• From there, it continues down Avinguda del Paral·lel toward the waterfront.
• The driver will enter Port de Barcelona through the main access road.
• Clear signage points to Moll Adossat (Terminals A–D), where all major cruise ships dock.

Rome to Venice on Trenitalia Frecciarossa 9490

Departure Board (Partenze) and Tracks (Binario)

Important: Be at the station at least 20 minutes prior to departure.

Check the partenze. Partenze means departures in Italian, whereas Arrivi means arrivals. Find your train number under the Partenze column and go to the correct platform for your departure. Knowing your train number is key because the Partenze will display the final destination of the train. If you are traveling from Florence to Rome, your train might actually keep going to Naples – so it will be Napoli which shows on the board. If you keep watching, all of the stops will scroll by in the smaller letters next to the main destination.
