Frodo 0 #1 April 27, 2008 Wanted to see what y'all can say about train travel. I'm arriving in Milan mid-june and will have 5-7 days to see a little bit of Europe. I've bought a 4-country Eurorail pass good for Italy, Switzerland, France, and Benelux, which really makes it 6 countries. Will I need reservations on any trains? Will I need to pay for individual rides even if I have the pass? How are the sleepers and couchettes - are they worth getting or can I sleep in a regular seat?

Squeak 17 #2 April 27, 2008 I looked at Eurail passes and found them to be VERY pricey. at least for the onlger passes. I'll be backpacking through Europe for about 2-3 months next year, and i am still not sure how i will be travelling about. I may rent a carYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 38 #3 April 28, 2008 I did that every weekend when I was a student back in Venice. Hopped on overnight trains, slept in the regular seats, woke up wherever I was going. Would get a hostel only when we got too smelly :-) I loved it. As long as you are on regular trains, you don't need reservations for a regular seat. You would for a sleeper but I never used them.
