Trains and Rail services to Sicily
if you love train travel then you might enjoy the trip by rail to Sicily. The only issue though is the delay each side of ferry which links the mainland and Sicily near to Messna. The settings for the train each side mean that the journey is 1-2 hours longer than if a bridge were built to connect the island with the mainland. Learn more about travelling by train to Sicily.
