Hello everyone. I’m a first time traveler to Europe and will be taking my family this summer. We will be traveling by train between some of our destinations and I’m trying to figure out if getting an Eurail pass is 100% necessary. I looked on the Eurail site and the 4-day travel pass ranges from $928 (2nd class) to $1178 (1st class) for a family of 4.
We will need to take a train between the following cities:
Rome → Venice (round trip over 2 separate days)
Zurich or Bern → Paris (1 day)
Paris → London (1 day)
My questions:
- Is it worth the amount of money for the pass for the month we will be in Europe?
- If I do not get the Eurail pass, will my overall spend be less? What I mean by this is will the difference in purchasing the tickets without the Eurail pass be more cost effective?
- Are there any monetary advantages of buying a Eurail pass or is it more for convenience/flexibility?
Thank you very much!
