I'm so confused on what trains to take from Italy to Switzerland to Paris?

I'm travelling from Rome to Florence to Venice to Switzerland to Paris.

Can i just buy the euroRail to take me to all my destinations?I'm so confused on what trains to take from Italy to Switzerland to Paris?
Yes and no regarding the Eurail pass. Eurail doesn't own or operate any trains. It's just a pass that allows you to use the trains of the participating national train systems. Eurail passes will allow you to ride the trains between these cities, but you will still have to make reservations and pay an additional fee if you use fast trains or many international trains and/or night trains. Here in Italy, the cost of a reservation for a fast train is 10 euro when you're using a railpass. For the trip you want to make, a Eurail pass would cost you more than just buying individual tickets at least for the portion of the trip here in Italy. If you want to check train connections from point to point through Europe to plan a trip, the German train site is one of the best options: http://www.bahn.de/i/view/USA/en/index.s鈥?/a> - you will need the individual country websites to price tickets.



There is a great site here that explains rail travel and railpasses here: http://www.seat61.com/



Rome to Florence is 1 hr 35 min on a fast train. Florence to Venice is approximately a 2 hr trip. There are several trains every day on each route. You can find schedules and prices here: http://www.trenitalia.com/cms/v/index.js鈥?/a> . You can also use the site for trains from Venice to Switzerland. For Switzerland to Paris use the Swiss train site: http://www.sbb.ch/en/home.htmlI'm so confused on what trains to take from Italy to Switzerland to Paris?
