can anyone tell me about how much it costs to take the train from bergamo to viareggio, or if there's a better way to go? i went to the trenitalia website, but it kept making my computer crash!

The cost seems to vary a bit depending upon time of day, etc. For second class, it looks like it is around 28 euros. Time is approximately 5 to 6 hours.

In the future, you may want to post questions like this in the Italy forum since it seems a bit more travel related.
