Train Travel

Several direct daily trains run by the Italian state railway, Ferrovia dello Stato (892021 toll-free in Italy www.trenitalia.com), link Florence and Rome with Perugia and Assisi, and local service to the same area is available from Terontola (on the Rome-Florence line) and from Foligno (on the Rome-Ancona line). Intercity trains between Rome and Florence make stops in Orvieto, and the main Rome-Ancona line passes through Narni, Terni, Spoleto, and Foligno.

Within Umbria, a small, privately owned railway operated by Ferrovia Centrale Umbra (024/73000541) runs from Città di Castello in the north to Terni in the south via Perugia. Note: train service isn't available to either Gubbio or Urbino.
