Why we like it
The sleeper train is the real win here — you're not burning daylight hours on a journey, you're sleeping through it. Rome and Palermo make a solid pairing if you want baroque grandeur plus messy street food and Norman architecture. The Colosseum ticket saves queuing, which matters when you've got limited time.
Fair warning: the listing doesn't spell out how many nights you're getting or what "accommodation" actually means (three-star hotel, agriturismo, shared dorm?). You'll need to check the full itinerary before committing, as the cheapest packages often come with trade-offs on room quality or location.
