Thank you for the reply. I am seeing some schedules on the rail europe site now. It looks like there is a direct train at 8:13 from Milan Porta Garibaldi to Venice S. Lucia that will take 4 hr 29 mins. With my eurail pass there are good seats I can reserve in business class for a low price. Would you recommend this journey? There are shorter ones that require a change and cost much more.Also, it looks like Milan Porta Garibaldi station isn’t too far from Milan Centrale?
Thank you, that is a relief!Would this itinerary below likely get sold out (for first week of Aug)? Should I book this one now?18.30 Interlaken Ost18.52 SpiezChange trains19.05 Spiez20.12 Domodossola Change from train to bus20.30 Domodossola22.50 Milano Centrale
Thank you all for your help so far. I am trying to book seats for a direct train from Milan Centrale to Venice S. Lucia on Thu 8 Aug in the morning. The rail europe site doesn’t show any direct trains on that day. Is it too soon to book our seats? We have 1st class Eurail passes.I hope I am not too late and those trains are sold out?
Thank you for the details. Would another option be to enjoy the scenic train from Interlaken to Lucerne and then take a direct bus from Lucerne to Milan? If yes, would those busses be covered by the Eurail pass? It looks like the driving distance is about 3 hours from Lucerne to Milan.
thank you. Where are you seeing that schedule? I haven’t been able to find it on rail europe or rail planner. Do I need to reserve seats on any of those segment? I bought a 1st class Eurail pass.
Thank you for the reply. We are looking to travel on Aug 6 from Interlaken to Milan at around 6pm. Right now when I look on raileurope.com it comes backing saying they couldn’t find any results. On the rail planner app, I only see journeys that are 7+ hours long? If i look at earlier dates (in June), there is a 3h 55 journey from Interlaken to Milan at 6:30pm. So I am hoping when the Aug timetable is updated, I will see that journey again with some added time (55min) for the bus from Domodossola?
If I want to avoid the Domodossola to Milan construction, would an option to take a train from Interlaken to Bern, then take the direct train from Bern to Milan? Would this route also go through Domodossola?Also when do the timetables for the Italy trains come out for Aug? It doesn’t look like I can see anything yet.thanks!
Appreciate all the help on this forum! If I book the 1st call Eurail pass, can I still choose 2nd class seats on TGV trains or other trains that require reservations? I am only thinking of 1st class pass in order to sit in the Prestige class on the Goldenpass express.Or is it possible to buy at 2nd class Eurail pass and just upgrade 1 journey/day on Goldenpass express to 1st class?
Thank you for the reply. For Paris-Geneva, when I go on raileurope.com I should select “add railpass” and specify eurail pass to book just the seats correct? Any recommendation for upper or lower deck, and if we are family of 4 should we choose duo or table options?For Geneva-Montreux-Interlaken, I made seat reservations for the Montreux-Interlaken segment through gpx site because I wanted the prestige class train. Hopefully I did that right? For Interlaken-Milan, we are short on time so I don’t think the scenic route will be an option. On some sites I am seeing that there is 6:30pm train that goes to Spiez and then direct to Milan. Are you saying part of the journey will be by bus? Do you have any other suggestions? Appreciate the help
