Trip to Amsterdam to Switzerland and Paris?
We are busy preparing for a short trip to Europe, covering Amsterdam, Interlaken and Swiz Paris. Due to profitability, we'll fly staying in Amsterdam for two days, take a rail Switzerland and stay four days, finishing by rail Iron in Paris, where we stay for 3 days before flying. I thought that a rail pass issues will not do me good because I do not need point to-point rail service. However, I am not sure if the passage of the railing (Euro Pass) gives me unlimted free rides on the subway system in the city. Can anyone help? Appreciate advise on which train service to take and how to make a transfer station for the above itinerary? Amsterdam – Swiss Interlaken – Paris. We travel in the last week of September and goes up to Jungfraujoch. Any advice for the type of clothing to prepare. Do we need snow boots? Coming from a tropical country, winter clothing and snow boots are really expensive and if possible, we prefer do not buy them.
You will not be able to use a Eurailpass for local transport in Amsterdam, Interlaken and only limited to Paris. At Amsterdam and Interlaken you do not need to use trains and other modes of public transportation is not included on Eurail. In Amsterdam, you can obtain a transit pass, or one with museums and other discounts included as well, that might work, but again, not really necessary if your hotel is in a central area. Interlaken is a small town, and you want to do, there will be out of town, but if a rail pass for the area worth the penalty depends on how you do. If you're "only" going to the Jungfraujoch, you better buy an arrangement for it. In Paris, the long distance subway trains are part of the system railpass, but the rest, the subway trains you will most often are not. Again, you can get a metro bus pass / or a card that gives free travel and discounts on museums and sightseeing. With only three days, I would not buy a pass dear, you will not have time to use it to its full extension. For clothing, bring your warmest clothes, the things you wear when you go to a place they installed the air conditioning too cold, and you can bring enough of those two layers yet strange it's cold in Europe. For the rest, try to make things you can layer. Bring light pants, you can wear under trousers normally put shirts long sleeves and so on. And remember that the silk as an additional layer is warm enough to keep you comfortable, but the entire second layer will add a lot of heat. When you take a trip to Jungfraujoch, you will not buy or wear clothing of very warm winter. If necessary, you'll probably be able to rent or borrow in your hotel, but in September the risk of winter weather is not great. This site is likely better to help you choose the route, but you may need a travel agent or more websites to buy tickets: http://www.bahn.com/i/view/overseas/en/index. shtml Do not worry about the road, just look at the time, ease of transfers and the cost of tickets. You may prefer to travel to Amsterdam through Germany to Switzerland rather than take the option via Paris, to give you more points of view, but is easy to travel. In Paris, the stations are within walking distance, so it's an easy change too. If you want to contact other ticket sellers online, look on this site for them: http://www.seat61.com/ They have a section for buying train tickets and a section for tickets, and it is a very good site. And Remember that you lose a day to your trip by train, or overnight if you can get the night train between Amsterdam and Basel.
