    Hey,

    Myself and my girlfriend and possible 4 others are all heading on a euro trip in November.
    We're flying into Budapest. From there we want to make our way to vienna, bratislave, prague, berlin and finish in amsterdam. We've got 12 days to do this trip. I have no idea about "rail passes"..apart from that I hear they are extremely expensive.
    We'd obviously be taking trains to each city. Would anyone have any recommendations about what to do about the transport to and from each city?

    What would be the best way to travel?

    any info would be great guys and girls

    Regards

    There are two different rail passes, Interrail and eurail.

    Only the Interrail pass is valid in all the countries you have mentioned and the 5 days in 10 days pass would be the best value for your trip at €159 for under 25s or 249 for over 25s.

    It may be cheaper to buy individual tickets for each leg of the trip. The German Railways website should give you the fares and times so you can work out for yourself how much that would cost.

    The main benefit of the passes is that you are not tied down to a specific schedule where the cheapest single fares are often tied to a specific train and need to be booked in advance.
