We're a family of 4 planning on going Amsterdam → Bruges on the 26th of July, sometime late morning or early afternoon. After looking on Eurail, we essentially have two options: Thalys or IC.Thalys to Brussels, IC to Bruges USD $94 IC to Brussels, separate IC to Bruges (no reservation)Although slower, obviously number 2 seems to be the better option. But I'm concerned if there will be space on this train, as it's peak summer season and I’ve been told to reserve seats wherever I can. Obviously I'd hate to stand for 4 hours.
The journey in question is Strasbourg → Munich on the 22nd of July at 10:50. The journey is through 3 trains (1 regional and the rest ICE).When I book on Eurail, I’m having to pay about 32 euros per train (8 euro x 4 passengers). So this amounts to 64 euros for the entire journey.But when I plug the same info into the Bahn website, I’m getting 8 euros for the entire journey?I know what a bargain is but this seems a bit much :) Have I done something wrong or is there something I’m not aware of?
We will be landing in Paris from Singapore early morning on the 17th and will be flying out mid-day on the 28th from Brussels. We are a family of 4 (2 teens) so we’d probably rather visit more places. We have the Eurail 4 day pass. This is what I’ve thought of so far:Paris: 3 nights20th: Paris to Strasbourg (already reserved on TGV)Strasbourg: 2 nights (day-trip to nearby towns eg. Colmar)22nd: Strasbourg to MunichMunich: 2 nights24th: Munich to AmsterdamAmsterdam: 2 nights26th: Amsterdam to BrugesBruges: 1 night27th: Bruges to Brussels28th: Flying out of Brussels Could anyone please critique this itinerary, or suggest alternative places to go? We’re unsure about Munich, especially as Strasbourg → Munich and Munich → Amsterdam trains are very hectic with switching trains etc.Could anyone also suggest whether to reserve seats on the trains where it isn’t required (eg. ICE trains). It is peak tourist season so I suppose it will be a good idea.
