First versus Second Class Train Travel
Hi everyone,
My brother and I (and our spouses) are taking my parents to Italy for their 50th anniversary. We'll be doing asome train travel (Rome to Venice and Rome to Naples); what is the difference between First and Second Class on the train?
Thanks,
Mike,

I always take second class. Frequently if I'm not paying atteniton I get on a first class car and don't even realize it till someone points it out to me. That's how much difference there is. Once I move over to a second class car I'm always glad I didn't spring for first class. The AC was indistinguisable between first and second class in all the trains I've been on.

Hi Michael, I too use 2nd class while travelling on trains in Italy. But if money is not a problem and since probably your parents are in their 70's you might want to take 1st class. Depending on your parents and their usual mode of travel.
What a wonderful 50th wedding anniversary gift you are all giving your parents. Sounds like you have a beautiful and close family. Best wishes to all of you. Enjoy every precious moment.
