Hi
I'm going for a week's holiday in Geno(v)a in Italy at the start of June.
I know there's been a vaguely similar thread on travel from Nice-Torino, but it doesn't answer all things I'd like to ask you experts:
1. I looked on the Trenitalia website, thinking of a visit to Milan, and there were BASE and MINI fares, one being about twice the price of the other. What's the difference?
2. So in fact, is it worth booking trains in advance on the net, like it is in Spain, or is it more convenient/same price/cheaper when I'm in Italy?
3. Any particular scenic routes or preserved railways worth seeing?
4. I'd like to visit some cities. I've thought of Milan, but what about Nice, Florence, Turin, Savona etc.? I was thinking of having three days-out out of my six-day stay.
5. Any 'Rovers' or suchlike available?
Any help at all would be most welcome. I'm staying about five minutes walk from the main station.
