FAQ About Italy Train Tickets

  • What does it mean to validate a train pass or ticket in Italy?

    This is also called "activating" a pass. A station staff member will stamp the pass to validate it. Please note that the pass must be validated at the station before boarding your train, as conductors on the train cannot validate the pass.
  • How do I validate my train ticket?

    Only regional train tickets have to be validated. For other trains, e-tickets can simply be shown to the conductor when asked on the train. Regional train tickets must be validated before departure.

    Follow these steps to validate your regional train ticket:

    • Use the check-in link provided in your booking confirmation email. Your booking confirmation email will have a subject line of "Your ItaliaRail booking number is…".

    • Once the page loads and shows you your ticket, click on the "Check In" button.

    • Once the page reloads with your passenger information, click on the "Next" button.

    • You will then see a confirmation message saying "Check-in complete. Enjoy your journey." This means you have successfully checked in.

  • Do I need a reservation if I have a rail pass?

    Most trains covered by your rail pass don't require seat reservations. If you're willing to take a slower route, you can often avoid the extra cost.
  • When and how do I make a booking?

    Booking can be made at a train station or through Trip.com within 60 days of your actual travel date.
  • What is an e-ticket for trains in Italy?

    The e-ticket for Italy is a purchasing solution that allows you to board your train without having to pick up a printed train ticket. It is valid for all trains, both in 1st and 2nd class.
