We are traveling to Italy July 2015, flying to Milan. We will travel by train to Venice upon arrival and have our hotel booked.
What we need help with is travel options to Slovenia and to Munich, then back to Milan.
Option 1: rent a car from Venice airport for 3 days and go to Slovenia and back to Venice - then take night a train to Munich stay for the weekend, then take a night train to Milan.
Option 2, rent a car for the duration of the trip from Venice and return the car to Milan. And have the freedom to drive most of the trip.
Currently we are having issues with the Euro-rail in seeing the night train schedule and pricing. Are there any tips out there to book the Night trains or is it too early to get tickets? We could happily drive, but the train sounds like it could be a fun option and buy us time by traveling at night.
Any suggestions are welcome.
