Excellent question! Handling luggage on Trenitalia trains is straightforward, but there are some key things to know for a smooth trip.
Here’s a complete guide on what to do with your luggage:
1. Overhead Racks (The most common spot) Found in: All trains (Regionale, Intercity, Frecciarossa, etc.). Best for: Carry-on sized suitcases, backpacks, and medium bags. Capacity: They are spacious on modern high-speed trains (Frecciarossa, Frecciargento, Frecciabianca). On older Regional trains, space can be more limited.
2. Luggage Racks at the End of Carriages Found in: High-speed and Intercity trains. Best for: Larger suitcases that won’t fit overhead. Look for: Open shelving or dedicated spaces near the entrance doors. This is a secure spot as it’s in your line of sight if you’re seated nearby.
3. Space Between Back-to-Back Seats Found in: Most trains with rows of seats. Best for: Medium-sized suitcases or bags. Note
