      A budget tip for people travelling in Italy :

      There are 2 offers that you can buy on the site,
      A 3 day ticket for 30 €
      A 5 day ticket for 40 €

      You can ride any regional train ( regionale, regionale veloce)
      Intercity trains and high speed train not included.

      If you got a bike you gotta add a fare of 3,50 €

      I used it in combo with my bike and I visited a lot of places for a really ridiculous price.

      Is this a replacement or competitor to the SNCF service from Nice to Milan? Always wanted to do that, but all in daylight, when we used to holiday in Gorbio when my boys were junior school age. Pity no caption commentary this time, and no ticket price info during the video as in many of your others?

      Since when was this train introduced? I travelled on the same route in October 2015. I had to change trains twice, first at Ventimiglia, then at Genoa. The total time taken for the journey was abou 11 hours, including abot 3 hours stop-overs. It was a very tiring journey.
      While booking ticket at the Nice Ville station a day before the journey, the girl at tge counter told me that this was the only train connection between the two cities of France and Italy.

      The photo in your compartment was special by the way, the train on it was basically a cross-europe service from Rome in Italy to Puttgarden on an Island in the far north of Germany (where they used to have a ferry to take trains and people to denmark)

      Thank you for the nice video! I am Italian and I never heard of Treni turistici italiani nor of this line Nice-Milan. Hopefully the beautiful idea will last more than the August test. Strange to leave from Nice at 17 hrs though, to arrive in Milan so late at night. I did not catch well where the Espresso stops in Italy, apart from Genova. It would be nice if you could add the locations the train goes through, I mean the ones we see in the video, as you did for Villefranche sur mer. Thanks for sharing about trains! My grand-dad worked for the Belgian railways, so I believe I inherited some of his passion for travelling by train!

      Nice-Firenze nearly 50 years ago – overnight in a compartment with an Italian family (with wonderful kids) that treated me to a perpetual picnic, wine & stories the whole way. Ah, la dolce vita!

      A bovolone chiudono le sbarre per oltre 10 min, ma non passa il treno, quindi rialzano le barriere
      Ahahahaha
      A bovolone ghe pieno de merda con telecomunicazioni linee elettriche e Wi-Fi
