Many trains run even despite a strike, so if you've booked a train during these times or you plan to travel, it's possible that your travel may not be affected.

If you're traveling on a long-distance (not regional) train, your train may be guaranteed; click here to check. If you find your train on this list, it will be in service.

If you already purchased train tickets for journeys that take place during the time of the strike through our sister company ItaliaRail and your train has been identified as one that is at risk of being affected by the strike, you'll receive an email message from ItaliaRail with further instructions.

How do we notify the ItaliaRail Lounge when we will be there?
To visit the ItaliaPass Lounge you'll need to book on the dedicated booking page here. Although it lists a price of $25, after you click on your date, you'll see a small link that says "Have an ItaliaPass or ItaliaFare? Enter your ID here" and that's where you enter your ItaliaPass Primo member ID or ItaliaFare code to get the cost waived.

Will the ItaliaRail Lounge at Termini hold my bags on arrival if I need to get to a tour right away?
You can store your bags at the ItaliaPass Lounge in Termini train station during opening hours if you're an ItaliaPass Primo member or if you purchased an ItaliaPass Viva or Primo fare on ItaliaRail. You can store bags during the lounge's opening hours, which are Monday – Saturday 8 am to 5 pm and

If you’re visiting a city for the first time, walk around the quieter streets away from the main tourist spots. You’ll often find small cafés, local shops, beautiful buildings, and places that aren’t mentioned in every travel guide. You can also have fun experimenting with Scritte Particolari when creating personalized captions, notes, or messages to remember those little moments from your trip.

It’s also worth checking public transport options before you arrive, especially if you’re planning to travel between cities. Booking popular trains and attractions in advance can save a lot of time during busy periods.

And don’t forget to leave some room in your itinerary for spontaneous stops. Some of the best parts of an Italy trip can be the places you discover when you’re not following a strict schedule.

The first one is the budget option. Take the free port shuttle bus to the main port hub at Largo della Pace. From there, you can pay €6 to take the local Port Link bus to the train station, or walk to the train station (it's about one mile). Then from the Civitavecchia train station you can get a train to Roma San Pietro ($6 USD on ItaliaRail.com).

Alternatively, in particular if you have mobility issues or a lot of luggage, you can book a direct transfer from the cruise port. These are available on our partner site ItaliaTours: here's the link. Sedans for up to two passengers cost $219 and vans from 3-6 passengers cost $249.

What's the name of the restaurant to get the aperitivo?
The place I mentioned in the webinar is Meccanismo, in Piazza Trilussa in the Trastevere neighborhood. Here's their website. And here's a link on Google Maps. The aperitivo is available daily from 6-9 pm.
