Eurail Passes

Wow, trying to figure out which pass to get is extremely difficult. We originally thought the 15 days in 2 months flexi-global would be adequate. But then that means only having 15 travel days in 45. Ouch! That doesn't leave any room for day trips or random travel on a whim.

This brings us to the next pass, consecutive travel for 2 months. This sounds good because it means we can travel unlimited everyday. It leaves open days for any spontaneous travel we decide to do once we're there. Also allows for the freedom of staying longer (or shorter) anywhere we plan on going.

Only thing is the cost between the 15 day flixi and the 2 month. But I guess at this point it's go big or go home. I mean it is a once in a lifetime trip, I suppose we shouldn't spare any expenses at this point. The only other option would be to still get the 15 day pass, but then purchase individual train tickets past that...but I think that's about the same price as the 2 month pass. Meh, number crunching is the least fun of planning.

  1. Yeah, you basically have to have your itinerary down if you really want to know if the pass is worth it. I went on raileurope and went through every train I'd be taking, but that was for 12 days, so definitely not as many trains as y'all would be taking.

    I think y'all should do the unlimited one though because sticking to schedules is good at first, but then it'll get really exhausting, so that way you can change things up.

  2. Good plan. We are for sure going with the 2 months unlimited now. It just makes the most sense. Especially since we sort of want to figure out our day-to-day itenerary as we travel. Arrive at train station, decided destination, go. :)
