TRAINS

It is possible to travel to Basilicata by train, using the Eurostar from London to Paris then a connecting overnight sleeper train from Paris through France to any of Italy’s major cities. It can be remarkably comfortable and affordable way to travel – and allows you to see more of the countryside than you would if you chose to fly.
