Euro Rail
Making the decision to buy a Euro Rail pass from All Europe Rail is a smart one. However, in order to ensure that your train travel remains a positive part of your experience, inform yourself about relevant laws. Take some time to consider your destinations. If you know you'll only be visiting two countries, you won't need to purchase a five-country pass. On the other hand, if you are backpacking or exploring without an itinerary, you might want a more comprehensive Euro Rail pass that would let you explore a new country on a whim.
Many travelers wonder about the need to make reservations prior to boarding a train. Reservations are a matter of your personal comfort, as well as how tightly packed your itinerary may be. For long train rides, you'll likely want a reserved seat. For short journeys, you may be able to squeeze in or wait for the next train. If your itinerary depends on you making that train for further connections, reservations are recommended.
Your Euro Rail pass is also good for making connections with local ferries. For example, you can take a train from Italy into Germany, and then catch a ferry from Germany into Sweden. Some ferries will allow you to journey for free with your Euro Rail pass, while others will offer discounts of 20, 30 or 50 percent to pass holders.
Many other transportation options will be available to you at a discount as a Euro Rail pass holder. Check the All Europe Rail website for listings of discounts. For example, if your pass is valid in Italy and Greece, there are a number of ferries you can ride for free that will take you between the two countries, including private ferry lines.
