Advise needed on railpasses for Italy&Switzerland
-
Hi,
I am planning to travel to Rome from Singapore (2person) on 8th Oct and will be staying there for 3 nights before traveling to Florence (3 nights) and then to Venice (2 nights). I am thinking of taking trains frome Rome to Florence to Venice. I will be travelling 2 times over 6 days. Is it advisable to buy an Italy rail pass? If not, where do I buy and reserve the tickets? Online advance purchase recommended?
There does not seem to have combined rail pass for Italy and Switzerland. After Venice, I will be travelling down to Lucerne and staying for 3 nights. This train will be covered under which rail pass?? Do I have to buy an individual ticket for this?
In Switzerland, I will travel from Lucern to Interlaken and staying in interlaken for 2 nights before moving to Zurich to take my flight back to Singapore. In Lucern, I am planning to visit Mt pilatus or Mt titlis. Which is recommended considering I will be going Mt jungfraujoch in interlaken. Also I am planning to have day trip to Bern and other cities as well if time permits. With these traveling, is it advisable to get a Swiss pass? If so, which to buy?
Lastly, I m looking at Lucern hotels near the main train station and budget at below CHF 100 per nite for double sharing with private bathroom. Any recommendation? I am looking at Etap hotel but it seems a long walking distance from train station.
Look forward to your reply!! Any advise is greatly appreciated ad this is my first time travel there! 🙂
Cheers.
