OK, so I'm embarking on a long (4 months) journey through Europe in a couple of weeks and obviously will be taking a lot of trains. One thing I've made clear to myself is that Eurail, even with its passes is horribly overpriced, compared to domestic ticket prices.
As far as France goes, I know I can get cheap tickets via voyages-sncf.fr - those tickets are at domestic prices, which means that even for the longest distances, they are usually under 50 euros, most of them are under 25.
However, I'll be starting out in Italy. SNCF has reasonable prices for their trains as well, but I'm thinking that it would be more sensible to buy train tickets right there on the spot. However, I speak 0 Italian and I would prefer to take late-night trains so that I wouldn't have to pay for the night's stay in a hotel. Would it be troublesome to get such tickets there? Should I order the tickets on SNCF (for example the price to go from Venice to Nice on SNCF is 55 euros) or should I not worry about it?
