INSIDE the unique Arlecchino train: Milan to Venice

The remarkable Arlecchino - Harelquin train is back up and running after many years out of service!
I made a Bright Trip guide: https://www.brighttrip.com/europebytrain This incredible, unique design - a four car, abbreviated version of the legendary luxury Settebello train - features a beautiful observation lounge and has been lovingly restored by Fondazione FS, Italy's state-owned railway heritage foundation. I took a trip for just €60 between Milan and Venice and WOAH, was it worth it!

You can book tickets like I did at https://www.fondazionefs.it/content/f... for the next trip! Keep an eye on the site, the train runs as and when and not to a schedule...plus there's plenty of other amazing heritage runs on there too with other trains!

Special thanks to Chris Ogilvie who alerted me to the train running again, and for letting me use a small portion of his footage from his video:    • Rome to Milan on the ETR252 Harlequin...  

This year I'll be taking more of the world's finest and most spectacular trains. VIA Rail's four-day epic "The Canadian", the Hiram Bingham up to Macchu Picchu in Peru, the glorious El Chepe in Mexico, Amtrak's Southwest Chief and MORE will all come to your screens in 2022.
