Latest page update: 3 November 2024

The IC trains in Italy are the InterCity services that connect 200 train stations across the country. 

In the general hierarchy of the different types of train in Italy, the InterCity services are below the high-speed connections offered by Trenitalia and Italo. 

Compared to the Trenitalia freesia services or the Italo high-speed options, the InterCity trains are generally slower but slightly cheaper. 

Most of the train stations that host InterCity services are on the Italian mainland but unlike the Freccia and Italo services, the InterCity trains are available in Sicily. 

InterCity trains are available from most of the major coastal resorts in Italy as well as a number of inland cities, mountain towns and ski resorts among others.
