Public transport in Italy is very developed. Almost all cities and resorts are connected by rail. There are also buses between cities, and the largest of them are also connected by domestic flights.
The fastest and most convenient way to travel within the country is by using high-speed trains. Specifically designed for tourists, Italy Rail-card and Italy Flexi-card are available, which are valid for several days and not limited to a specific number of trips. The cost of a single train ticket depends on the distance between cities. You can check the schedule, find out ticket prices, and even book tickets on this website.
In cities, buses are the most common mode of transportation. A bus ticket in Italy costs 1.50 EUR, but it's more cost-effective to purchase a day pass (BIG - 3-5 EUR) or a weekly pass (CIS - 12 EUR).
In Italy, there is a metro system only in two cities - Rome and Milan. The single fare cost is the same, and travel passes are valid for all types of transportation.
One of Italy's unique features is its developed water transportation. Of course, Venice, the city on water, comes to mind immediately, where not only the famous gondolas but also public boats called vaporettos are available (a single ticket costs 7 EUR). Ferries to Italian islands such as Capri, Ischia, Sardinia, and Sicily are also popular. You can check all ferry routes and book tickets in advance on this website.
Cabs here are not caught on the street, but ordered by phone or sought at special parking lots near the railway stations and subway exits. The cost of boarding is 5 EUR, and each kilometer costs about 1.35 EUR.
