We have 1st class rail passes for Italy and I understand that we may need reservations. Do we need them?
Yes, you will need and pay for a seat reservation on all trains in Italy except for the Regionale trains. Those train are a lot like a big bus, just get on and go. This is one of the reasons that it is difficult to make a train pass pay in Italy.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, 10Euro for each fast train that you will be on. 3Euro for the Intercity trains. No extra cost for the Regionale trains.
