hi,
I'm planning to start my euro tour this feb 19th from Rome and my itinerary is as below. I'm buying a Global
pass as my trip lasts for about 21 days and I'm only planning short stays( 1 day at each place). I'm plannin on taking the evening trains so I can reach the next place, rest the night and leave the next evening and similarly..
I've researched train schedules and some of them need reservations and for some, reservations are recommended.How do I go about getting the reservations? I want to do the online paper reservations, having them shipped might not be enough time. :|
Rome -19th-->Florence -20th-->Venice -21st--> Milan -22nd--> Nice -23rd-->France -24th--> Amsterdam -25th--> Berlin -26th--> Bratislava -27th-->Vienna-28thPrague -->1st zurich-----
With only 4 weeks left is reservations going to be a problem? How can I book my seat reservations in these
cases. any help would be highly appreciated :D

hi,
you can buy your reservations here: [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/reservation[/ux] otherwise
you might check a local service partner :) www.bahn.com/i/view/DEU/en/about/overview/sales-offices.shtml but I think it might be possible to buy the reservations at a station in Europe. Maybe you buy only some in advance. But it's up to you.

Hi!
Rome > Florence: Buy the reservation at a ticket machine directly at Roma Termini (main station). It's really easy.
Florence > Venice: Same
Venice > Milan: Same
Milan > Nice: You can buy a reservation for the IC to Ventimiglia but you dont have to (I'd recommend it) - same way as above.
Nice - France (where?) - Amsterdam: As soon as you know where you want to go in France, I would purchase the reservation at a station, for instance while you are in Milan. France - Amsterdam might be a little tricky as you would have to pay a whopping reservation fee for the direct Thalys trains...
Amsterdam - Berlin: No reservation needed
Berlin - Bratislava: Ditto
Bratislava - Vienna: Ditto
Vienna - Prague: Ditto
Prague - Zurich: Ditto; btw it would make more sense to go Berlin - Prague - Bratislava - Vienna- Zurich (you could also go Wien - Zurich by night train)
