2. i need an unlimited pre-paid data sim for 7 days. what would be the best carrier for this? any idea on approximate cost?
thanks so much in advance for your time =)
I don't think trains in Italy are that cheap. Rome to Naples, Milan to Bologna, wherever I go I seem to cough up 60-90E per ticket. I usually buy at the station because my plans usually have to be flexible.
That said, it is worth looking at the Trenitalia website to pre-purchase when possible. Yesterday, two of us traveled from Lamezia to Rome on a 2 for 1 Trenitalia 96E special that was only visible on their website. You couldn't purchase it at the train station. The week before we went from Rome to Lamezia without awareness of the special, and paid 96E each.
