1a Travelling from Basel (Switzerland) to Florence (Italy)

The train journey from Switzerland to Italy usually leads via Milan. First use a direct Eurocity train to Milan. From there you have excellent high-speed-train connections to everywhere in Italy.

Saver fare tickets are available from 29 EUR. You find timetables and ticket prices via our booking links. Sometimes you have to book two tickets, first from your place of departure to Milan, then a second one to your final destination in Italy.

If you travel via the scenic Bernina and Galcier Express routes, you will arrive in Tirano (border to Switzerland) from where you continue to Milan.

Instead of the direct route from Switzerland to Italy, you can also have a very scenic trip trough the Alps. Read therefore our blog.
