Point to point vs savers pass (2 months with 14 days) Europe
I'm about to take a 3 months trip to europe with my bf. Our itenary
starts in this order: 1) spain (madrid, toledo lisbon, sevilla, cordoba, granada, valencia visit family, balcelona)- 2) provence france (3 days)- 3) italy (1 month cinque terre, lake como, vinece, florence, siena, day trips trought out hill towns, rome, civiata, sorrento, day trips around sorrento, and sicilli)- 4) germany munich(2 days)- 5) holand amsterdam (2 days)- 6) belgium bruge( 2days)- 7) paris and surrounding area (3 days)- france Loire(2 days)- 8) spain pamplona and basque country (3 weeks spend with bf's family, after that we will visit segovia, avila,cuenca and back to madrid) My question is, given my itenary, is it more economical to get point to point tickets? or get somekind of pass like savers pass for 2 months with 14 days?? its really hard to find out exactly how much the tickets cost. i try : http://bahn.hafas.de/bin/query.exe/en , althought they have detail schedules, they don't have prices for many local train routes. Could anyone give me any suggestion? thanks Amanda |

Could anyone give me any suggestion? For fares it's best to look at the sites of the national railways concerned: Spain: http://horarios.renfe.es/hir/ingles.html France & International routes to/from France: http://www.voyages-sncf.com Italy: http://www.trenitalia.com/home/en/index.htm Belgium: http://www.b-rail.be/rnvn/E/formul/index.html The German site should give you some fares to/from Germany as well as all internal ones. Hope this helps. -- Phil Richards London, UK Home page: http://www.philrichards1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

Point to point vs savers pass (2 months with 14 days) Europe
My question is, given my itenary, is it more economical to get point
to point tickets? The Rick Steves site is great for this. He has maps for both longer European stretches as far as individual country stretches that shows a ballpark price in U.S. dollars. If it's even close, I would get a pass--particularly if a 1st class pass is close in price to the individual 2nd class fares you see quoted at the site. His quotes are, of course, very approximate, but if it's close--the pass can be worth it just to save hassles. http://www.ricksteves.com/rail/howrailworks.htm |
