        How do I find cheap train tickets from Lugano to La Spezia Centrale?

        If you’re planning a trip to Europe soon, our Trainline team of experts have put together some tips to help you find cheap tickets. Booking on the day in Europe is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or travel class.

        1. Book in advance

        The price of train tickets from Lugano to La Spezia Centrale starts at $61.33§ one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Most train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months ahead of time, so if you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find cheaper tickets.

        2. Be flexible with your travel times

        If you can, consider traveling outside of 'peak hours' (generally between 06:00 - 10:00 and 15:00 - 19:00 on weekdays) as lots of trains companies increase their ticket prices during these commuter times.

        3. Buy a rail pass

        If you're visiting multiple locations on your trip, buying a rail pass can be cheaper than buying individual tickets. We're official retailers of Eurail Passes that are valid for travel in one country or multiple countries across Europe.

        4. Choose a slower or connecting train

        On some busier routes, you might have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have some extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare.

        5. Look out for train ticket sales and deals

        Many train companies in Europe will often run sales and offers on tickets throughout the year, so keep an eye out!

        For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

        §Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.
