Italy’s principal rail company is allowing passengers to bring their dogs on trains for free this summer. Trenitalia, the country’s main operator, recently announced that small pets including cats and dogs do not need to pay for the next few months.

Which animals can travel for free on Italy’s trains?

Trenitalia is giving passengers the chance to bring their small pets with them without paying this summer. Dogs, cats and other pets can travel on the house if they fit within a carrier measuring a maximum of 70x30x50 centimetres. Animals must be placed within the carrier throughout the journey and passengers can only bring one pet per person.
