Traveling between 3 cities in italy - do I need to buy railpass in US? |
Traveling between Rome, Florence, and Venice with some day trips to nearby attractions. Is it better to buy a railpass that promisses unlimited travel for X number of days, or is it cheaper to buy rail tickets in Europe right before travel? Is this railpass deal just a way to suck the money out of unalerted tourists? Or is it really the best way to go? Also, what is the best place to buy railpass?
Thanks |

It is cheaper to buy rail tickets in Europe right before travel. You can easily show up at the ticket office and buy the ticket for the day.
Railpass - I would only recommend that during Xmas and Easter holidays (and just for particular routes!). |

I have no direct experience with rail passes, except for what I heard from friends that have used and have found them OK.
Depending on the season, trains in second class can be very crowded and therefore uncomfortable. I advise you to go first class, especially if you travel directly from Rome to Venice.
Remember that you have to make reservations ahead of time.
When you travel shorter distances make sure you don't get on a train that makes all the stops. Not only will the trip be much slower, but you will have to contend for space with all the daily commuters. Please don't forget to stick your ticket in the machine that will stamp it as soon as you get on the train. If you don't, you get a big fine.
Have a good time. |

I have traveled in Italy both with and without a railpass. It does offer its conveniences, like never having to wait in line for tickets, but can be a hassle at the same time if you have to buy a supplement for a high speed train.
You might look online at http://www.trenitalia.com and figure out how much fares cost, for example florence to rome, florence to venice, etc, and compare the prices of the tickets to the price of the railpass. In my experience the railpass wasn't that much of a bargain. Plus, most train stations now have self-service ticket machines that are incredibly convenient (and take credit cards!)
buon viaggio! |

I've used the Tren Italia website quite a bit with great success. You definitely want to take direct, non-stop trains as much as possible but they fill quickly. Therefore, forget about a railpass but make your reservations through the Tren Italia website ahead of time. When you get to the station, they have automatic kiosks where you can print your ticket and hop on board. This way, you're on the train you want but don't have to hastle with a railpass. It's the only way to go...
