We (2 adults and 1 Youth) will be traveling to Rome in July 2025 and want to take a train to Germany, Austria, or some other destination to spend a couple of days then travel back to Rome for the last day of our vacation. I need help on how to go about this. Do I need a Eurail Pass or can I simply book passage by train? Are there restrictions or hurdles I need to jump to travel between countries in Europe?
Round trip from Rome to somewhere in Europe.

About destinations: too many options so I'll only mention my favourite railway.
The Bernina Railway between Italy and Switzerland is truly stunning in my opinion. There are hourly trains so it's really easy to travel on that line.
From Rome you'd go to Milan, then along Lake Como until you reach the Swiss border. Then the real fun begins haha. More details on https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/bernina-express.htm
St. Moritz isn't the most beautiful place to stay but there are so many cute villages elsewhere in the Engadin valley, all accessible by train.
After the Bernina experience you could stay longer in Switzerland, travel to Munich, etc. Lots to think about!
