A clever traveler with a Eurail Pass and an ability to read schedules can arrange to employ trains as moving hotels. Instead of spending one more night in Venice, only to leave in the morning for Napoli, depart in the evening and sleep on the train. If you're feeling flush, reserve a compartment. This move could save money. Not only that, the little hotel on the rails gets you to the next destination, something the room in Venice couldn't possibly do.
