What are public restrooms like in Italy?

Finding a Toilet in Italy Public restrooms can be very difficult to find in Italy, next to impossible in places like Venice. The status of the toilets can range from great to dismal. Few have toilet seats (an Italian phenomena) or toilet paper of any kind. Most are pay toilets, usually under one euro.

Do Italian trains have bathrooms?

There is typically one bathroom per train car on Italian trains. On newer trains, and especially high-speed trains, they are more spacious than what you might find on an airplane and offer the same basic features as those of a plane lavatory – a flushable toilet, sink with running water, soap, and paper towels.

Why do toilets not have seats in Italy?

It's sad to say but five-star toilets are still rarer than hen's teeth in much of Italy, and one-star toilets abound. Apparently, the toilet seats are there originally but, then, they break. The seats break because people stand on them. People stand on them because they are not kept clean enough to sit on.
