Frequently asked questions about travelling by coach from Milan to Rome
Going from Milan to Rome by coach is too far for a day-trip. The shortest coach from Milan to Rome gets there in 7 hours, but most average a little more than 8 hours. By train, a day-trip is more feasible—the fastest train takes about 3 hours. But even if you were to depart at 6 a.m. with plans to spend 12 hours there, you wouldn’t be able to take in all the fantastic sights Rome has to offer, from the Colosseum to the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the restaurants of the hip Trastevere neighbourhood.
The coach ride from Milan to Rome is actually quite beautiful. On the road southeast toward Bologna on SS9, known as Via Aemilia, you will drive past idyllic Italian pastures and through cities like Parma and Modena. Just outside of Bologna your route will cut south, as you pass by rolling hills and nature reserves such as Riserva Naturale Contrafforte Pliocenico. The coach ride even takes you through the outskirts of Florence, at which point you’ll cross the historic Arno River.
