I ditched a quicker (and cheaper) flight to spend two days travelling across Italy by train instead... and here is why YOU should too
I know what you are thinking, why get the train when a plane is quicker and cheaper? Once in Paris, it's a frantic dash across from Gare Du Nord to the absolute chaos of Gare de Lyon where my journey really begins. I'm here to board TrenItalia’s rapid Frecciarossa 1000 from Paris to Naples, with an over-night stay in Milan in between. I have a seat in the Executive carriage, the service’s premium first class compartment, at a cost of €305 (£264) one way. But the Executive carriage is still pleasant as we speed towards our destination via Rome.
