Are there bathrooms on Italo trains?

There is typically one bathroom per train car on Italian trains. On newer trains, and especially high-speed trains, they are more spacious than what you might find on an airplane and offer the same basic features as those of a plane lavatory - a flushable toilet, sink with running water, soap, and paper towels.

The standards of toilets in train stations vary widely: we have found some with excellent facilities and some that are very basic. As there is not one company operating public restrooms in Italy, you never know exactly what you get. It is, however safe for families not to count on baby changing facilities!

Passenger trains usually have toilets, and the on-board lavatory takes many forms. The simplest train toilets are those called Drop Chute Toilets or Hopper Toilets.

Like I mentioned above, Italo is usually cheaper than Trenitalia but because the cabins on lower-class tickets aren't the most comfortable, I'll usually consider Italo only for trains that are less than 2 or 3 hours long unless the Comfort ticket class is cheaper than Trenitalia.

Because these train trips are all about the view, cars with wrap-around windows are common. Perhaps the most popular scenic train route in Italy is the Bernina Express, which connects Tirano in Italy to St. Moritz in the Swiss Alps.

Luggage is included in the ticket price. There is no limit on the number and size of the items of luggage you take on board, but Italo asks you to keep in mind the limited space available on a train. The luggage areas in the vestibule of each coach are under video surveillance.

Some trains require seat reservations, and on other trains it's optional. If you're riding a train on which reservations are only recommended or completely optional and you don't have a reservation, you can sit in any available seat in the appropriate class you have booked.
