To get to La Maddalena, you...

by noell

To get to La Maddalena, you have to catch a flight from either Rome or Milan. The trip costs approx $150.00 round trip. You arrive in Olbia airport and either catch a taxi or a bus to get to Palau and then you ride a Ferry for approx $2-3. Other option is if you want to bring your car from mainland Italy is to use a ferry that also docks in Olbia or sometimes in Santa Teresa. Of course if you are rich and famous and own a yacht, just navigate your way in and dock in any of the wonderful beaches and enjoy teh sun.Everything is walkalble in the Island but there aremopeds for rent or a few taxis that service the Island. Traffic is bad from Aug. 1-15 during the peak of vacation season.

by Krystynn

Take a 45-minute hydrofoil ride from Naples/ Sorrento to Capri instead of the much-slower ferry. The only snag was that I didn't realize sitting inside the hydrofoil would be that traumatic! By the time I arrived at the Marina Grande docks, my friends thought my face had turned blue.... Sigh. That's what happens to you when you suffer from 'hydrofoil sickness'! Once you're on Capri island, you can travel around either by bus, walk (I prefer this method best!) or hail a cab.... Photo Below: A picture-perfect postcard of the Marina Grande as seen from atop Ana Capri.

by ellenron

I've reached Italy by landing at Leonardo da Vinci (Fiumicino) airport near Rome, and left it by air through Villafranca airport in Verona. Both airports are comfortable with good transportation to/from the city center. Don't postpone your shopping to the duty free shop at Verona, it is very small.We found the trains to be fast, cheap and reliable as long as there are no strikes. We suffered from strikes on the day we arrived when it took us 2 hours to reach Rome from the airport and then 4 hours to get from Rome to Naples, and on our second day the Circumvesuviana train in the Naples area didn't work due to a strike. Other than that we were very pleased by the service.Remember to check when you board a train that it is direct, and I recomend paying a supplement and riding an InterCity or EuroCity train. There are even faster trains (Pendolino, like the one in the photograph) that runs...

If your choice is Rome or...

by nickodonnell

If your choice is Rome or Milan, Fly into Rome. It is closer, more convenient and cheaper to get into the city fom there. Plus Rome is just plain better then Milan. If you have the choice of other, smaller airports, they will probably be even more convenient. The cable car from Chamonix, France seems like a neat way to enter the country too.Trains are convenient. Don't forget about busses for trips of less than 2 1/2 hours. Tuscany is more convenient by bus. The overnight ferry to Sicily or the Aolean Isles from Naples beats the overnight train there. The Ferry arrival at Stromboli is magical. Renting a car for the dolomites or Chianti is not as expesive as you'd think through autoeurope.

by Luis_Alberto

I arrived by train from Vienna, to Venice, the first time. The second time, I flew directly from Los Angeles to Milan, Malpenza Airport, which is kind of far from the city center, but there are buses that will take you in, and the fare is reasonable, same thing in Rome.Milan and Rome both have good subways, and buses that take you everywhere you need to go, and fares are not that high. Other Italian cities have good suburban trains, like Napoles to get around and also buses.

by SueDavison

You can get cheap flights to Italy from Ryanair and others. We bought flights on the internet and had a trouble-free on-time flight.We travelled around Italy br train and bus. Everything ran on time (not like Britain!), although the system for train tickets can be a bit confusing. When you purchase a ticket, you must validate it by putting it in the small yellow machines on the platforms, otherwise you may get a fine. Bus tickets are also validated sometimes in a machine inside the bus. Bus journeys in the mountains can take a long time. We'd be tempted to hire a car next time to get to some of the more remote areas in the Dolomites, although we're reluctant to add to the traffic congestion.August is a very popular month for visiting the Dolomites, and we found ourselves sharing some of the more popular trails with a lot of Italian families out for a picnic.

by tippers

We flew with bmi British Midland, to Milan. Excellent flight, but not cheap.We hired a car from Avis before we left home. Driving is fun, but don't get too het up about the way the Italians drive -- and watch out especially for the middle-aged women! They're NUTTERS!

TRAINSIf you travel...

by szabolcs

TRAINSIf you travel individually and don't arrive by car then trains are a good option. The Italian railway company is FS (Ferrovie dello Stato lately called (TRENITALIA)) and they offer a reliable service. Most of the country is accessible by rail although some of the railway stations (esp. in smaller places) are pretty much outside the town centre. This was the case for us in eg. Milazzo and Taormina. Bus services are always available connecting the station with the centre but this will cost you an additional ITL 1500 (mostly). In larger cities however the central stations are usually very conveniently placed.Train delays are said to be frequent but we had no problems during three weeks of railing. Between major cities there are InterCity and EuroStar services which are very fast and very efficient but neither the InterRail nor the EuRail pass is fully valid for them. You need to pay...

by sciarone

The absolute best way is by boat from New York but that is difficult now. 2nd best, fly and thus far the best airline we have used is Alitalia. We've gone with TWA, United, Lufthansa also but Alitalia was the nicesest and friendliest by far.Definitely by car. It gives you the freedom to roam without a schedule. Expensive? Yes, but worth it, You must plan though not to have a car in the major cities such as Rome or Florence. It is maddening to PARK. Stay on the outskirts and train, trolley or bus into the city or get your car AFTER you have seen the city.
