Trains to Rome proving popular with football fans

With low cost flights selling out rapidly, fans wanting to follow their team to Rome for the Champions League final are looking for alternative ways to get to the Eternal City.

Rail Europe is today seeing an increase in the number of bookings it makes to Rome as football fans book their seats even though tickets for the final have yet to be released.

With a direct overnight service from Paris and indirect services via Milan the train is one of the easiest ways to travel to Rome, avoiding the airport queues and transfers that often spoil the start of a trip abroad.

For fans who have already booked flights, Rail Europe can also book tickets to Rome from destinations including Milan, Venice, Florence, Geneva or even further afield.

Availability is limited, so anyone thinking of booking a train to Rome should act quickly.
