Buy Italy Rail Trip tickets on TG-V Europe site?

Posted by (Atlanta, GA, USA) on

Hi!

So I missed a great deal Geneva to Venice for €20 and now it's €90.

Anyhoo, I see Italy train tickets are also available for purchase on the TGV site. I want to try and take advantage of the cheap rates and get them early.

I will be in Paris the first part of our trip so I can easily pick up all the rail tickets at one of the stations.

I read that you can't reserve on trenitalia website, and I had no problem purchasing a ticket from Paris to Basel (€20). So my question is, should I purchase the rail tickets now on TGV or just wait in September and purchase while in Italy? What are the cons to buying tickets this early or from tgv?

Thanks,

While you can book tickets on tgv-europe.com for travel entirely within Italy, you'll have to pay full fare. No discounts. If I were you, I'd simply wait and buy your tickets in Italy a day or two before each ride.
