Trenitalia, Italy’s national railway operator, runs affordable and comfortable sleeper trains called InterCity Notte (ICN) from the north, all the way along the two coasts, to the very south of country — even to Sicily. And it’s the InterCity Notte trains that go all the way to Sicily that are incredibly special. To cross the Messina Strait and get from the tip of the Italian boot to the island of Sicily, InterCity Notte trains board a ferry. Yes, the train actually goes on a boat to cross the two-mile stretch of water and then reconnects to the rail network in Sicily. Apparently, nothing stands in the way of an Italian train and its destination.
