10 days in France - a trip from Amsterdam: is it worth buying an InterRail card?
I'm planing a 10 days InterRail trip in France, and I've summed up all point-to-point trains costs = 200 euro.
In addition there are the international trains to go and come from Amsterdam (my hometown city), approximately 220 euros.
So, total costs would be 420 euros.
A France InterRail card seems not be convenient (319 euros for 8 days trips in a month), unless it covers the trips from and to Amsterdam. Which I suspect it doesn't, or are the international trips partially covered on national ground ?
Also, is there an InterRail pass for France + Benelux ? In that case I could cover the entire trip.
Any tip is welcome.
Best Answer
You used to get a discounted ticket to your interrail region as part of your interrail card. Can't say whether that's still the case.
However, your estimate of 220 euros to get to and from France from Amsterdam sounds unlikely. A roundtrip Amsterdam-Paris can be had for as little as 70 euros (http://www.nshispeed.nl/).
Also, at 320 euros for just 8 days, depending on where you plan to go, it sounds like the cost might not justify getting it. But that depends heavily on where you plan to go.

Is Interrail cheaper than flying?
Interrailing can be cheaper than flying or booking individual trains, especially if you're eligible for a youth ticket, but double check for any cheaper options first. To do this, sketch out your route and compare the prices of buying single-journey tickets with the cost of your selected Interrail pass.When should I buy Interrail pass?

The first class pass is a bit more comfortable and it will make your journey more enjoyable as you will travel in first-class coaches. There is more space between the seats, generally less crowded,there are power sockets available and often even free water!CHEAPEST WAY TO TRAVEL EUROPE BY TRAIN
