Italian Rail Passes

In general, train travel in Italy is less expensive than other countries in Europe. Most seasoned travelers just buy point to point rail tickets. You would have to travel a long way each of your four travel days to make the Trenitaly Rail Pass (purchase or get information) a worthwhile investment. Still, if you don't speak Italian, you may opt for the convenience of a rail pass. A better deal for travelers going to France and Italy might be the combo pass (purchase or get information). Remember, with these passes you'll have to use your pass travel days for longer journeys to make the rail pass worth the cost.
