Can I buy a ticket for a train?

Can i buy train ticket at the train station on the day i want to leave?

  • Hey Can i buy a train ticket from rome to florence at the train station or is it better to buy in advance ? just wondering how busy the service is ? thanks for your help :)

  • Answer:

    I've done this trip 3 times already and always bought it at the train station. The only time I would suggest to buy in advance if its on Sunday or Friday night. Alot of people go home for the weekend and you wont always get the train that you want or the time that you want to go. When i say in advance I mean.. maybe the day before you can go to the train station and buy it off the machines(it works in various languages).. Its not worth doing those long lines.

I agree with both of your previous answers. It depends on your flexibility and how many are travelling. I purchased tickets from Florence to Rome at the ticket machine in the Termini via Eurostar (it's like an express train) two days before we were supposed to depart because it was recommended. My fiancee and I had two seats adjacent on that train. The day we were supposed to depart we actaully ended up being early and were able to reschedule our tickets at the machine. But, we were not seated together. It was just about an hour so it was no big deal, but if you are with a group and want to sit together you should go in advance. Don't book it online. It was significantly more expensive for me to order the tickets in the US than to buy them at the Termini in Florence. I would also like to mention that I was going to Rome on a Friday. The myth is that people leave the city on the weekend. But that is the same myth in NYC. That is not true. I, like many other NY'ers would love to vacation every weekend, but that is not reality! So honestly, I don't know if this made a difference or not.

I disagree with martox45. The on station machines can give good deals. I found on one trip if I had bought a ticket from Bologna to Verona in advance would have cost an extra €22
