The Interrail Italy Pass is the best single-country choice for a long Italy trip. It covers participating train, ferry and public transport companies in Italy, with flexi options of 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 travel days in 1 month, and each travel day runs until 23:59 local time. RailPass.com lists the 3-day 2nd class adult pass at $194 and the youth pass at $146. Up to 2 children aged 4 to 11 travel free with each adult. The limit is the usual one for country passes: it does not cross borders, and Interrail says most high-speed and night trains need a reservation at extra cost. That matters in Italy, where the fast trains between Rome, Florence, Milan and Venice are the ones most visitors take. Add the reservation fees to the pass price before you compare it with point-to-point tickets.
