What is the best approach to getting seat reservations when interrailing in northern Italy?
We will be interrailing in northern Italy late July. We would like to plan as little as possible but we have a couple of hotels and bnbs booked already so we will have to be sure to get to each one on time. Some (most?) trains require seat reservations. What is the best approach to get seat reservations? Is it possible to book them online? Will the trains get full? If they do - how far ahead must one plan?
