Italy has more coastline than France or Spain, and whichever bit of coast you choose you know there will be lively cities, gorgeous landscape and everything else we love about Italy not far away.

If you’ve ever had your train slide onto a ferry in Messina, or travelled by rail along the eastern bank of Lake Como to Milan, you’ll know that Italy loves its trains, and with good reason.
