Rail Passes

Italian Countryside

Rail passes are excellent value if you want flexibility, if you plan to travel extensively throughout one or several countries, or if you plan to cover long distances during your travels. Passes provide access to most rail routes and allow you hassle-free travel since you won’t have to wait in lines at the train station to get tickets. We also offer an exclusive RRP (Rail Refund Plan) product that covers the cost of passes due to theft or loss. In some cases, you will still have to make reservations or pay supplements, but many routes allow for unlimited pass use without requiring any extra fees. Use our new pass search technology to help you determine what combination of passes is best for you!

Eurail pass features include:

  • Unlimited rail travel in two or more specific countries
  • 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 days within a 2-month period

This option is for customers who have previously purchased a pass or open ticket, but wish to travel on a train where a reservation is required.

A pass or open ticket does not guarantee a seat on such trains.

In Italy, most trains require a reservation. Check with the rail operator you wish to use if you are not sure whether a reservation is required.
