Does Trenitalia have vending machines?

So, you’re wondering about vending machines on Trenitalia trains, huh? I get it, sometimes you just need that mid-journey caffeine fix, or maybe a little something to munch on. I mean, who wants to be stuck on a long train ride with nothing but stale air and regrets?

Yeah, some of the Intercity trains – the nicer ones, usually – do have vending machines. Think crisps, maybe a chocolate bar, and definitely some drinks. I remember once, on a trip from Rome to Florence (which, let me tell you, is a long ride), I was practically dying of thirst. Luckily, they had a vending machine, and that icy cold bottle of water was like a little miracle. Seriously, it saved my life. Okay, maybe not my life, but my mood definitely improved!

But don’t count on it being a given. Not every train has them, you know? It’s kind of a lottery. So, my advice? Be prepared. Bring your own snacks and drinks. Trust me on this one – especially if you have picky eaters with you, or, god forbid, kids. That way, you won’t be stuck staring longingly at empty vending machine shelves. You’ll thank me later. (Though, a little emergency chocolate never hurt anyone, right?)
