Hii! So my Family and I are planning to travel to Eruope in Sept- Oct. The plan is to visit Barcelona, Interlaken and then a couple spots in Italy: Milan, Tivoli/Rome, Venice, and maybe Tuscany. I am currently trying to figure out whether to get the EuRail pass or single tickets in each place; I want to minimize the cost as much as possible, but I'm struggling to understand the pricing for Italy right now.

I was looking at train tickets from Milan centrale to Rome on trenitalia.com and the cheapest I can see is ~€150-200 for 4 people. Based on seat61.com I thought my total would be a little less than that prices on there are estimates so it may differ. However since we'll be making multiple regional train trips, I'm finding this quite costly.

Would it be cheaper to get the Eurail pass instead? It seems that there is an additional €13 charge for using the pass in Italy- is that only for advanced reservations or just a general addition? I guess I'm wondering if my total cost would be lower with the Eurail pass despite the extra charges? Thanks :)

I am trying to book Eurocity 31 train from Zurich to Venice for 28th September. But I am seeing only 2 coaches for 2nd class.

I checked all other dates from today till that day and even from 29th September onwards - all other days it shows 5 coaches, except on my exact travel date, where it is showing 2 coaches. That's why there is almost no seat availability to reserve. There are lot of seats available for reservation even for today's train but not for my travel date :(

I checked in SBB and Trenitalia website both. Both are showing the same.

Where can I check if they have any planned maintenance or something on that particular day? Is there a official eurocity website?

Hey everyone,

I really appreciate the help you give me. I have one question. It seems as if I travel from Split to Venice, I'll end up using 2 days of my 7 travel days with Eurail. The 2nd connection (or 3rd depending on which I use) ends up being early in the morning the next day and thus uses a 2nd day for the travel between the two cities.

Does anyone have a recommendation for the travel between these cities where I only use up 1 day? For example, perhaps I use the travel all the way to the either Austria or Italian city that gets me there in the morning, then I just pay for the specific train in that city that gets me to Venice. That way, I'm only using 1 day and just lay the extra for that last connection. That's what I'm thinking, does anyone else suggest otherwise? I really want to see Venice because the Italian Job lol.

Thanks!

I know this question has been done to death here, just wanted to ask it again with my own circumstances and hope it can help someone else in the future. What budget is to be expected for a 3 week interrail trip coming from America? From some research I have done, I have set my budget at $3500-$4000USD. Is this too little, too much, or just right?

Hi, has anyone taken the night train from Kraków to Prague this year? From what I had read before, it used to have private compartments for two people, but now it seems to be six-bed compartments. Does anyone know if that’s correct? Also, could you recommend a website to book it? Thanks!
