Italy pass

What is the pass for?
And for which region if it’s for art, museums, etc?

I can’t find a pass called Italy Pass online.

I see an Italia Pass offered by Italia Rail, a US based travel agency specializing in Trenitalia tickets. It only includes one 1st class train ticket and a passel of tours and discounts. Not something I would go for, but for others, who knows.

Without more details it is hard to know, but in general countywide things like rail passes and generalized discounts passes are beat out on cost by good planning and preparation. Some city or collected museum passes are worth the price as long as you really plan to use them to their fullest.

The state train system is trenitalia: https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html
And the private company that runs fast trains between big cities only is .italo: https://www.italotreno.com/en
and I recommend buying directly from them. Both have apps to help buy tickets and check schedules.

When looking at museum tickets and passes make sure you are at the official site and not a third party sight. Often they will advertise to appear before the official sites in search results. Again buy directly and avoid anyone trying to "help" you by inserting themselves into the process.

Have a great trip,

This is what I'm talking about

That is what I posted.

I always purchase transportation, accommodation and attraction tickets directly through their official websites, because if an issue arrises then I am dealing with them, and not a third party vendor. The one exception, is if a small hotel does not have their own booking platform, then we use Booking.com As for trains in Italy, the Trenitalia app is very user friendly. I have not used the Italo app, but would assume that it is also easy to use.

For the benefit of others, I picked this up (below) from one of your posts regarding a 2-day stay in Switzerland: 6 lItalian locations in 17 days this Sept. You are also traveling in August to Amsterdam, Roermond, Germany (where?) Belgium (where?) and Paris, leaving Paris Sept 3rd some location in Switzerland., and then to Italy. I'd be interested in your complete itinerary with # of nights planned for each as that's a LOT of moving around!

We plan to visit Milan Venice Florence Abruzzo the Amalfi Coast and
finish in Rome. I am still planning

But to your original question, I haven't used the pass and I don't know of any past posters who has. Most recent example of a similar question:

I'll vote with Christine and give it a hard no for these reasons:

Hoho buses are not personally of benefit, especially in Rome and Florence. Those are cities that are best explored on foot whenever possible, and the historic centers - especially Florence's - are not overly expansive. Traffic can also be a problem, and they won't be able to breeze by/stop at many of the more visited attractions due to pedestrian areas and too-tight streets.

A single, high-speed, 1st class train journey: ItaliaRail isn't the official operator of Italian trains; those would be Trenitalia and Italo so you'd be booking through a 3rd party. Italian trains are comfortable enough that we've never seen the need to travel 1st-class, and you can probably land a good price on your single longest high-speed journey without the pass. Free Florence to Pisa train ticket? Will you even be in Florence long enough to use this benefit, and is it round trip or just one-way? I also don't see any need to use the lounge at Termini in Rome: arrive and off you go to your hotel.

Access to wholesale hotel rates via the trip planning team: I wouldn't personally use this either as I'm guessing they have a limited list, and the selections may be very expensive, even at 'wholesale' rates, or not up-to-par. As well, you'd need to check carefully for exactly WHERE those accommodations are located.

It's OK to feel differently but the 24/7 English speaking customer support isn't something we'd probably use, and may apply just to the rail portion.

Car rental and driving itineraries: not a benefit for your trip, I'm guessing.

"Expert" restaurant suggestions: you can find those on this forum.

Lastly, one of the biggest red flags for me is that they do not tell you HOW to redeem each included benefit until AFTER you've purchased the pass and activated it. Based on how other passes work, I strongly suspect that you're going to need make advance, timed-entry reservations for the Colosseum, Uffizi and Accademia, and do that through their own individual ticketing websites, just as you would if not using a pass. Those entries are not "free", as claimed: you are paying for them with part of the $199.00 price. "Skip the line" is a marketing tool promising a benefit that every tourist simply booking an advance, timed-entry ticket enjoys, and no one skips security-check queues.

Just my 2-cents. :O)
