Hey guys..

Am thinking about visiting some friends in Italy next month. I'm living in Innsbruck at the moment and wondering how this will work?

I would get the 3 day Italy pass, as this works out much cheaper for me than individual reservations.

Should I be able to buy the Italy pass in the train station here (have a British Passport), and just pay to get over the border? I think it would be Brenner.

I'm a bit confused as to how it all works - do you just jump on any train or do you have to book?

Thanks in advance!

Also, just to save asking again later..

My plan is to leave Innsbruck on the Wednesday morning to get to Venice where I'll meet up with some friends. In the evening we'll be going to Milan together. Thursday I will spend in Milan. Friday I think we're going to the Cinque Terre, so I'll use my pass then if possible, I think its near Genova. Then possibly to Bergamo and home. Is it possible to use the Railpass more than once per day?

So..

Wednesday - Innsbruck - Venice - Milan
Friday - Genova - Milan
Saturday - Bergamo - Milan - Innsbruck

Thanks

Hi.

You have two options:

1) Buy your InterRail pass online via [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
Buy a train ticket at [u]http://www.oebb.at[/u] online for Innsbruck to the border station where you want to cross to Italy.

2) do all this at a station.

in Italy pay attention. some trains are free, some not.
use the schedule planer: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
here is a list of trains with supplements: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
better to use IC trains (free) instead of Eurostar Italia trains.
