First, the train station’s information desk is the best option for more information or to obtain help in planning your trip rather than the ticket window because the ticket agent is only to help with the purchase of the ticket. There are options of qualifying for special discounts or a lower ticket price through the option of choosing a different train.

Choose to travel on lean days such as Tuesdays / Wednesdays as not many travel during mid-week. When you are on a vacation, the day you land in Europe, makes no difference. Traveling cheap is your intention which is best served by these days when you can get cheaper tickets. Plan your return trip from Europe also in a similar way as above, choosing a lean day. Buy your tickets early for you get them at lower rates weeks before you travel; closer the day, dearer the prices. Buy only round-trip tickets; one-way tickets may cost you both ways otherwise. Shirk shyness and bargain to hit the cheapest rates. Unless you ask, airplanes personnel won’t offer cheaper tickets for Europe travel.

In the southern regions the man temperature for January does not fluctuate but will remain at an average 10 degrees with the exception of the inland mountain zones. Throughout the summer in Italy the temperatures may rise to 24 through 25 degrees for July, lower in the highest zones. Rainfall will distribute depending on the influence of mountains and the prevailing winds. The highest quantities of rain are registered in the Alpine arc (over 3,000 mm pa in the Lepontine and Julian Alps) and on the Apennines (over 3,000 mm pa in the Apaun Alps).

A seat reservation will affect the train travel made in Europe. A reservation will come with a number for a car and seat. At the train station, check each track or the wall for the Composition of Trains board which illustrates where each numbered car will be when the train arrives. If no seat reservation is obtained then the seat is at first come first serve basis as long as it is not reserved for someone else.

A validation machine is common for train travel in Europe which will “validate” your ticket before boarding. Food is another matter to consider when creating a train itinerary. The longer the traveling distance, the more likely the train will have a restaurant or cafe. For medium distances a reasonable expectation will be of drinks and snacks but a regional train will not carry any food. Consider purchasing a few snacks at the train station before boarding to ensure you’ll be fed which will help in deferring the cost to the minimum possible.
