Rome to Venice train cost - is this a good deal?

I'm seeing Super Economy fares of 27 euro at 10:50, 12:50, 13:50, 14:50, 17:25, 18:50, 19:50 at www.trenitalia.com. Where are you looking?

I was looking on the man in seat 61 on the Italia rail. Went onto Trentailia and found those 27E super economy seats too. Nice! Now is that a good price or is there a chance of them getting lower? If that is the best it will get, I will book them tonite.

Thirty bucks sounds like a super deal to me!

Carol,

I just checked the trenitalia website: http://www.trenitalia.com & you can purchase a super economy train ticket (2nd class) from Roma Termini to Venezia S. Lucia for 27€. for August 18th.

There are different price levels for train tickets: Super economy, Economy & Base

• Super economy are the least expensive (as low as 9€) & they sell out very fast,
  however, be aware that these tickets are nonrefundable & unchangeable
  so your dates must be firm.

• Economy tickets are inexpensive but they also come with some
  restrictions.

• Base tickets are full price tickets.

Carol,

Tickets at 27€pp are a great deal! You can check for tomorrow's date to get an idea of base (full) price & these tickets are going for 80€ - 109€ pp

Beware: If you will be arriving in Rome on this date, make sure you give yourself a BIG time cushion (several hours), as you don't know what unforeseen delays you may encounter (flight delay, airport delay due to customs & Immigration, baggage claim).

It is generally not recommended to buy train tickets in advance for day of arrival, however, at this price, you may want to take the risk.

Prices will not go down, when all the allotted 27 euro Super Economy fares are gone, then higher priced Economy fares will only be available.

Thanks everyone! I was able to purchase the 27E tickets and have them printed off. I so appreciate everyone's assistance and advice, it makes the planning and prearranging of a trip so much easier!

I'm glad that you've been able to purchase those super discounted tickets. It's hard for me to believe that people get talked into buying the expensive multi country Eurail Passes for places like Italy.
