Omio, the online platform that allows people to book trains, buses and flights throughout Europe at affordable prices, conducted an analysis to suggest to art lovers traveling by train how to reach Italy’s main art cities by taking advantage of offers on Frecciarossa tickets, thus saving time and money. In this regard, the portal has selected five cities connected by high-speed trains, showing how it is possible to pay up to 50 percent less than the normal ticket price on Trenitalia’s basic fare.
Some examples: a day trip from Milan to Florence, round-trip, can get to cost only 34.50 euros (instead of 56, saving 38%), the Bologna-Rome trip 34.50 euros (instead of 62, saving 44%), and the Naples-Venice route can be covered by paying only 54 euros (instead of 108, saving 50%). Fares are diverse, ranging fromsame-day toweekend roundtrips, providing savings of between 28 and 38 percent (such as on the Turin-Florence route, costing 34.50 euros with a 28 percent savings, or for the Naples-Florence trip, 54.50 euros with a 28 percent savings). Still, those traveling as a couple on a Saturday can use the 2-for-1 offer on all suggested routes, and pay for one ticket instead of two, saving 50%.
What’s more, traveling to cities of art with Frecciarossa tickets allows you to get various discounts and facilities in many locations. For example, in Rome it is possible to get, from Sunday to Thursday, a discount on the show Viaggi nell’antica Roma curated by Piero Angela and Paco Lanciano, running at the Fori Imperiali, or to buy, every Saturday, two tickets for the price of one on the Hiroshige exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale. In Venice, on the other hand, you can get a discount to visit the Architecture Biennale. In addition, you can arrange your trip to take advantage of all the extra opportunities for discounts. For example, the first Sunday of the month is free at state museums in many cities, while in Turin there are several days when you can get into museums for free: on Thursdays after 8 p.m. at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, on Tuesdays you can visit the GAM, the Museum of Oriental Art and the Rocca del Borgo Medievale free of charge, while on Wednesdays admission is free at Palazzo Madama and on Saturdays at the Museo del Risparmio.
