Destination of the week: Italy
Italy - one of the most popular destinations in Europe has it all - mountains and lakes in the North, beaches all around, enough history to satisfy even the biggest buffs, and of course the food. If you want to tick off all the major spots around the country, take advantage of the Italian rail network that's not only fast but extremely affordable.
Most major destinations are served by two carriers - Trenitalia and Italo. Both are doing their best to impress you - price and quality wise.

Seat reservations are required on all high-speed services. Only regional Trenitalia services don't require seat reservations.
