Swiss pass – Is it worth it for my case?

Hi,

I am having difficulty deciding if I should buy a swiss pass for my coming trip Switzerland. Basically, I will be moving around to Zurich, Lucern, Bern & Interlaken for 7 days. I am not sure if its more economical to get a 8-day saver pass for USD $235.00. I think the main bulk of the transport cost would come from the inter-city train, lake cruises & trip to Jungfrau region & some other mountains.

Pls give me your advice. Thanks alot.

I don’t know what the 8-day saver pass is, but I find the Swiss Pass is great because you don’t have to worry about buying tickets for every trip, and if you change your mind (or the weather doesn’t cooperate) you can do something else. It only gives you a discount, not a free ride, on some of the mountain trains, though, including Jungfrau and Pilatus. But I think it’s a better discount than with any other offer. (Or at least as good.)
Swiss Pass also covers museums (except the big transport museum in Lucerne, though you do get a discount), which is cool.

Basically, no one I know who’s ever got the Swiss Pass has regretted it.

Rail System In Europe

rail system in europe Rail System In Europe
Train Reservations In Europe??

So i am going to europe for two moths I have purchased a euro rail global pass. I have been told that some trains you must have reservations.
I was just wondering how the reservation system works varying from city to city.
or do you only need them during peak travel hours ?
If you really need them?
how much do they usually cost?

Thank You

Many of the high speed, international and night trains require reservations. You can find the trains that require you to pay more with your pass 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 . No, it’s not just peak hours, it depends on the country and type of trains you’re using. Note that if you don’t have the reservation on a train that requires it here in Italy, there is a substantial fine – yes, you need to reserve when it’s required. The costs are shown on the links above.
