Can you take luggage on Italo?

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.



Italo, Italy's private high-speed rail operator, has a very generous and efficient luggage policy, though it does have some specific rules based on the "ambience" (class) you book. In Smart Class (Economy), passengers are technically limited to luggage that does not exceed 75 x 53 x 30 cm to ensure it fits in the overhead racks or designated storage areas. However, in Prima Business and Club Executive classes, there are no strict size limits for suitcases, and you can bring larger "XXL" bags. Regardless of class, there are no weight limits, but you must be able to carry and stow your own bags as there is no checked-luggage service. Italo trains feature three main storage areas: overhead racks for small bags, under-seat space for medium items, and large luggage racks at the ends of the carriages for heavy suitcases. In 2026, it is highly recommended to use the "lockers" available in some coaches for extra security on long journeys. Unlike airlines, Italo does not charge for "extra" bags, but you must ensure your items do not block the aisles or vestibules for the safety and comfort of other passengers.

You can store your baggage on the floor-standing racks located at the end of the carriage, in the overhead rack, under your seat, in front of your seat, or even right next to you—if you have enough room.
