Should I get a Eurail pass to travel around Italy on a budget? If yes, which pass?
I am just visiting Nice in France and want to go from Nice to Venice by train. After that travel around Italy on train. Have a tight budget. Should I get a eurail pass or get seperate destination tickets?
In Italy I intend to use the train for Venice-Florence, Florence-Pisa-Florence, Florence-Siena-Florence and Florence-Rome. Could I get cheap tickets between these places if I dont have a eurail pass. Also, in Nice, will want to make a day trips to Monte Carlo and Cannes. I am already above the age of a student pass and travelling with a partner. Will it be cheaper to go with on the spot bookings of train tickets or with a pass? Thanks for all suggestions!
Point-to-point second-class tickets for all of that, excluding the day-trips from Nice, would run about $225 USD per person. A pass for Italy only (Trenitalia Pass), one person, would be $198 (including an add-on day), but you would still need to pay about $50 for the part of travel outside of Italy from Nice, so $248 USD total.
It is possible that a rail representative could advise in how better to use such a pass to your advantage; however, point-to-point looks somewhat cheaper. Passes generally only save a lot on long journeys, although in someways they make travel more convenient as they are easier to keep up with.
