Interrailing ticket or pay as you go??

Funny_Bones

Hi,

I was wondering would an interrailing ticket be value for its price or would I(we) be better buying tickets as we go?? Is there a good site to check train/bus prices on??
I plan to travel in Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia with a quick pit stop in Vienna.. I could buy the youth ticket but my friends will have to pay adult price..

Thanks

if your going to be on trains alot go with the interrailing ticket if you plan on just going to one place and then staying there for a while etc id look more at the cost of the single jurney as with the interrailing ticket it saves you cos you are on the train so much with in time span of the ticket etc

interrailing ticket all the way!

some of the individual journeys between cities are massive money

I know the interrail ticket takes a chunk out of your budget before you even step into a european city but it will save you hundreds (and i mean that) in the long run

it also gives you an option of escape! say you paid 100euro to get to zagreb and realised that there was nothing to do, you could be forced to shell out another 100 to go elsewhere. so your down 200quid and nothing to show for it. your interrail pass lets you 'hop on/hop off' as you please. so its a nice little option/rain insurance policy!

Actually, I would say go single tickets. With the exception of Austria, train tickets are not particularly expensive in any of the countries you've mentioned.

If you're going into Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic.... it's better to get the interrail pass.
