Euro-Train/Rail-trip?
Im wanting to go on a rail trip during the summer with a couple of friends just stopping in some cities for few days. Is there something along the lines of a big railtrack going thru europe? Is it expensive? any suggestions/advice? Thanks
Yep – Eurail pass
You can purchase it before you go — cant buy it once you are there I think.. I did this ohhhhh so many years ago, and at that time it was one price and covered unlimited travel in 12 countries throughout Europe, for a period of 8 weeks
These days i think you can customize more, and chose shorter terms, or just a few countries. Usually it also includes fare on some local tourist things. In Austria it included a fare on a lake steamer that took us around to several small towns on a beautiful alpine lake. It also included fare on a rack railway that went to the summit of one of the mountains.!
Browse the site to see what is available — And kudos to you for wanting to do this! As I look back on my life at 40 something, I count this as one of the best decisions I ever made, and one of the formative experiences in my life.
By the way, I am now a freelance food and travel writer – so you can see how it influenced me!
Bon Voyage!
