Milan to Sicily on Italy’s UNIQUE sleeper train!
This is Italy’s UNIQUE overnight train, the Trenitalia InterCity Notte! I’ll be taking this sleeper train for a ride from Milan to Siracusa on Sicily, travelling in the InterCity Notte Excelsior suite for the journey to the island that even features one of the world’s last train ferry crossings! This trip is just as amazing as it sounds, so join me as I take the most exciting of all trains in Italy.

Grazie, video molto accurato e professionale!
Awesome trip man.
Wow, what a wonderful journey! Thanks for sharing it.
I remember back in 1972 travelling across either Holland or Denmark (or was it both?) by train and more than once, it ran onto a ferry, which quite dazzled me…!
Italian here:
there's a story behind this train, before it used to get all the way to palermo, but the wagons were the oldest type they had, often being without electricity, water or even heating, even in winter. Even if you got a ticket you weren't guaranteed to actually sit in your seat because they would often sell the same ticket to different people in different stations so this strange situation of two people with the same ticket arguing for the seat
In 2001 two women sued trenitalia (the italian train company) because they bought two couchettes tickets and instead had to sleep in one of those wagons that i mentioned before (no electricity, or heating) and it was december.
Then around 2015 when those wagons became so old that were deemed unreliable and they were all dismissed this new wagons arrived
mmm train fun
I from italy
Yes. Long time ago the same trains could carry cars of passengers too
Denmark 🇩🇰 is using one these ferry trains on the line Denmark 🇩🇰-> Germany 🇩🇪 & back
My dream railroad
Surprisingly well featured train. It doesn't look much, but it seems to have everything you'd need. Can't complain at that. And such nice views, unique experience and decent price. Tempting!
Can you do the nmbs next ?
Bro the station is similar to Paddington in the UK at 2:52
That’s what it takes to arrive in Sicily without the biggest suspension bridge in the world. Luckily it’s no longer missing, construction is coming!!!
a little tip DO NOT GO in the to the station from the central entry there are people you don't want to meet
I’m at Sicily now by car and the volcano is erupting quite hard. In the evening you can see the lava spitting in the air from calatabiano.
Don't worry, that fucking bridge will never be built. It's just propaganda from that animal of Salvini.
I am always amazed when foreign people praise our trains. We Italians really hate them 😂
8:06 as an italian, I'm ashamed of that thing
I'm Italian and I live in Messina
5:49 yeeeah that plug doesn't look safe
Bangladesh please!!!
Milano Centrale was built during the fascist regime (you can spot here and there some remains of it's symbols) and the architecture of that period was made of symmetric and majestic squared structures. That's why it seems so different from other modern stations.
one of the worst trains you could get on in europe, avoid it as it was death
Grazie. Mi hai fatto ricordare tutti i viaggi in treno che facevo da piccolo negli anni 70 quando andavo a trovare le mie nonne in Sicilia. Partivi da Milano stazione Centrale per arrivare a Catania. Ho dei Bellissimi ricordi di quei lunghi viaggi in cuccetta.
So beautiful and interesting trip🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yeah… i know how GOOD italy is…
not accepting the "extremely ugly" sentence directed to the double deck hitachi train, it's one of the best ever made…
Hey you have to travel with the NEG from Germany it is only a small route but there is a special feature where carriages from an IC are attached to this train for a trip
this line runs from Niebüll to Dagebüll
Great video, I've made this journey many times when I was child. What a wonderful memories. Next year should starts bridge construction, in this way you will reach Sicily from Milan in about 10 hours by high speed trains.
