THE SLOW TRAVELLER'S GUIDE TO

Italy By Train

Italy Slow Travel Guide

There's a different way to do Italy. One where the journey is part of the experience — where landscapes shift outside your window, you arrive straight onto a sun-drenched piazza from the platform and the train becomes the thread that connects it all.

This e-guide is built around that way of travelling. 5 regions covered. The places inside are local, characterful and full of soul — the kind that still belong to the people who live there. A collection of experiences worth having, connected by some of Europe's most beautiful train lines.

This Guide is for you if..

You want to experience Italy beyond Rome and the Amalfi crowd
You've dreamed about slow mornings in a hilltop village but have no idea how to actually get there by train
You care about where you stay, what you eat, and how a place feels — not just what you can tick off
You've been to Italy before and know there's a deeper layer waiting
You want a trip that feels like it was designed for you, not for everyone

Italy has a version most tourists never find.
This is your way in.

There's an Italy that stays with you long after you've left. One where you arrive by train into a sun-drenched piazza with no particular plan, where the hotel is small and perfect, where lunch turns into three hours because nobody is in a hurry.

This is that Italy — and this guide will take you there.

145 pages across five of the country's most beautiful regions. Perhaps you're dreaming of Liguria — Cinque Terre clinging to cliffsides, Portofino glittering in the afternoon light. Or Campania, where you'll eat the world's best pizza, wander through Pompeii and spend slow, dreamy days on the Amalfi Coast.

Inside you'll find..

145 pages across five regions — Tuscany, Umbria, Puglia, Campania and Liguria — plus curated guidance for Rome, Milan, Venice, Verona and Bologna.

Itineraries built around the train. Designed around the journey from the start — so getting there is as good as being there.
Places with soul. Local, characterful hotels, restaurants and spots that still belong to the people who live there. No tourist traps, no obvious choices.
Six downloadable Google Maps. Every location pinned and ready to use offline, across all regions and major cities.
Train logistics made simple. Which routes are scenic? Which are practical? Where does the train stop? Where do you book? — Everything ready for you.
