🌎 Travellers can get into the Oktoberfest mood right from the start of the journey with Bavarian-themed entertainment on Italy’s new night train.
Italy has just introduced a new sleeper ‘beer train’ which will take travellers from Rome to Munich, right into Oktoberfest.
The Munich Express, also called the Espresso Monaco, is operated by state-owned FS Treni Turistici Italiani. Its special Bavarian-themed night train will take passengers on an epic 16-hour journey, complete with dancing, beers and dining.
“Forget the stress of driving and unnecessary stops: with us, the fun begins as soon as you get on board,” FS Treni Turistici Italiani said in a press release.
Travellers can enjoy traditional nibbles, fresh draft beer and Bavarian music, before turning in for the night in couchettes, seats or sleeping cars. Oktoberfest lovers can book double or single cabins from Rome, or even a four-berth sleeper for the whole family.
The journey itself is a picturesque one through Florence, Verona, Bologna and the Alps.
The service will run on two dates, 26 September and 3 October, with the train leaving the Termini station in Rome at 8pm each Friday, arriving in Munich at 2:30pm on Saturday. Passengers can catch the return train on Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm, to be back in Rome by early Monday morning at 6:30am.
Day travellers can board from a number of other cities such as Trento, Verona, Bressanone, Bolzano, Vipiteno, Fortezza, Brennero and Colle Isarco.
Fares for the Munich Express Oktoberfest special start from €99 each way, with passengers able to book with Railbook. However, travellers who book a round trip will get a discounted rate of €89 each way.
