As the holiday season approaches, Italy is offering travellers a unique and nostalgic way to experience Europe’s renowned Christmas markets. Italy’s state-owned rail operator, FS Treni Turistici Italiani, has launched two specially designed heritage trains that promise to take you on a festive journey like no other. The Espresso Monaco and Espresso Assisi will transport passengers from Rome to the grand markets of Munich and Umbria, recreating the golden age of festive rail travel.
These vintage trains are more than just a means of transportation—they are an experience in themselves, complete with seasonal treats, live music, and scenic views. If you’ve always wanted to travel in style during the Christmas season, these trains are a dream come true.
