Italy Confirms High-Speed Rail Links with Germany and Austria 'by 2026'

  • Italy’s state-owned railway company has announced that new high-speed international routes connecting Milan and Rome with Munich and Austria are scheduled to launch by 2026.
  • These cross-border connections result from agreements with Deutsche Bahn and Austrian operator ÖBB to improve travel times and rail integration.
  • The Milan-Munich route will take about 6.5 hours with stops in Brescia and Innsbruck, while the Rome-Munich route lasts 8.5 hours, including Florence and Verona stops.
  • Travel time will reduce by roughly 75 to 105 minutes initially and by an additional hour when the Brenner Base Tunnel reopens around 2032.
  • Services will start with one daily connection per route and expand to ten high-speed routes, including Berlin and Naples, as part of a European Commission pilot scheme.
