I've been reading some sites on train travel and it's very overwhelming. I'm still not sure what I need to do. I understand that within a country in Europe, its best to purchase from respective sites, but I've no clue what to do between countries. I also don't know if it's advisable, or even possible, that I use the same train pass (the one for getting from country to country) for train passes within the country.
Over the course of 2.5 months, I need to go from Italy to Austria to the Czech Republic, to Germany, to Sweden, then Belgium, and finally France.
What do I do for the train rides between countries?
Best Answer
It is overwhelming because the spectrum of possibilities is wide. I would suggest to start your exploration on the possibilities Interrail offers. If the price fits your budget, it is all you need. Be aware that interrail works with sectors, given your itinerary you would different passes.
The next distinction is between high-speed and traditional links. If you would like to travel for example from Belgium to France. You can take the high-speed connection between Brussels and Paris, where it is advisable to book online in advance to get the better deals. If you have time, you could consider the connection through Lille. In that case you could obtain your ticket through the Belgian railways.
So basically it boils down to.
- See if Interrail fits your budget and plans
- Identify the highspeed connections you need and book through the individual carriers (preferably in advance)
- For traditional inter european train connection you can purchase tickets at any european train station, or online through the websites of the national train companies
