Hi Team,

Am from India staying in Zurich,Switzerland, and have Resident permit.
Planning to travel to Italy by train - To Milan, Bologna, Venice and Florence on March 30th and 31st.

1. Should I take Euro rail pass or Inter rail? 
2. Will the trains be operational on those two days, as its Easter eve?
3. Should I take one country pass or Global pass? 

   3.1 If I take Global pass, i need not take separate ticket in-bound and out-bound from Italy?
4. Is reservations required?
5. Can I board any train at anytime with the rail pass?

Also Please share an app/website to check the price to travel within Italy, like SBB.
Is there any day pass which could be utilised for a zone/town visit via other means of transport like bus or tram/ ferry.

Thank you.

 

 

For travel within Italy, check www.trenitalia.com.

Trains will definitely be running. They’ll however be busier than usual so you should book in advance. There are extra trains running from Zurich to Lugano/Milan on Good Friday : SBB app has been updated.

Compare regular tickets vs pass + seat reservations. Honestly I’m not sure which is better value as I expect tickets to be expensive.

You may travel with Eurail as you have a non-European passport.
