My husband and I ( 72 year old active seniors) will be traveling to Europe in April-May 2023 and are getting overwhelmed as to what the best pass should be for us. Our itinerary is as follows:
Paris- 10 days no train pass needed in the city
Paris to Mont St. Michel -- 2 nights
Mont St. Michel (Paris) to Bern. I know we will have to get back to Paris for this leg.
Bern to Interlaken. We will be spending 3 days in Bern and then 5 days in Interlaken and want to possibly travel to Gimmelwald, Wengen ,Jungfrau, Lauterbrunnen, and Murren.
Interlaken to Varenna, Italy- spend 5 days in Varenna
Varenna to Bologna - 2 days in Bologna We are then going to a concert in Ferrara Italy and will return to Bologna after the concert.
Bologna to Milan - 3 days in Milan
Home to USA
We are looking into the Eurail Global Pass for seniors and the Swiss Pass. Would like to have the security of reserving ahead and selecting our seats as well. We know there are some limitations to the Eurail Pass in Switzerland. Should we buy both? Other ideas?
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
