Buying a Ticket at an Italian Train Station: Lesson Guide

Whether traveling from Rome to Naples or Venice to Milan, buying a ticket at the *stazione ferroviaria* (train station) is an essential scenario. This roleplay helps you master the dialogue at the ticket counter, choose your ticket type, and ask for the platform.

Language & Cultural Tips

In Italian, a one-way ticket is "solo andata" and a round-trip is "andata e ritorno". When you need to know where your train is, ask for the "binario" (platform). Crucial cultural tip: If you buy a physical paper ticket, you must validate it (*convalidare il biglietto*) in the small machines on the platform before boarding, otherwise you could be fined!
