ITALY TRANSPORTATION Italy's main way of transportation is trains/subways. They go all around the country. And if you're lucky you can catch a cab. The country is very populated, especially the cities. It would be quicker to walk to your destination than take a cab, the traffic is horrible in the cities. There are also many canals for roads in some cities. So the fastest way to get around in those cities is by the canals. So the best way to get around the country is probably by train.
