FROM £489 pp · Save a day with the Intercity Notte overnight sleeper from Rome to Palermo. Includes Booking.com hotels and Colosseum skip-the-line tickets.
The Intercity Notte overnight sleeper from Rome to Palermo costs £489 per person — and you'll arrive in Sicily without burning a travel day or flight budget.
The deal
Your £489pp covers:
- Sleeper train ticket, Rome to Palermo on Intercity Notte
- Hotel accommodation in both Rome and Palermo (via Booking.com rates)
- Skip-the-line tickets for the Colosseum and Pompeii (via Tiqets)
You travel overnight and wake up in Sicily — no flight hassle, no early alarms.
Why we like it
Sleeper trains beat the flight-hotel slog. You save a full day of travel time versus flying, which means more time wandering Rome's streets or exploring the Amalfi coast. Skip-the-line access at major sites (especially the Colosseum) is genuinely useful during peak season. The price is straightforward — no hidden surcharges announced later.
Catch: the deal bundles Booking.com hotels at standard rates, so check if you'd get better value elsewhere. Duration isn't specified, so confirm exactly how many nights you're getting in each city before committing. The Tiqets tickets are only Colosseum and Pompeii — other attractions cost extra.
How to book
This was flagged on Travelzoo Top 20 in May 2026, so check availability directly with the operator. You'll book through Booking.com for hotels and confirm the sleeper train separately — Travelzoo usually links through to the partner site where you complete the full package purchase.
