Train from Rome to Florence
 

O.K. I have never taken a train in europe and I have a few questions.
I am going to take a train from Rome to Florence on May 27th.
1st question, Should I buy a ticket on-line before I leave home? Tickets are $50 for 1st class without reservations. Another $20 with a res. Are tickets cheaper at the train station in Rome? After i buy a ticket what do I do with it? Do I board the train and then give it to a conductor? Are tickets taken before you get on the train?
Thanks, Duke

Duke, thanks for your interest in FT. Your Q. is far more appropriate for FT's Travel forums. I'll move it to the most active TravelBuzz but you may wish instead to have it placed in the Rails thread of Travel, which is less active.
