Plan the journey
A high-speed train makes this a manageable city-to-city journey. Allow about 3–3½ hours for the main service, plus time to reach the departure point and continue from the arrival. The selected timetable may be different.
Departure and arrival
Check both station names before comparing prices: Rogoredo is not Centrale, and Tiburtina is not Termini. A cheap departure can lose its advantage if it needs a taxi. Reserved-seat fares have different change and refund rules.
Tickets and the next stop
Compare the full fare for your date, including luggage, reservations and the changes you need. Use the operator’s timetable and tickets and leave a buffer before a separate onward booking.
