one more transport question

[chefjer]

I'm sure this has been answered b4, but, can someone tell me if it is necessary to reserve a train in Citaveccia and Livorno? How do I find out about the birg? fare in Rome?

from my experience its basically a commuter train...runs frequently...google italian train and you will get the website for tranitalia..it has english so you can get times and prices...think its about 7 euro from the port to roma

You can buy tickets at the station and get on the next train. Best to have a schedule before you leave but trains from Civitavecchia to Rome and back are frequent. In Livorno, depends on where you are going. You can also go to RailEurope's website to look up schedules. I wouldn't buy tickets there, though for those stations. Don't know when you are travelling but if you are just looking for schedules, you can put in any day and train schedules usually don't change too much.

once you buy a ticket you have to get it punchd by a machne in the station as you go to board....they are on the platform
