April trip to Italy.


We never booked train tickets more than a day ahead of time in Italy. Bought them the day of travel at the station most days.

Yeah no reason to book this far ahead that I know of OP. That way you can more easily change your plans if need me, unless you are booking a prime time to a large event I'd wait until a week out or less.

That's fine for regional trains, but you will pay more for the long distance trains doing that.

We took the privately-owned Italo trains as opposed to state-owned Trenitalia, and I booked ours through their site. I don't remember any issues doing so, but I might have forgotten. Check the Seat61 site for all of the info you need about booking trains in Italy. I don't think I've ever used third party sites booking trains in Europe, but I've used Seat61 for advice in doing so.
