GlitterDreams Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Glitter! I'd be glad to help you but I don't speak english very well, I'll ask to Nezza (a welshie mfcer who lives in Italy and posting in our thread) to translate any suggestions, ok? however, I think travel by train is a good idea Rome's rail station name is Stazione Termini:biggrin2: absolutely no bother! Thank you! thank you thank you BTW: I also speak spanish, do you? what language do you speak? : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterDreams Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm completely and madly in love with fetuccinis with alfredo sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterDreams Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 wait, I go to bring Nerys here my fav dish? I have traditional tastes, I like spaghetti, tomato, basil and parmigiano cheese, because it's simple, easy to cook and very tasty; my fav sweet is a wonderful chocolate cake called "Caprese", it's an Isola di Capri's typical sweet...there's no need to tell the reason why I like it! om nom nom after reading this i'm so hungry right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezza Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thank you! thank you thank you BTW: I also speak spanish, do you? what language do you speak? : ) Here I am! Train travel's a great idea, and the best way if you're thinking of going to visit southern France/Switzerland/Southern Germany as the flights are much more expensive. Train travel in Italy's cheaper than a lot of western European countries (a LOT more than my native UK), but the new high-speed trains (the ones that connect Rome to Milan for example, as well as other cities in the country) are expensive. Do you have any ideas about where you'd like to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the help, we're thinking on going to italy then take a rail to Zurich then take a rail to Paris then Madrid : ) I'm looking for tickets in rail europe but is so hard, because It's asking me the station's name and I have no idea PS: do you know how much does an average rail ticket costs?

I've done Milan-Zurich on the train (to see M in August 2010 ), if you buy tickets enough in advance you can get them for 19 euro one-way. The main station in Zurich's the Hauptbahnhof (it literally translates as main station, useful tip for travelling in German speaking areas ). The price in Italy depends on the type of train, the new high speed ones are the Frecciarossa and are expensive. A one-way ticket from Milan-Rome will cost you 91 euro at full price, or if you buy in advance you can get ones for 49 euro. The cheapest trains are the regionale/interregionale, they're the slower trains that cover short/medium distances. For the journey of Milan-Venice, a 3 hour 40 minute journey, a one-way ticket's 17 euro. There are also Intercity and Eurostar trains, sort of inbetween the cheapest and most expensive, and they also do international journeys. The train to Zurich's an Intercity for example.
