Anyone know any good euro rail websites?

Ive tried google but all the ones that come up don’t offer me the option to just type in "Rome to Paris" to see what the cost would be. I don’t want a month pass or week pass or whatever. I’m going to Europe for a few weeks. Flying to Barcelona, then flying to Rome, then want to take a train from Rome to Paris, and then a train from Paris to Amsterdam.

If anyone would like to mention any other plaves en route that would be easy and convenient to see then please share.

Thankety thanks ;-D

There are websites that let you enter places all over the continent and come up with prices, but those only sell full price tickets while you can get much better prices with the national train websites in many countries.

To work out routes and times, I prefer the German website, it will also do all travel within and many to and from Germany:

If it does not give the price for (the other) parts of the journey, try the website of the country you will be traveling in, if two, either one or both.
You can find those websites through this site, as well as several general ticket sellers for Europe:

Click on the name of a country in the bar on the left and in the top part of the new page you will find links to travel planners and often ticket selling sites.

For advice on places to stop? Visit some smaller places. Villages, historical sites like Pompeii or a national park to enjoy nature, or if that is more your scene, a beach resort.

I want to travel Europe and want to learn if it is possible to travel by a train. I have heard about Europeexpress and Intertrain. But I am not sure. Can you give me some names?

This site may be of use http://www.seat61.com/


can there be any free EURO RAIL PASS?

with al new prizes building up fr free draws, i have gone through certain sites and found out that they might be fake…can any body register in them out and inform me about the site authenticity

http://winthedraw.co.uk/z/zosw?ref=&w=

So you want us to spend time registering with all these sites. You don’t want to in case they’re fake or you might get scammed. It doesn’t seem like a very good deal to me. Why don’t you just do it? You can obviously type so why should anyone do your dirty work for you and put themselves at risk?

No, there probably isn’t any free euro rail passes. You get what you pay for and if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Two cliches for the price of one. That’s a good deal.

Can I use my Italy rail pass to get to Fiumicino?

Hi, I have a euro rail pass for Italy..and I was wondering if I could use it to get from Romes Termini station on the train to Fiumicino airport instead of paying the 14 euros for a ticket..I wanted to ask information but I couldn’t find it at the train station..Does anyone know!? Please let me know!
Thanks!

Here’s the correct link to the Leonardo Express page: http://www.trenitalia.com/cms/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f12f3bf7c819a110VgnVCM1000003f16f90aRCRD But as the previous answerer states, it is only 1st class service. Also, even if you were able to use a Eurail Pass on this train, why would you waste a whole Eurail travel day just to save 14euros, unless you’re on your way home and have some travel days to spare.

Cheapest Way to Travel in Europe by Rail?

I’m an adult (32 y/o) from the U.S. traveling around Europe for two months (October and November). Here is my expected route:

Madrid, Spain
Barcelona, Spain
Paris, France
Brussels, Belgium
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Berlin, Germany
Prague, Czech. Rep.
Zurich, Switz.
Venice, Italy
Florence, Italy
Rome, Italy

Is a EuRail pass cheaper than simply paying the standard fare on local trains? The 60 day EuRail Global/Adult pass appears to be around $1500-1700, but my travel agent told me there will also be a surcharge of around 10% of the total price of a standard fare for each leg of my trip. So for example, if the normal fare from Madrid to Barcelona is $330, I will be charged around $33.00 in addition to the base price I have already paid for the EuRail Pass.

Is this really the cheapest way to see Europe?

Thanks in advance.

You can often buy individual tickets for the trains cheaper than a pass, especially if you can buy them in advance to take advantage of available discounts. This does, however, require a fixed schedule and effort on your part. A Eurail pass rarely is worth the money here in Italy.

There is a great website with a ton of information on train travel here and on rail passes specifically. It also has links to all the individual country websites where you can find schedules and price tickets. http://www.seat61.com/

Using the Eurail pass does require purchasing reservations on many fast trains, international trains and night trains. You can find information on the cost of the supplements here: http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservations-supplements-domestic , http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservations-supplements-international-trains , http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservations-night-trains . As an example, if you were to take the night train from Paris to Florence or Rome, it costs

127 euro for a standard priced ticket for a berth in a 4 bed compartment. If you have a Eurail pass, you can get the same berth paying a 45 euro supplement which is a bit of a savings even when you consider the average daily cost of the pass. However, there are discounts for early purchase of the tickets. The cheapest discount is the "smart fare" (there are other discount levels). There are limited tickets at this price, but if you do the work and get the smart price, it costs 45 euro for the berth – the same as the supplement with the Eurail pass. Not only that, but if you have a timed pass rather than a continuous one, the trip will cost you two traqvel days because the train leaves Paris before 7 pm. What you need to do is put together a rough itinerary and add up the prices of individual tickets. Then add the prices of all the required supplements to the cost of the pass and determine whether the pass is advantageous for you.

Note that there are also budget airlines that you can consider for the longer legs of the trip. A couple of good sites for less expensive flights are: http://www.skyscanner.com/ or http://www.whichbudget.com/
