Italy is a well designed network of rail lines, and most of the popular routes are covered by those famous high speed Euro trains. The high-speed trains in Italy like the EuroStar and InterCity can be quite a bit more expensive than the slow trains. The differences between the fast and slow trains are probably obvious. The slower trains, stopping much more frequently along the way, take much longer to get from A to B. The high-speed trains stop less frequently, so get to each stop more quickly. With the high-speed trains, you’ll almost always be required to buy a reservation in addition to your ticket, which makes the cost of those fast trains even higher. With some slower trains you may not even be able to a reservation, as they may be entirely “first come, first served” when it comes to seating on the trains.

Keep in mind that if you are carrying an Italy Rail Pass, that is the equivalent of a ticket. In other words, if your reservation is required for a particular train and you’ve already got a Eurail Italy Pass, then you only need to purchase the reservation. If you don’t have an Italy rail pass, you’ll need to buy a ticket and a reservation, which can sometimes get printed on the same piece of paper

Italy is one of the most beautiful and most visited countries in Europe, and with its diverse cities and towns, there is no doubt in my mind that you’ll absolutely love Italy. Why do I love it so much? Well the fact that you can go ski in the Italian alps in the north, and then head off to wine and dine in the south makes it one unique and unforgettable experience.

Now here do you begin or go in Italy on the Eurail? The options are limitless and I find the trio of Rome, Venice and Florence to be the best starting point on your Eurail trip. These 3 cities are rated amon the top 10 best world attractions. Words cannot describe the beauty of these three cities, and if you’re traveling with your significant other, you will discover a country of romance. The amount of culture and sites to see in just these three cities would leave your head spinning, so make sure to allott enough time to see all you want to.

Since Italy is not known as a cheap country, you’ll be pleased with the usual great prices you’ll find on your Eurail Pass. If you have a lot of time to take most of Italy in, then you’ll be happy know know the rail network can take you mostly everywhere in Italy easily. I highly recommend taking the time to visit Naples and Milan, or take a tour of the smaller gems such as Pisa or Turin. So wherever you decide to go, I hope you have a wonderful time and of course, safe travels!
