+2Hello all,
I live in Rome and planning to travel to Amsterdam in October. If anyone can suggest any ideal routes to reach Amsterdam from Rome?
I have a first class pass and what are the advantages of this pass and where I can use it Ideally?
Thank you

You can go (roughly) via France or via Germany.
It’ll take about two days, so you’ll neet to split it up somewhere in the middle. So depends if you want to visit something kinda on the way in France, Germany, Switzerland and maybe Austria.
Depends what you value, the pass gives you flexibility to make as much detours as you want.Scenic routes, places you’ve always wanted to see. All possible.
France is quicker, but more expensive when it comes to reservations and they are mandatory. Usually very comfy seats in 1st class, but not much of a service otherwise.
Germany is slightly slower, but trains are more frequent reservations are optional and cheaper. Seats in 1st class are good, and the service is also better (Usually you can order a bit of catering at your seat)

You can do it in 1 long day, if you really want. See bahn.de. The best is then to leave early, so you have some margin left if any delays happen

Yeah, I was mainly looking at the option of travelling via Germany. I did interrail earlier through Austria and also thank you for the information. I will look into what’s possible.
+2There is also the option of going via Zürich and taking the night train from there to Amsterdam.
Thank you and that’s a great alternative as well.

Yes, I saw one option with 3 transfers and 16hrs of Journey but the only issue is I need to catch the night train at Basel and will be only having 12 mins of transfer time (Hoping there are no delays).

After reviewing all the options, I prefer this route as the frequency of trains from Rome to Milan and Milan to Zurich is quite high. Also, I have like 3 to 4 hrs of gap before I board the night train at Zurich.
Thank you

Then just leave from Rome earlier. If you mention your travel date, people will gladly propose something.

October 28th is the travel date and I found a route from Rome to Zuirch via Milan and then Nightjet from Zurich to Amsterdam. Thank you
