Train travel is one of the easiest and most economical ways of travelling within Italy & Sicily, especially between the major cities and towns. Cities such as Venice, Florence, Rome, Catania and Syracuse are all connected by the state-run system operated by the Ferrovie Dello Stato (FS). Travel between Venice and Rome by Eurostar train will take approximately 4 1/2 hours compared to a drive of 5-6 hours (excluding stops and traffic delays).

The area is known as the bread basket of Portugal and boasts vast fields of wheat and other grains.
