ITALY Readers's Tips - For train travel on the Italian National railway http://www.enitalia.m, a child between the ages of 4 and 12, when traveling with 2 adults, used to travel for free if you asked for or specified the Famiglia fare.The Famiglia fare was one of the many fares that appeared on the dropdown menu. However, I see now on the dropdown menu, two family discount options of 15% or 25% discount (on the sample trip I just entered for a trip in July from Florence to Venice. The fares shown on the dropdown menu don't match what is described in the FAQ (on top menubar for children's fares on the website now.I would expect that the FAQs will be updated soon. With regard to public transportation on the Amalfi coast, there is a discount for very young children on the SITA buses that but I don't remember the cutoff age.For the Flavio Gioia bus system that operates in Positano and Praiano and between these two towns, there is a discount for young children whose height does not exceed the marker at the front of the bus. I think that museums and Pompeii offer discounts to children but I don't recall details.I'm sure other readers can help you with that.

My wife and I are on 7 day guided trip in Rome.We have one day to ourselves.We'd like to go someplace else via public transportation.Any Suggestions Ostia antica the ancient roman seaport is well worth the short trip.ust 20 mi.rom Rome can be reached by train.ery extensive ruins.

If you don't want to go too far, I would suggest heading out to Tivoli.If you're willing to really make a day out of it, I would suggest Pompeii.
