The updated Eurail Flexi Italy Pass is more flexible with it's 6 additional rail day "add-on feature" to the basic 3 day pass. For more train travel savings, check the Youth & Saver categories for both first and second class passes-- thr Saver pass is for 2 or more people travel together! The Italy Rail Pass is worth a lot more than its point-to-point value, since you validate only once and it covers all trains in Italy and most supplements and eliminates lines. Like other rail passes and point to point train tickets, it does not cover train seat reservations when they are required. The Eurostar Italia trains can get expensive.

Italian Kilometric Ticket Is was cancelled in 2003 accoriding to Italian officials. The Italy Flexi Rail Card or second class Point to Point Train Tickets are likely the best substitues.
Also known as the "Biglietto Chilometrico," This flexible but complex ticket featured coupons for up to 20 trips totaling up to 3,000 kilometers that can be used by up to 5 people over a period of 2 months ($354 first class and $256 second class if bought in USA). This $90-100 jump in price in 2000 has decreased the savings you got previous years. The ticket can be purchased cheaper in Italy. For example, a group of five can travel the 570 km from Venice to Rome on a 2nd class Kilometric Ticket for $51each which is $5 MORE per/person than the normal 2nd class $46 ticket price. It does not cover supplements charged for the faster intercity trains. TERC sells this ticket. Please allow 10 working days for orders. Carefully figure out the Kilamentors needed for your trip before purchasing. Use TERC's Point to Point Ticket Prices page for estimates or contact TERC with your destination sequence and dates for detailed assistance: e-mail: tercmele@aol.com
Point to Point tickets are often the best buy for short trips in Italy. The Flexi Pass is one to consider for longer Italian trips.
