Sicilian heritage trains.
More than 50 tours travelling on board vintage carriages to the most charming and evocative spots in Sicily. And you can also bring your bike along!
ph. Fondazione FS – Alessio Cecconi
The heritage trains are travelling back across the island’s most stunning and scenic railway lines.
Until the 10th of December, an extensive calendar of itineraries takes you on an exploration of a territory packed with historical and architectural wonders and unique flavours, connecting cities of art and places that are the guardians of breathtaking landscapes and witnesses of a millenary history.
Each heritage train itinerary allows you to visit beautiful destinations, in some stages even accompanied by qualified guides who will unveil the secrets of many wonders. And, alongside the Centoporte carriages from the 1930s and Corbellini carriages from the 1950s, you will have access to a compartment equipped to accommodate your bicycle free of charge.
