What is the difference between 1st class Italy train tickets and 2nd class?

Question

I would like to spend 4 days traveling around Italy and see many cities and towns. Do these tickets include a reserved sit?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The difference is 1 class. Tagger

Answer 2

Second class is there as soon as first class.

The seats in the first class are a bit bigger, spaced a little farther apart and maybe a bit more comfortable. And often much less crowded.

Second class seats are nice enough, comfy enough and have enough space for most people.

Neither has seat reservations included, but in first class there is a little less need to reserve trains unless the reservation is compulsary.

If you are there for just 4 days, it is likely that buying individual tickets is going to be much cheaper than buying a rail pass. (Specially if you are from outside Europe.)

InterRail, for Europeans, might work out cheaper.

Answer 3

In first class you can reserve a space, and I believe we were able to reserve a convertible sleeper berth,

Second class just lets you get on a car as space is available and the only cars have bench seats but no real way to stretch out and relax.

It's been several years since we were there but at that time the first class was a good upgrade, especially at night, second class during the daytime was ok because you were looking out and not necessarily trying to rest.
