Hey guys! Intending to travel to Rome/Switzerland to view their sights and sounds...any tips for the places to go? Like landmarks...

Currently compiling =)

Would a railpass work for Italy-Switzerland?

Italy - Florence, Rome, Vatican City. These three confirm must go.

Visit St.Peter's Square during the weekdays and marvel at the size.

If u have the time, take a train to Modena and visit the Ferrari museum...

I don't know about rail passes, but I thought Eurail is EU-wide? Shocked

deathscythe99 SG

Eurail is not EU-wide, unless u get the Europe pass (i.e. u can visit any EU country la)

And the problem with the Eurail pass is that u have to calculate the trip and train rides u intend to have. Moreover, there's the time problem. Tsk.

I think I am gonna settle on a simple bus/air ride to Rome. Sighs.

I went to those places nearly 10 years ago.

Er,...watch your shoes!

There are different types of rail passes. For EU pass, you can just buy a 3-country pass (min is 3) if you plan to visit 2 countries only. Minimum 5 trips. Furthermore, if your train goes past any other country, you are supposed to have a ticket to pass through (pay extra), or have listed that country in your rail pass (you got 1 free slot if you only travel 2 countries)
