HI, I need to know what kind of Eurail Pass is the best for me. I`ll travel  through:

Netherlands, Belgium, Swiss and Italy during 15 days. I want to visit around 11 cities. Some of them from Bruxelles, Bern or Milan. My question is about the destinations, if I go and back from Bern to Lucern in one day, how many destinations will be? 1 or 2?

Thank for your help.

The number of destinations isn't relevant. What's relevant is on how many days you're going to need a pass. That means you need at least a rough plan, so you can actually count those days.

So take a reliable planner, such as bahn.com or sbb.ch, to make a rough plan. For domestic journeys, a national planner is always best, such as trenitalia.com for Italy.

    Thanks. I have already made a mock plan at Eurail web. There it counts 6 days of travel but I dont understand why because I plan take a train, at least 10 times (10 days) along 15 days. Sometimes 2 trains (go and back) in one day. 

    I´ll take a train on:8th, 10th, 11th, 12th,13th,14th,15th,16th,17th,18th.

    It's not relevant how many trains you take. Just on how many days that is. On a travel day, you can board as many trains as you want.
