The Route Stop 1: Amsterdam If you’re planning to explore Europe by rail – being a planner and booking your tickets in advance will save you money. Running my suggested route through this website and adding up the cost of each ticket proved my point, and showed that the cost of my tickets would be only €530(£415GBP/$595USD/$784AUD) – and this was without the early booking discounts that you can get for purchasing tickets a couple of months in advance. Obviously this kind of extra ‘work’ won’t sit well with some people who just don’t want the hassle of making 10 separate bookings – but I like to make sure my money goes as far as it can – and if I had to book separately to save a few hundred dollars, I would. One of the better ones in RailEurope – as this provides a selections of trains on any given day and it is easy for you to spot the cheapest time to travel. Just type ‘book train journeys in Europe’ into Google and there are hundreds of options. RELATED: Need backpacking tips? Check out this guide to Backpacking in Europe 
It’s amazing how spending an extra 30 minutes to check each journey individually could end up saving you a couple of hundred dollars.

I’m happy to buy a pass and pay a premium where it offers good value and I’m feeling too time poor to check the prices for each journey individually – but I would be pricing this one very carefully and doing a full comparison before jumping in. Do you really need to spend all that extra money to sit in a ‘nicer’ seat?

Now, if you were travelling through Asia by train, 1st class (or even 2nd class!) would be a blessing – but in Europe? The rail network is more than adequate – in fact, it’s pretty good! Plus the fact that as countries in Europe are relatively small (in the grand scheme of things), any train journey you take is not likely to last for more than a few hours. The stand out for me is that an Interrailing pass ‘only’ allows you to travel in 2nd class carriages – whereas the EU Rail Global pass is for 1st & 2nd class travel. So, what is different? Well, not much really. I’m sure you can see the difference for yourselves! I personally think this is extortionate – and I’ll offer an alternative below, but first lets look at what the difference is between the two tickets (apart from the price). A 10 day in 1 month travel pass will cost €374 (£295GBP/$420USD/$555AUD) (all prices correct March 2016 & not including discounts)Īlternatively, a EU Rail pass for the 10 days in 2 months (the nearest equivalent to the Interrail pass) would set you back €741 (£580GBP/$825USD/$1105AUD). Interrail is by far the cheaper option – but is only available to European residents. But be warned – there are two websites which sell these Rail Passes and where you live will have a huge impact on the price you pay! InterRail or EURail? We used a rail pass that allowed 10 days of travel in 22 and if you don’t want the hassle of booking each train individually then you’ll want to pick yourself up one of these.
