Hello again! Trying to book the seat reservations for day 11 (above) for around 8:00 AM on 23 June, 2023 on Eurail’s website. I don’t see the “10€ Frecciarossa within Italy” as an option, just the EC. Am I missing it? Doing something wrong? Is FR not part of Eurail?
So it’s going to be a long post ! The Global Pass is valid on almost all European trains, there are some exceptions for mountain railways though. No buses or trams are included. Boats sometimes are (Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in Switzerland are the only one I could think of right now). You get discounts on mountain railways (25-50%). While using a pass day you can board as many trains as you want between 00:00-23:59. Simply board and look for a free seat. Calculation with the 10-day Global Pass (338$) : Day 1 The Global Pass would be valid until Vienna Hbf but it is a waste to use a travel day. Regular tickets cost 4,30€ including bus or trams Day 2 Use local tickets (maybe there are city-wide day passes) Day 3 PASS DAY 1 Simply board the train and find a free seat (optional reservations possible) Day 4 PASS DAY 2 Same as day 3, you could go to Dachau that day (to save money). All trains included Day 5 Suburban S-Bahn trains would be included but not worth it. Buy local tickets val
So it’s going to be a long post ! Day 8 Lauterbrunnen - Jungfraujoch (25% discount only) : 151.20 CHF (do not buy in advance and only go up if the weather is nice, otherwise a waste of money). No need to use a pass day to get the discount. If you travel back to Lucerne, then use a pass day Day 9 PASS DAY 5 Lucerne - Bern (but when do you travel back to Lucerne from Lauterbrunnen ?). Lauterbrunnen - Interlaken : 25% discount, Interlaken - Thun by boat (included) and then train to Bern would be a very nice option (or simply take the train all the way). Transportation within the city (bus, trams) not included Good catch. It should have read: Day 9 - Lauterbrunnen to Bern (Staying in Lauterbrunnen for Day 7 and Day 8, leaving Day 9 in the morning.) I can’t find a way to edit my post, but we aren’t going back to Lucerne, so I guess it’s basically Interlaken to Bern. I like the option of taking a boat in or out of Interlaken. Where can I find those options mapped out, or timetables for the
