, you can put together some memorable experiences. This route includes the enchanting Bernina Express and packs in three countries, a wonderful alpine city, and a precipitous rail route with world heritage status.

The Bernina Express departs from laidback Chur, the oldest city in Switzerland, and crosses Alpine glaciers into Italy. Observation windows offer panoramic views as you snake through the mountains topping 7,392 ft above sea level. An English language audio guide enlivens everything as you glide through the impossibly beautiful mountainous landscape.

There is a catch. This is a long journey requiring an overnight stop in Chur (Zurich and Basel are also options) and at least six train changes. It is a route for travelers with time on their side and who want to experience one of the exceptional European rail experiences.

The quickest route looks like this: Paris > Basel > Zurich > Chur > Tirano > Colico > Milan > Rome

Furthermore, you need to get busy on the internet to make this journey a reality as tickets are booked separately. From Paris to Chur with SNCF, the Bernina Express via Swiss SBB or DB German Railways, and connecting regional service from Tirano to Rome via Trenitalia.

You can also start in St Moritz in Switzerland and terminate in Lugano in Italy, but this will add time and expense to the journey. An additional daily service is available from St Moritz.

Paris to Rome Trains via Switzerland Details

• Why choose this route? For an unforgettable adventure with striking views and a Swiss Alps stopover.
• Prices: Starting at around €220 for all three tickets, this is not the cheapest Paris to Rome train price. As usual, early booking will save money. You must reserve seats for the Bernina Express, which can be done online or via their booking line, up to three months in advance. A supplementary fee of €20-25 is chargeable for reservations. First-class upgrades are available on every leg of the journey. They will add approximately €110 to the total train from Paris to Rome cost. If you only want 1 st class for the Bernina Express, upgrades start at €36.
• Paris to Chur – 17 services daily. Journeys range from 6-6.5 hours, with 2 to 3 changes.
• Chur to Tirano – twice daily (morning and afternoon)
• Tirano to Rome – hourly
• Duration : 18+ hours rail journey time excluding stopover.

Train travel in europe..., train travel in asia..., train travel in africa..., train travel in america..., train travel in australasia, paris to rome in a day from €59.

You can travel the 1,449 km (900 miles) from Paris to Rome in a single day by high-speed train through some great Alpine scenery, with cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  It's not just transportation, it's an epic European adventure with your feet up and a glass of prosecco to hand.  There are several ways to travel from Paris to Rome by train, this page explains the options in each direction, and the best way to buy tickets.  Information current for 2024.

IMPORTANT:  On 27 August 2023, a landslide at St Jean de Maurienne blocked the Paris-Milan line. Direct Paris-Milan TGV & Frecciarossa services are cancelled until at least the end of 2024, possibly longer.  Paris-Switzerland-Milan routes are unaffected.  One Paris-Milan TGV is now running with a bus around the landslide.  See the landslide on video .

Which option to choose?

Option 1 - currently cancelled because of the landslide.

This is the one I'd normally recommend if you want to travel from Paris to Rome in a day.

Treat it as a chill-out day as 1,449 km of France, Italy and the Alps unfold outside your window.

You take the early morning Frecciarossa train from Paris to Milan, with cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  It's a high-speed dash from Paris to Lyon followed by a leisurely scenic meander through the Alps to Turin, then another high-speed run to Milan. 

There's time for a coffee at the magnificent Milan Centrale - an attraction in its own right, can you spot Mussolini ?  You then take another comfortable high-speed Frecciarossa from Milan to Rome Termini , arriving early evening.

Trenitalia introduced its Paris-Milan Frecciarossa in December 2021 to compete head-to-head with French Railways' long-established Paris-Milan TGV (see option 2).  With an interior styled by Italian design firm Pininfarina , the Frecciarossa is the more glamorous train with the better on-board service.  It has standard class (2nd), business class (1st) and luxury executive class (premium 1st) with at-seat food & prosecco included.

Another advantage over option 2 is that both sectors (Paris-Milan & Milan-Rome) are with Trenitalia, so if a delay means a missed connection you have a cast-iron legal entitlement to be rebooked on a later onward train to Rome at no charge.

Option 2 - currently cancelled because of the landslide.

This also gets you from Paris to Rome by train in a single day, using the competing SNCF (French Railways) TGV from Paris to Turin, then a Trenitalia Frecciarossa from Turin to Rome.  It follows pretty much the same route as option 1, with the same scenery.

The TGV has been running since 1996, originally a joint operation with Trenitalia, but since 2011 entirely run by SNCF.  The TGV is a comfortable train, with 1st & 2nd class, cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi, but nothing as fancy as Trenitalia's executive class.

For a blow-by-blow comparison of Frecciarossa and TGV, see Which is the better train, Frecciarossa or TGV?

Option 3 - running normally, through Switzerland so unaffected by the landslide .

This also gets you from Paris to Rome in a single day, using scenic main lines through Switzerland.  Under normal circumstances it's slightly less convenient than options 1 or 2 because it involves two changes rather than one and it's a usually a little more expensive.  But while the landslide blocks the direct route it's the fastest & most comfortable option with some great scenery in the Alps.

Option 4 - running, but with a bus transfer around the landslide.

This is the same route as options 1 & 2, but with an overnight stop in Turin which breaks up the journey nicely.

Leave Paris on the mid-afternoon SNCF TGV or the competing mid-afternoon Trenitalia Frecciarossa (I'd choose the Frecciarossa), and stay overnight in wonderful Turin.  Just remember that in winter when the days are shorter, most of the Alpine scenery will be in darkness.

Then take a Frecciarossa from Turin to Rome next morning in as little as 4h10, with a range of departures.  Personally I'd spend the morning exploring Turin, one of Italy's two most under-rated cities, even if you're not a fan of the 1969 Michael Caine film The Italian Job (before you ask, Italy's other most under-rated city is Trieste).

Tip:   If using www.raileurope.com , I recommend clicking More options and entering Turin Porta Susa as a via station with a stopover duration of at least 45 minutes as this ensure a robust same-station change at Turin Porta Susa.  In the search results, look for a 1-change journey.

Step 3, travel from Milan to Rome by Frecciarossa , leaving Milan Centrale at 18:00 arriving Rome Termini 21:10.

Incidentally, don't worry about connections in Milan.  Basel or Geneva to Rome will be a through booking so if the Switzerland-Milan EuroCity train is delayed, you'll be rebooked at no charge on a later onward train from Milan.

What are the trains & journey like?

The TGV-Lyria is an impressive 320 km/h (199 mph) double-deck high-speed train with 3 classes, cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  The scenery on the last hour of the route to Geneva is lovely, see the photos here .  Book an upper deck seat for the best views!

The Switzerland-Milan EuroCity train is a bullet-nosed Astoro type from Geneva to Milan via the Simplon route, also an Astoro type from Basel to Milan via the Lötschberg and Simplon lines, but due to become the latest Giruno type at some point.  These trains have 1st & 2nd class, a restaurant car, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  The scenery through the Alps is wonderful.

Make sure you have a quick look around the amazing Milan Centrale and maybe you can spot Mussolini .

The Frecciarossa from Milan to Rome has standard, premium, business & executive class, with a cafe bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  It travels across Italy at up to 300 km/h (186 mph).

Basel or Geneva to Milan starts at €29 in 2nd class or €49 in 1st class.

Milan to Rome starts at €29.90 in standard class or €39.90 in business class.

All these fares vary like air fares, so book ahead.

Using www.raileurope.com or www.thetrainline.com means you can buy everything in one place.  Use whichever you prefer, they're both easy to use, in €, £ or $, small booking fee.  Booking opens up to 4 months ahead .

First book the TGV-Lyria from Paris to Basel or Geneva and add to basket, looking for one of the early morning departures shown above.

Scenery from the Paris to Geneva train, as the train snakes through the hills on the wonderfully scenic Haut-Bugey line.

Lake Maggiore, seen from the Basel and Geneva to Milan trains.

Option 4, Paris to Rome with overnight stop in Turin

An overnight stop breaks up the journey nicely, with a chance to see wonderful Turin.  It's the same route as options 1 & 2, but with a stopover.

The TGV & Frecciarossa both have a cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  Which is best, TGV or Frecciarossa?

It's a scenic & relaxing journey, first at up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on the Paris-Lyon high-speed line, then the train slows right down and snakes through the Alps to Italy.  See route map .  More information, photos & tips about the Paris-Milan journey .

I suggest the Hotel Torino Porta Susa or Hotel Diplomatic , Best Quality Hotel Dock Milano , Hotel & Residence Torino Centro - Stazione Porta Susa or small Al Porta Susa B&B , all right next to Turin Porta Susa station where the TGV arrives and where your onward train leaves next morning, with good or great reviews. 

Alternatively, the excellent Turin Palace Hotel is in the centre right next to Turin Porta Nuova station , a 7 minute taxi ride, 3-stop €1.50 metro ride or 20 minute walk from Turin Porta Susa , but next morning you can board your train to Rome at Porta Nuova station the historic terminus in the heart of the city.  Turin-Rome trains start their journey at Turin Porta Nuova before picking up passengers at Turin Porta Susa a few minutes later.

Day 2, travel from Turin to Rome by high-speed Frecciarossa train or Italo .

Book any departure you like from either Turin Porta Nuova or Turin Porta Susa to Rome Termini , there are regular departures through the day.

Turin to Rome takes just over 4 hours, centre to centre.  Trenitalia's 300 km/h (186 mph) Frecciarossas have standard, premium, business & executive class , cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  Private operator Italo 's competing high-speed trains have 3 classes, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi, see more about Italo .  Which is best, Italo or Trenitalia?

Buy tickets at either www.raileurope.com or www.thetrainline.com , whichever you prefer. 

Both sites are easy to use, in €, £ or $.  They sell tickets for both the TGV & the Frecciarossa, and for both Trenitalia & Italo tickets within Italy, so you can buy tickets for all operators together in one place, overseas credit cards no problem, small booking fee.  More about Raileurope .  More about Thetrainline .

Booking opens up to 4 months ahead .  Book from Paris (any station) to Turin Porta Susa for day 1 and add this to your basket.  Then book from Turin Porta Susa to Rome Termini for day 2, add that to your basket and check out.

Frecciarossa trains are ticketless, you simply print out your booking reference or show it on your phone.  For the TGV you print your own ticket or can show a mobile ticket on your phone.

You can of course book the TGV and onward Italian trains separately.  It's more effort, and in principle you should see exactly the same fares.

Step 1, book from Paris to Turin at the French Railways website www.sncf-connect.com .  In €, no booking fee, you print your own ticket or can select a mobile ticket to show on your phone.

Option 5 , Paris to Rome via the Bernina Express - the ultimate scenic route

This takes significantly longer and must be split over 2 days, but if you want the ultimate scenic ride from Paris to Rome through the Swiss Alps, this option is fabulous - If you still need convincing, watch the video !

Step 2, book a ticket from Zurich to Tirano for the following day as explained on the Bernina Express page .  If you want to travel in the Bernina Express panoramic carriages between Chur & Tirano, add a seat reservation as I explain here .

Step 3, book a ticket from Tirano to Rome on the 13:08 departure from Tirano, using either www.raileurope.com or www.thetrainline.com (both easy to use, in €, £ or $, overseas credit cards no problem, small booking fee).  Booking opens up to 4 months ahead , You print your own ticket or can show it on your phone.

Booking the 13:08 departure from Tirano to Rome should be fine as Swiss trains are usually punctual, but if you want to play it safe you could plan to have a late lunch & a beer in Tirano and book the 15:08 instead.

Rome to Paris by train

Which route to choose.

This is the one I'd recommend if you want to travel from Rome to Paris in a single day.

Treat it as a chill-out day as 1,449 km (900 miles) of Italy, France and the Alps unfold outside your window.

You leave Rome on a late morning high-speed Frecciarossa to Milan with cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  There's time for a coffee at the magnificent Milan Centrale - can you spot Mussolini ?

You then take the afternoon Frecciarossa from Milan to Paris, also with cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  After an initial dash to Turin at up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on the high-speed line, the train slows right down and meanders through the Alps on the classic line through Modane to Chambéry & Lyon.  After another high-speed run across France the train arrives in central Paris.

Trenitalia introduced its Milan-Paris Frecciarossa in December 2021 to compete head-to-head with French Railways' long-established Milan-Paris TGV (see option 2).  With an interior styled by Italian design firm Pininfarina , the Frecciarossa is the more glamorous train with the better on-board service, with standard class (2nd), business class (1st) and a luxury executive class (premium 1st) with at-seat food & prosecco included.

Another advantage over option 2 is that both sectors (Rome-Milan & Milan-Paris) are with Trenitalia, so if there's a delay and missed connection you are legally entitled to be rebooked on a later train at no charge.

Option 2 - running, but with bus transfer around the landslide.

This also gets you from Rome to Paris in a single day, using the competing SNCF (French Railways) TGV from Turin to Paris.  It follows pretty much the same route as option 1, with the same scenery.

The TGV's main advantage is that two same-day Rome to Paris journeys are possible, a morning one and an early afternoon one, although personally I'd still go with option 1's Frecciarossa.

For a blow-by-blow comparison of Frecciarossa & TGV, see Which is the better train, Frecciarossa or TGV?

Option 3 - running normally, through Switzerland so unaffected by the landslide.

This also gets you from Rome to Paris in a single day.  Under normal circumstances it's slightly less convenient than options 1 or 2 because it involves two changes rather than one and it's a little more expensive.  But while the landslide blocks the direct route it's the fastest and most comfortable option with some great scenery in the Alps.

Option 4 is the same route as options 1 or 2, but with an overnight stop in Turin, which breaks up the trip nicely.  Running, but with a bus transfer around the landslide.

Take an afternoon or early evening Frecciarossa from Rome to Turin in around 4h10, stay overnight in Turin, then take either SNCF's morning TGV or Trenitalia's morning Frecciarossa through the Alps to Paris in around 5h40 (I'd choose the Frecciarossa).

Personally I'd take an earlier Frecciarossa from Rome to Turin (or the afternoon TGV or Frecciarossa from Turin to Paris next day) and spend time exploring wonderful Turin, one of Italy's most under-rated cities, even if you're not a fan of the 1969 Michael Caine film The Italian Job .

In winter when the days are shorter, a key advantage of this option is that you'll see all the alpine scenery in daylight.

Option 1, Rome to Paris in a day by Frecciarossa

Update:  All Milan-Paris Frecciarossas are cancelled because of the landslide.

There's a late-morning departure from Rome to Paris every day

Leave Rome Termini at 11:50 Monday-Friday, change at Milan Centrale (arrive 14:58, depart 15:53) arriving Paris Gare de Lyon at 22:34.

Leave Rome Termini at 11:10 Saturday & Sunday, change at Milan Centrale (arrive 14:50, depart 15:53) arriving Paris Gare de Lyon at 22:34.

You then travel from Milan to Paris by Frecciarossa , with standard, business & executive class, cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.

Option 2, Rome to Paris in a day by TGV

This is basically the same route as option 1, but using the competing French Railways TGV to Paris instead of Trenitalia's Frecciarossa .  When using the TGV it's easier to change trains in Turin rather than Milan.  As the TGV offers two afternoon departures from Turin, there's a choice of two departures from Rome.

Rome to Paris, Mondays-Fridays (normal service)

Leave Rome Termini at 08:10, change at Turin Porta Susa (arrive 12:49, depart 15:41*) arriving Paris Gare de Lyon at 21:14*.

Leave Rome Termini at 12:10, change at Turin Porta Susa (arrive 16:49, depart 17:38) arriving Paris Gare de Lyon at 23:19.

* On certain dates this TGV runs earlier, leaving Turin Porta Susa 13:38 and arriving Paris Gare de Lyon 19:16.

Rome to Paris, Saturdays & Sundays (normal service)

Leave Rome Termini at 08:10, change at Turin Porta Susa (arrive 12:49, depart 13:38) arriving Paris Gare de Lyon at 19:16.

Update 2024:  Because of the landslide, only 1 TGV is currently running per day, every day, as follows:

Leave Rome Termini 08:10 arriving Turin Porta Susa 12:49.  Leave Turin Porta Susa 15:41 arriving Paris Gare de Lyon at 23:14.

The journey involves a bus transfer from Oulx to St Jean de Maurienne, to get around the landslide.

You then travel from Turin to Paris by SNCF (French Railways) high-speed TGV , with 1st & 2nd class, cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.

Option 3 , Rome to Paris in a day via Switzerland

Step 1, travel from Rome to Milan by Frecciarossa , leaving Rome Termini at 08:50, arriving Milan Centrale 11:58.

Have a look around the amazing Milan Centrale and maybe you can spot Mussolini !

Step 2, travel from Milan to Zurich by EuroCity train , leaving Milan Centrale 13:10 and arriving Zurich HB 17:27.

Step 3, travel from Zurich to Paris by TGV-Lyria , leaving Zurich HB at 18:34 and arriving Paris Gare de Lyon 22:42.

The Frecciarossa from Rome to Milan has standard, premium, business & executive class, with a cafe bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  It travels across Italy at up to 300 km/h (186 mph).

The EuroCity train from Milan to Zurich is the latest Giruno type with 1st & 2nd class, a restaurant car, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.

The Milan-Zurich EuroCity train passes Lake Como and heads through the Alps over the Gotthard route, past pretty Lake Lugano.  On Mondays-Saturdays this train is currently diverted over the classic (extra-scenic!) Gotthard route through the original Gotthard Tunnel of 1882 because of damage to the modern Gotthard Base Tunnel caused by a freight train last year, journey time 4h17.  On Sundays (and every day when they finally fix all the damage) it uses the Gotthard Base Tunnel , the world's longest rail tunnel opened in 2016, journey time 3h17 with an earlier arrival in Zurich.

The TGV-Lyria from Zurich to Paris is an impressive 320 km/h (199 mph) double-deck high-speed train with 3 classes, cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.  Book an upper deck seat for the best views!

Rome to Milan starts at €29.90 in standard class or €39.90 in business class.

Milan to Zurich starts at €29 in 2nd class or €49 in 1st class.

Using www.raileurope.com or www.thetrainline.com means you can buy everything in one place.  Use whichever you prefer, they're both easy to use, in €, £ or $, small booking fee.  Booking opens up to 4 months ahead .  Using the time above as your guide, do a dry run for all 3 sectors before booking for real.

Book the Frecciarossa from Rome to Milan and add to basket.

Book the EuroCity train from Milan to Zurich and add to basket.

Book the TGV-Lyria from Zurich to Paris, add this to your basket and check out, paying for all tickets as one transaction.  You print your own tickets or can show them on your phone.

Option 4, Rome to Paris with overnight stop in Turin

Update:  Because of the landslide, the Frecciarossas are all cancelled, but 1 TGV per day is running: Spend the morning in Turin, then leave Turin Porta Susa at 15:41, arriving Paris Gare de Lyon at 23:14.  You are transferred by bus from Oulx to St Jean de Maurienne to get around the landslide.

First book from Rome Termini to Turin Porta Susa and add to basket.  Then book from Turin Porta Susa to Paris (any station) for the following day, add to basket & check out.

Italian trains are ticketless, you simply print out your booking reference or show it on your phone.  For the TGV, you print your own tickets or can show a mobile ticket on your phone.

Alternatively, you can book each train separately, more effort, more fiddly, same fares, but no booking fee.

Option 5, Rome to Paris via the Bernina Express - the ultimate scenic route

This takes significantly longer and must be split over 2 days, but if you want the ultimate train ride through the Swiss Alps, this option is fabulous - If you still need convincing, watch the video .

Then travel from Milan to Tirano by regional train, leaving Milan Centrale at 10:20 along the Lake Como, arriving Tirano 12:52. 

Now travel from Tirano to Chur on the fabulous Bernina Express narrow-gauge panoramic train , continuing to Zurich by connecting Swiss intercity train.  You leave Tirano at 14:24 and arrive Zurich HB at 19:53.

How to go from Paris to Rome

Travel between two of the great romantic, artistic, and historical cities of Europe by making the hop from France’s captial to Italy’s. It’s a move that’ll see you trade a skyline dominated by the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre Coeur with the seven hills of Rome, topped by the silhouette of St Peter’s Basilica and crowned by the ancient Colosseum.

Tempted? This guide is a must-read. It’s got information on all the ways you can go from one to the other, with details on the overnight trains, the short-haul flight links, and the low-cost buses that can smash the 680 miles that separates the two bucket-list destinations.

Paris to Rome by high-speed train

Time – 8.5 hours Price – $65+ Comfort – 5/5

Rapid TGV and Frecciarossa trains pick up the baton on the high-speed front to get you from Paris to Rome in under 10 hours. There’s a change along the way in immersive Turin. You could even plan your journey to allow a few hours there to see the famous Mole Antonelliana spire and the great royal palaces before boarding again and moving south towards the Eternal City itself. Either, way it’s a true cross-Europe adventure.

First off, you roll out of the French capital on one of the four TGV services going to Turin Porta Susa. The trains are modern, air-conditioned affairs that sport spacious 1st- and 2nd-class seating, complete with upholstered chairs and wide windows. They’ll come in handy as you cross over Burgundy and into the Savoie, where the snow-capped summits of the Alps rise around the famous ski towns of Chamonix and Brides-les-Bains.

Cut across Western Europe and gaze at the shimmering Alps as you leave France on the nifty high-speed trains.

After that, you shoot under the mountains in the Frejus Rail Tunnel (once the longest tunnel in the world!) and out into the valleys of Oulx, a land of pine forests and lonely Alpine towns set beneath rugged pinnacles. Eventually, you’ll hit Turin Porta Susa. Remember to hop off here, because it’s not actually the last stop. However, it’s a convenient changeover point for catching the fast Frecciarossa southbound. They take just under three hours and leave as many as 30 times daily. They’re also just as comfy as their French counterparts, making them a good option for waving goodbye to the Alps and crossing the heartlands of Italy, through Piedmont, Tuscany and Umbria.

Booking in advance is super-important on this route. Seriously – we can’t stress that enough. Prices follow a clear upward curve as you get closer to your date of travel. Those who search 12Go.co long in advance of going from Paris to Rome might find they pay just $65. Those who don’t could easily pay triple that, or even more!

Paris to Rome by overnight train

Time – 13.5 hours+ Price – $65+ Comfort – 4/5

Because Paris and Rome are over 680 miles apart, it might make sense to cut off a whole leg of this trip by sleeping right through it. Cue the overnight Thello train. They run between the French capital and cities throughout northern Italy once each day. Most people will be riding the service direct to either Milan or Venice, but you could make the switch to an Italian Frecciarossa to tack on a extension down south to the Colosseum and Vaticano.

In terms of comfort, the Thello isn’t up there with the TGV. You do get sleeping quarters. However, berths are compact and basic. That said, they can help you save on the cost of a night’s hotel as you travel. And they aren’t too expensive – advanced tickets on this line start at just over $30. That gets you place in one of the larger, six-bed rooms. For the most luxurious private-bed sleeper compartments, fares can soar to over $480!

The Thello overnight service can take you as far as Milan, where you’ll hop on an onward train to Rome in the morning.

You will have to sacrifice all those wonderful views of the Alps, because this whole trip is done during darkness. Paris is left in the dust around 7.15pm. You pull into beautiful Milan Centrale station at 6am. That leaves 1.5 hours before you can change onto the Frecciarossa service heading to Rome Termini, so you’ll at least get to see the rolling Tuscan vineyards and the craggy tops of the Italian Apennines from your train seat. You can expect to arrive in the capital at about 10.40am.

Be sure to buy in time to score one of the so-called Smart fares on the Thello overnighter. They’re more than half the cost of a full-price ticket. Oh, and don’t forget to pre-book that onward trip to Rome from Milan as early as possible, because those will definitely take a toll on the travel budget if left too late. You can search and purchase both using the online portal at 12Go.co .

Paris to Rome by plane

Time – 2 hours (flight only) Price – $37+ Comfort – 4/5

Finding a flight from Paris to Rome should be as easy as sourcing a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Bordeaux red in the French capital. There are a whopping six individual airlines that offer direct connections. That translates into as many as 15 departures every day. They begin in the early morning – with the first available around 6.40am – and finish late in the night – you can fly at nearly 10pm if need be.

But not all air connections are made equal. Some will jet out of huge Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Others go from smaller Paris Orly, and even the low-cost hub of Beauvais Airport. Deciding between them will have a direct impact on how long you spend in transit. That’s because Charles de Gaulle can be reached in just 35 minutes from the Gare du Nord, while getting to the others can take anything between 60-80 minutes.

Flying is the only way to get the trip from Paris to Rome done and dusted in a single morning or afternoon.

You’ll also need to decide which airline you want to go with. Budget will usually come into play here, because fliers like easyJet, Ryanair and Vueling offer the cheapest seats but services without any frills. Paying extra for a flight with Air France means having a snack served on board, cheaper checked baggage, and departures out of that convenient hub in Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Flight times hover around the two-hour mark, and virtually all the Paris-Rome links, no matter where they take off from, will land at the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Fiumicino. That’s the best-connected to the Eternal City, with direct, fast trains every 15 minutes waiting to take you straight into Rome Termini.

Paris to Rome by bus

Time – 20-25 hours Price – $35+ Comfort – 2/5

Don’t board a coach going from Paris to Rome without a good novel in tow – the whole trip is a whopping 20 hours or more from start to finish! That makes this the longest way to move from capital to capital. But with the added journey time comes a cut to the cost. Yep, buses can sell for as little as $35 when you book long in advance.

The bus to Rome is a budget-conscious choice, with cheap ticket rates but travel times in excess of 20 hours each way!

The route usually follows the speedy French motorways south-west straight to the Alps. Then, you pass through the tunnel into Italy after a pitstop in the ski resort of Chamonix, pushing onto Turin. There’s usually a change there, onto a southbound service to Rome, which you’ll only arrive at after dropping off passengers in the likes of Florence and Pisa en route.

These days, coaches tend to be comfy and clean, with good climate control and even free snacks on some services. Still, we’d recommend limiting yourself to tried-and-tested names in the business – Flixbus and BlaBlaBus are the two that come to mind. In addition to that, always use 12Go.co to compare the price of buses, flights, and trains between Paris and Rome. There’s a chance that there won’t be much difference in cost, but will be a hefty upgrade in comfort, if you choose to move to rail or air travel.

Rarely do journeys from A to B promise to shorten the bucket list as much as this one. In a single hop you’ll take in the Eiffel Tower and the Colosseum, the art-filled Louvre and the fascinating Vatican Museums. All you have to do is book.

Paris to Rome FAQ

Generally speaking, long-distance coach links still represent the cheapest option for travel on this route, but hardly by enough to justify the 20 hours they take. We’d always say check out the cost of short-haul flights on 12Go.co before settling for a bus. They can even be cheaper on occasion, and take just 1.5 hours before touching tarmac in Rome

Flying. Seriously – there’s simply no other way you can complete this trip in just a few hours. Total journey times are around the four- or five-hour mark, including two hours in the air. That’s far quicker than spending a whole night on the train, or dropping upwards of 20 hours on the buses.

Book early on 12Go.co and you might just be pleasantly surprised at the cost of the high-speed TGV and Frecciarossa connections through France and Italy. Early-bird fares for both trains can add up to around just $65. Leave it late, however, and things can start to break the bank, with prices potentially spiraling upwards of $200 or more.

Take the high-speed TGVs on the French side and switch to the Frecciarossa trains in Italy. Bingo: Your time spent on European railways from Paris to Rome can be as short as 8.5 hours. That’s just what you get from locomotives that can hit 300 kph! Alternate routes, like the Thello overnighter, might take about 13-15 hours before arriving in Rome Termini.

In a rush? Fly – it’s quicker and often cheaper. If you happen to have time to spare, take the train. The trip is a true adventure. Visions of Haute Savoie Alps and snowy summits abound as you cross from France to Italy. And then you’re onto the railways of The Boot, where vineyards and rustic farms roll to the horizon throughout Tuscany and Umbria. It’s got to be one of the continent’s most scenic lines.

That all depends which airline you fly with and which airport you want to go from. However, you’re usually looking at paying something between $35-80 for a one-way ticket to the Eternal City. That will certainly get pricier the closer you are to the departure date, so be sure to hit up 12Go.co as soon as you’ve decided it’s the Colosseum for you this year.

Top 3 airlines serving from Paris to Rome

Excellent apart from transport to actual plane 10 minutes from the actual gate , walking out in the tarmac in the rain and having to climb stairs to enter while holding luggage.

They wanted to close counter although they did not provide the wheelchair requested which ended by going alone to transit security and lost long time and they did not want to wait .

They charge me for luggage which is was included on the ticket

Good aorcraft 777 but Worst food ever Breakfast was a bû’with matonnaise… Staff was nice but invisible most of the flight

Everything went smoothly with Air France. There was a delay in departure which seemed to relate to the immigration services being short staffed.

Food could have been better especially the breakfast. Overall it was a good flight

No bording was given for next trip on same carrier, food was very moderate.

Lost luggage, 2 bags were badly damaged and one of the bags came open.

A couple of minor delays in boarding but very professional and efficient staff.

Even though my seat is a paid seat, I was told to give up my seat to a passenger. I tried to ask the CA to negotiate, and when I spoke in Japanese, the CA fled. I had to find a Japanese CA and ask them to deal with it. . After takeoff, I spilled my coffee, and when I asked the flight attendant for a towel, she told me to wipe it off with a wet tissue. My clothes got wet, so I asked CA for an extra blanket, but I had to wait for an hour.

The whole flight was coughing and farting all the way. It was impossible to breathe. If people are traveling sick they should either not be allowed to fly or made wear masks

J'ai perdu le billet 🎟 faute de visa j'ai pas eu de remboursement. J voulais prendre un autre Est-ce que yaura une solution

Non stop flight from Barcelona to Rome, arriving on time.

The communication about the delay could have been better before and during the flight. Also, this online form could have less bugs. It is almost impossible to type in this window.

Boarding was very poor as the flight was initially delayed. We were told the flight would be at 21:40. We were with our 10 month baby who was sleeping. I received an email from Kayak which said the flight was now due to take off at 21:04. When we checked the screens at Gatwick we were told the gate was closed. The lack of communication was extremely poor and we had to run with our baby and there were many other passengers, including elderly people, also running to the gate. When we got to the gate, the staff had no reasons for the poor communication.

We got to the airport 2 hours before the flight. We waited in a line to check our bags onto the flight for an hour, even despite having checked in online, as there weren't enough self check terminals allocated to Vueling (yet loads of empty BA ones right next to them). There also weren't enough staff, making them stressed and rude. We had to try and rush through security to get to our gate, which they announced as gate 35 at first and then changed it after ten minutes with no announcement to anyone in the airport that it had changed. So we then had to rush to the correct gate to arrive just as boarding started. It was a thoroughly stressful process and one travelling couple almost missed boarding because of it. The flight boarding and the flight itself werre fine, the staff were polite, but I was dehydrated due to the airport and had to buy a bottle of water as they didn't offer free drinks.

They stop online checkin above a certain capacity. We had to go to the airport to check-in at the desk. Or was offered to pay 7eur extra. Rip off.

It was a short flight but the seat was very straight. I didn’t need any service, but wifi was not available. In resume, a normal service. Nice, the punctuality. Thanks

You have couple of KG's grace on checked luggage

Le vol et l'embarquement se sont bien déroulé, mais une fois arrivé à destination nous n'avons pas trouvé notre valise. Nous avons été voir au guichet pour en savoir plus et c'est à ce moment qu'on nous dit que par manque de place dans la soute notre bagage est resté à Paris et sera enregistré sur le vol de demain et qu'il faudra revenir le chercher le lendemain à 16h. Le lendemain à 16h personne ne fût capable de nous renseigner et on nous à donné 3 versions différentes de la procédure à suivre. Finalement nous avons réussit à récupérer notre valise après 26h de retard. On nous à donné un numéro pour contacté la compagnie mais en appelant le numéro dédié à la France on tombe sur des personnes qui ne parlent qu'anglais ou espagnol ou bien on nous raccroche au nez.

The plane seemed very dated. The entertainment was very limited. There was a school group on our flight and the crew seemed bothered by them. They were not overly friendly or welcoming.

Ok, but no entertainment. Left late, but made up most of the time.

May be it is not an ITA issue, but the bags took long time to go out.

Good. But there food was poor quality and 95% of movies didn't have English subtitles

I thought they had rebranded themselves in every aspect but it was quite the opposite. The food was terrible the service was sub-par. Overall it was not a good experience.

Service from staff was poor, food choices were limited. Air plane was not clean or hygienic and seemed like not cleaned for days. Seats were uncomfortable.

service from stAff was barely there , food choices were limited. AirPlane was not clean and seemed like it was not cleaned for days.. Seats were very uncomfortable.

I paid for premium seats and the last minute they changed the aircraft for a bigger one, they bumped me to another seat which was NOT at all comfortable for an 11 hour flight, will fight for a refund!!

The landing was catastrophic. I was very scared. I thought it were my last lminues. Pilotes should be more experienced

ALL services were good. An announcement should’ve been made at the end of the flight that filling out a customs form would not be necessary anymore for USA travelers entering Philadelphia.

Prices will not increase after you make full payment, except for charges resulting from increases in government-imposed taxes or fees, fuel surcharges, exchange fluctuations or any combinations of these. Fox World Travel will make a reasonable attempt to contact you prior to issuing charges.
