Xhat kind of place is actually reserved to french train building on international scène above all interested foreign market .
Italians simply do it better. The nation that represents a whole continent in food, fashion, elegance, lifestyle, mentality! 🇮🇹🇪🇺
It's a French train 🙃
@Mar Coac It's built in both France and Italy but it's an Alstom train. By the way, the Frecciarossa 1000 is an Italian-Canadian train (made by AnsaldoBreda, now Hitachi, with the collaboration of Bombardier).
Il treno Italo evo è costruito solo a Savigliano Cuneo
Are you Italian? 😂
@@camotech1314yes I’m Italian too so?
As an Ghanaian immigrant living here in America this video always brings me memories. This train passes right behind my father's house in Reggio Emilia. Growing up as a kid when social media wasn't too popular I always stood at the balcony and watch dozens of trains pass by each year. I miss the good old days. Now I am here in Ohio with no trains lol
You're welcome 🙂
Hi !! Nice !! I love train stations !! And airports !! Lol. I didn't know there was no train in Ohio !!? I live in L.A.,I am Japanese. 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Hello are you there still eh?
@@9-xty138 No I currently live in America 🇺🇸.😇
When the train reaches 300 km/h it feels like it's moving at 100, at most. Truly smooth and comfortable trip.
Absolutely 🤗
186 MPH @@NonstopEurotrip
Travelled on both Trenitalia and Italo…. Executive class…both exceptional, wonderful staff, service, and only Japan compares to the experience…and thats a whole different world. I cannot wait to return to Italy and do more rail travel 👍❤️ s
Execute class 😳
Both great experiences 😊
I am Japanese & I have to say we do have the best trains & the most time efficient in the world !! Thanks so much !! Lol. I live in the U.S.,I am surprised to see so many more over there in Japan that I didn't know they existed !! Sadly ,some forest destruction was done I learned & that disturbed me a lot very regretfully !! They shouldn't had done that !! 💜🥁🐉🎤💞
High speed rail in Italy is just so well executed and elegant lol. Can cost a fair bit, but its worth it. They do it with style and in my opinion is unmatched throughout europe. Close contender being France or Spain. Italo never fails to please me 😁
Miles more stylish than France and Spain, but a shame the network isn't further reaching 🤷🏻♂️🇮🇹
Actually Italo if you do not travel in business has often some pretty good deals. In economy class you can get from Milan To Rome for around 35 - 50 euros.
@@francescotomba1350, could one do a day trip with those deals?
@@Neville60001 Yes, yes if you are interested look at the Italo website. I am not sure but if you go anywhere and come back the same day you will have some additional discount. The only drawback is that Italo covers only major cities, if you have to move from a little town you have to rely on Trenitalia
@@francescotomba1350, thanks for the info.
If you flew from Rome to Milan, if you count the time getting to and from the airports, the train would be nearly as quick, and from the train you get to see the scenery.
Oh absolutely, it's quicker by 🚆🇮🇹
if you are a tourist tue train is quick because you gi from city center to city center (where all the historical tourist attracion are), all airport are at least 20 min away of the city
Not only that, but you arrive/depart from near the center of each city, gotta be better than trying to get a taxi to both airports, eh?
Oh wow !! Man !! There's another way to look at it !! THANK YOU !! WOW ! LOL.Maybe more time saving trips can be done if we look more into train rides everywhere !!? Not the case always, but yea ..!! What a fresh idea ! Lol.But ,the cost is another topic .👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Less hassle , bags and security..
train is nice way to travel .
Beautiful high speed train, sure wish we had them here in the USA!
One day maybe?
@@NonstopEurotrip, sadly, it would be only in a few corridors instead of being nationwide, and come after you and I are gone (both for the USA and Canada.)
Italo also in USA 🇺🇸
@@bernice5461, since when did this become a religious service? Keep that bullcaca to yourself.
Here in the US we spend everything on military and way over priced healthcare. No money for good infrastructure.
Best fast trains in the world. Italy is a paradise for a spanish tourist.
You have pretty good trains yourself 🙂
Really? I ‘d say the opposite…
Там си и стойте!
На един акъл сте!
In the last 5 or 6 years we've gone both ways -- Milan to Rome and Rome to Milan -- on each of the two fast train lines. Both were magnificent experiences. It's really the fun way to make one's way around Italy. Thanks for the video.
Oh absolutely is 😊
Is there room for full size luggage? We will be flying into Rome from another destination to spend a few days and want to finish our trip in Milan and to also connect to our flight back home from Milan. Thus we will be needing to transport our entire luggage. Is that possible?
Used the Italo service between Milan and Rome it was excellent. Splurged and booked the 4 seat Club Private compartment, traveling with family. The staff was very attentive. The ride was great. It's worth the splurge to enjoy this service and train. I'll do it again next time in Italy
Absolutely! Worth treating yourself once in a while ☺️🇮🇹
I did this also, but my experience was being trapped with a family with 2 small children and constant loud conversation. After 20 minutes of such torture, I left and sat in second class at a seat facing forward, with a view out of the sun and without noise from people sitting so close that out knees touched. I will never travel first class unless I am in a group that books the entire cubicle.
I'm an Italian living in the London. Thanks for the video, I loved it. In italy we constantly complain about our railway lines, but t think they are really great (much better than the ones here in UK), at least for the high speed.
L'alta velocità in Italia è fenomenale, molto meglio di qualsiasi altro Paese che ho visitato. Il problema sono i regionali, specie alcune tratte (coff coff Trenord sto parlando di te)
I am from the UK living in Canada and definitely loved the Italian trains. There are similar in Britain as well which are sadly lacking here in Canada. Our trains here look like something from the 19th century.
@@Danipiz666 fidati... trenord rispetto ai regionali qui al sud è oro
L alta velocità ,anzi i normali treni,esistono solo per il nord Italia,per gli abitanti del meridione esiste solo la morte grazie al razzismo degli italiani del nord
@@Danipiz666 esatto, non ho mai avuto problemi con i treni ad alta velocitá!
We did the Rome to Venice trip on Italo in 2017. Great experience. Wonderful trip. Highly recommend this train service.
Completely agree 😌
My father loved trains, he would be amazed.
Love it! I did Roma to Venetia via TrenItalia, and I loved that...so I know this is something I'd definitely do! Thanks for your video and attention to every aspect of detail!!
11:51-@Nonstop Eurotrip, did you know that Italy was the first nation ever to build HSR? It did so on a small basis in the mid-'30's (a line between Bologna and Naples), using the ETR 200, designed for 200 km/h [120 mph], but in service it achieved a top speed of 203 km/h (126 mph) near Milan on 20 July 1938 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FS_Class_ETR_200 )
I did know, yes, but then I'm a train guy 🤣
Great video once again Nonstop!! I can't wait to ride the Italian rails this summer
Me too 🇮🇹😎
Great film 👍and beautiful scenery 😍
I like the train inside.
Pretty nice isn't it 😌
High speed trains is the best solution for visit Italy and Europe in general. Europe is full of interesting places not too far one to another.
Oh absolutely agree ☺️
No it isn't "the best solution". It's roaming through Italy in a nice cabriolet and visiting all those gorgeus tourist-free areas with wonderful food and beautiful sights.
Train rides are like plain flights,you see nothing of the places you go through. They are McDonald's of tourism.
Very fine ride indeed... love the entire experience. Thanks!
You're very welcome 🙏🏻
Amazing video of a beautiful trainset... this is definitely on my traintravel list, thanks for sharing!!!
You're welcome 😄
I am so glad Italy got the fast Trains right, cost is comparable to a flight (and is less once you include taxis from the airport) removes all the non productive time associated with airports and is similar comparable duration once you calculate from city centre to city centre, also more energy / carbon sustainable. They are just excellent
Exactly Andrew ☺️🙏🏻
Always love your Italian videos. Brilliant as ever. Italian high speed trains are probably some of the best in the world.
Agree. If only the network was further reaching! 🇮🇹
@@NonstopEurotrip I quite agree and I think more HSLs are being planned. To extend the Milan to Brescia HSL as far as Venice . And I think another is in the pipeline linking Naples to Bari .
@@NonstopEurotrip they are now renovating some lines with state budget +pnnr budget.
They are linking Genova-Milan with a new line(terzo valico) ot should be completed by 2024/5.
They are upgrading the lines from Napoli to Reggio calabria and Rome to Bari.
It should be ready by 2026.
Let's cross our fingers!
Thank you for a great review ! I think the Italo AGV is truly superb, and must ride in one soon. The onboard service looked good, but surprised there is not a full dining car within the unit.
Yeah, but compromises eh. Would be nice is full meals were served but it's not too long a trip, since can be though! 😀🇮🇹
Nice walking tour of Termini station and train travel. We enjoyed a lot! Greetings from Rome :)
Thanks for the ride on an excellent train service ! 👍😁🇦🇺
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was in Rome in 2011 and I took a tour of Capri on Bus, however I had tickets for Italian open tennis. I choose to miss day sessions to go to Naples and Capri, however I wanted to see the evening session. Although I was booked on bus tour I took train back to Rome because it was much quicker and had me making it back to Rome to watch tennis in the evening session.
I took the Italo from Venice to Florence, it was an awesome experience traveling at 250 kmph in the tunnels. The WiFi throughout the route was infallible, at 50 Mbps I wasn't complaining 😀
Amazing!
Great video as always 😁 and loved the fact that train operators are providing business class experience with lots of features similar to those that are provided on airlines and loved to see more and more people are using trains over airplanes and wasn’t expecting that the TV screen was tucked away in one of the armrests… and complimentary drinks and snacks are always welcomed they do add a nice touch to person’s overall experience and in my opinion, I prefer both the trains Italo AVG and Frecciarossa 1000 they are magnificent but when it comes to livery I would prefer Italo AVG.
They're both excellent trains! I will do Frecciarossa executive when I get the chance to compare them, but yes it's a very lovely way to travel, I really enjoyed it! Glad you liked it mate ☺️🙏🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip can’t wait to watch that trip report in the future!!! 😀
A lot of high speed trains in Italy are very modern & compact & some often offer business class as I know from previous reviews experience the food is very good.
1st class train is nowhere near 1st class long haul on Emirates, Qatar etc .... nor are the the prices fortunately.
@@karroketo that's because first class on big airplanes is designed for flights that last 10 to 20 hours, while these train journeys take far less.
Fantastic ride.! great train and accommodations. I will never see that happen here in the USA in my lifetime. But I do remember the service before the interstate and planes pushed trains to the background. and freight etc. sad. but true. Thanks for sharing ECF
I know. The best Amtrak has to offer is pretty pitiful by comparison.
I think the Avelia Liberty is similar but idk I’m italian
USA they have in the mind s only industry of arm S....USA SPEND FOR ARMY...800 BILION OF DOLLAR!! FOR WAR S TO COUNTRYS OF THE 3⁰WORLD : AFGANISTAN, VIETNAM, LIBIA, IRAQ...NEVER VS A COUNTRY WITH AVIATION AND A ARMY GOOD....CODARD S PEOPLE
My last train trip in Italy was in 1984. FS was the only act in town. Thanks for this terrific update!
Just a bit different 😂
Stunning video and well-mentioned sub titles, hats off to u....!
Thank you 😊
I travelled from Rome to Milan in the same train in May 2015. I had boarded this train from Roma Tirbutina station and not Roma Termini. Fond memories! 😇
Great trip report!! I too would chose Italo Club for this journey. Speed, luxury are worth the cost.
Thank you Max for sharing😀😀♥️♥️
Glad you liked it Scott! I'll just have to go and do Frecciarossa executive now won't I 😄🇮🇹🚆
@@NonstopEurotrip Absolutely
So, like that, your name is Max?
@@louislegrand2865 no my name is Scott. I was merely thanking Max for a great review
Italo never fails to please me, greetings from Italy
Me too 😊
Hello Italy 🇮🇹 😍!! My No.1 favourite countries are Italy 🇮🇹 & Wales 🏴 !! Hugs from L.A. ( Los Angeles ) ,I'm Japanese. 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Fantastic Report, Congrats!
Beautiful video... sure a comfortable trip!
Absolutely 🤗
Great Video ! Thanks for share your experience !
Superb video; I have not yet been on Italo; my next trip to Italia will include prima classe on Frecciarossa, from Milano to Ancona (my family name is Breccia, so I might say Brecciarossa!). Thanks for your excellent reports. Ciao! Ciao!
You're welcome Alberto 🇮🇹🤩
Chiaramente è un cognome italiano
Have ridden train from Florence to Milan in Executive class and was impressed with the carriage and service. We had wine and sandwiches served by an attendant. We had all the facilities at the seat including the computer screen. I think it was a Fiacco! We did not go through any tunnels on our journey from Florence to Milan. Thank you I enjoyed your video.
They're excellent 🙂 If you went on a highspeed train you definitely went through lots of tunnels unless it was a long time ago!
Excellent video.....have travelled multiple times on Italo. Great value for money.
I agree 💯
I love it. We took this train from Rome to Firenze.
Fantastic page you have here. Soo lively its like we board the train with you. Bravo.
Thanks! Watch my other vids too 😃
Took Freccia Rossa in 2018 business class and it was awesome. Lots of room and super smooth, you could hold your drink while walking in the aisle and not spill it. Wi-fi and comps very good. Planning to do it again this year. BTW great vid little noise and subs are great. Cheers
So cool! Italy knows how to do fast trains well 😃
Italy is a wonderful county and also has amazing trains. Very good. 👍😊
It sure does 😀
l'Italia non esiste , è un paese razzista. Questi treni esistono solo per il nord Italia,gli altri italiani vengono trattati come animali
We will be taking this train in May, so thanks for very helpful info
You're welcome ☺️
Was on the Milan to Rome run a couple of weeks ago, it is fast and smooth.
Wonderful train and journey, yes I did travel from Milan Central to the Downtown area to see the local attractions when I had a 12 hour lay over at the Milan Airport, had to take couple of local trains from Airport to Milan Central
It's great fun 😁
Thank you for this marvellous Eurotrip...!!!
Our pleasure!
8:24 a bit of nitpicking, the wine is "Prosecco" (small typo there)😁 Hahaha, apart from that, always tremendous videos, Max. Italo is a terrific competitor to Trenitalia and I think the AGV is quite a powerful beast, I love that it speeds up to 320 km/h on regular service. Hard to choose among them, honestly. I truly enjoy both🤩
Keep coming those good videos! Cheers
It only travels at 300kmh right now, but it's it very cool and comfortable to ride 😍🇮🇹
Roma Termini is a station I have spent a little time in. Of course never in lounges and things! Could only ever travel on the shortest of shoestrings 😊. But I do like the crowds and buzz in airports and train stations - reminds me that I am privileged to at least be traveling at all!!! 👍
Exactly, making of the most of travelling when you can is always my mantra too 👌🏻
awesome journey. really enjoyed the video.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I really love Italo. I've tried Frecciarossa trains in the past, but they are much more expensive compared to Italo. And even in the lowest class, it's very comfortable! And they usually make special offers and discounts, especially if you're young!
Yes, they have some great deals. The business/prima classes are basically the same, but I prefer Italo as it's normally cheaper! 👌🏻
Yes, I had realized Italo was much more affordable !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Interesting and Very Beautiful Train, Thanks for Sharing, Greetings from Brazil
Great trip report
Thanks Luis 😀
We rode on this or a similar train from Naples to Venice. It was everything you said and more! Thanks for sharing!
😍😍😍
Beautiful ❤ the front nose looks like the front of the Ferrari Enzo. And in red paint too! Lovely Italian countryside views thank you.
The guy that started Italo Company has been the DA of Ferrari for many years...
It is beautiful, yes! 🥰
Recently traveled with Italo’s bullet train and noticed that the train by itself is quiet even at high speed of 250-300 Kmh, all the vibrations and noises you hear comes from the suitcases or other passengers belongings that are in the coach!
I just realized that by paying attention at the sources of noise during the trip.
They're great trains!!
Lol. Very good observation !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Oh this is fantastic !! A video I was looking for !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Enjoy!
Love going in these trains. I'm always so glad when I can!
Same here!
Amazing! Thank you 🙏❤️
Nice trip report.
Thanks Eric ☺️
Wow, looks a great product and service, thank you for sharing, very impressed. It’s interesting and I know it’s common in mainland Europe, but it’s very rare you make an “in/out” directional change midway in the UK at major stations. The only sad thing is as usual the amount of Graffiti which is always striking when travelling around the mainland of Europe.
Lovely video again. I heard a lot of rattling during your trip with the good looking Italo. I think, I would prefer the Frecchia Rossa 1000.
I'll have to try the Frecciarossa in executive 😍
Just spectacular and such Italian style! Love your videos! Just curious about the music at the start of the video? I loved it! Any info on the song (title/artist?). Keep up the great work!
Glad you liked it! The music is off the CZcams library, but can't remember the name as I'm currently travelling and it's all on my PC at home! Comment again in a. Couple of weeks and I'll let you know 😊
Another great video and trip thanks 😊
Thanks 🙏🏻
I did Venice to Rome by Ítalo. Great trip!
I`ve been traveling by plane, bus ,car but never had been traveling with high speed train this gives me an idea to go to Italy Milano and then by train to Rome its good idea and I see its very interesting and along way thanks for this very much!
You should! 😀
Looks amazing!
Definitely 🥰
Fabulous, the only way to go, it’s on my list!
Oh absolutely 😊
Great trip. That was enjoyable trip in Executive with fewer people inside.
Absolutely yes 😁
When I travel between Milano/Firenze/Roma I reserve on Frecciarossa Executive Class. I ❤️ the soft plush yellow leather seats. Also the tasty at your seat meal service … granted haven’t been on it because of Covid but have plans to do so this summer. I think it’s waaay better than Italo. Did use Italo once just to compare and went right back to reserving only Frecciarossa Executive Class. 😉👍🏻
Yeah I agree Rob, I will do a full Frecciarossa executive review soon ☺️🇮🇹
looks fabulous, would love the lux 4 berth room
Its certainly an exclusive experience! 😁
Seems like a very quiet train (at least until it hit supersonic speeds!) with an enviably smooth ride.
Beautiful trains 😻
Really wonderful pictures
The entertainment system makes the difference, and speed of course. Thanks for the experience.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thanks, excelent video.
Fast smooth comfortable and excellent conductor 🎉
👌🏻🥰
Love that you show and comment on accessibility for wheelchairs.
🙏🙏🙏
Great video once again 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Wow, you had a nice travel in a great Italo train. Never been on Italo, but I have been with Frecciarossa 1000 which is also a great train.
You'll have to try it 😄
Great video !!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Bella Italia, viva l'Italia🇮🇹🍷🌹
Grazie 🙏🏻
i was on it in 2012 from rome to florence and was amazing.
Oh yes 😃
Muito top essa viagem, conforto maravilhoso e muito rápido. Parabéns pelo vídeo... 👏🏿🤝🏿
Thank you 👍🏻
Beautiful trains!!
great video good idea posting kph and mph
I really appreciate the cleanliness of Italo trains, you can see the cleaning crew standing by to board the train at 21:20, quick turnaround time!
Best way to get around Italy indeed 🎉 so much fun!
It really is!
Great job!
Haha you enjoyed it ☺️
Great vid mate.
Thanks 🙏🏻
In Romania our trains take 4 to 6 hours for a 200 km trip, from Cluj-Napoca to Sibiu.
Done this exact route in Italo Prima. Would happily do it again and again and again!
Great isn't it ☺️
Italy seems to be modernizing their railways really fast. 18:40
Absolutely are!
Yes, unlike roads network which is in very bad conditions
@@sergiobertoni4074 Definitely not highway system that is good
Leaves the US in the dust!
Only in italy 2 sistem s of high speed: italo ,frecciarossa
A nice video..... Congratulations 💛❤️💖
Thank you 🤗
Traveled from Firenze to Rome, great experience.
Absolutely 🤗
no I didn't travel on their Italo,but i did with Trenitalia several times. It was really cheap to travel by train in Italy. The first trip I did was from Florence to Pisa and Venice to Milan via Zürich to Dusseldorf,Germany. The train from Milan to Dortmund was operated by SBB and Trenitalia and in Basle the changed it the the Deutsche Bahn staff. It was a very long trip,but interesting passing through the swiss alps. I had the chance to travel on one of SBB's panoramic waggon.
I went on this exact same route in 2004, but my train. if I remember well, was red, green, and silver. It looked just like tho ones appearing in your video, but I remember the trip taking about 5 hours, stopping in Bologna and Firenze.
I had traveled by air from Valencia, Spain, and the flight arrived past 11 PM, so I found what I thought was the only restaurant open in Milan and spent the night at the restaurant, when I ate the most amazing gnochi of my entire life.
My train left at 5 AM, so I slept the entire trip, arriving in Rome around 10 AM. On the way back I was wide awake and enjoyed the views as well as a delicious meal (included in the price of the fare).
I always rather take trains than flying because I enjoy more and have freedom to walk around.
Yes, the original 'Eurostar' service in Italy. Most of those trains still run as Frecciarossa 500s... 👍🏻
If you need to travel between Milan and Rome, the fast train is WAY faster than flying. You go from city centre to city centre, 3 hours in total, no long queues for security checks or trips to the airport.
Italo and, less often, Frecciarossa, have sometimes deals if you book in advance.
Edit: I especially like about Italo that there is always personnel at the doors to check passengers' reservations. So you don't get strange people sneaking in.
Absolutely 🤗
Well Milan Linate Airport is very close to the center, it's a marvellous city airport, what is far is Rome Fiumicino Airport
@@radovan107 right. From Linate you can just take an ATM bus (= city transportation) and be in the centre in less than half an hour. It's all the before and after the flight that takes away a lot of time compared to train travel.
Hello ! Je vous remercie pour cette belle vidéo. J'ai voyagé avec ma sœur à Roma Termini il y a 45 ans. Cela a bien changé.
