For the way I travel Euro rail passes are a good deal and I like the flexibility of just walking on
My name is Stephen and I am a 23 year old student. I am flying into amsterdam in october and I will be staying in Europe for three months. I have an open itinerary right now and I am seeking advice edo japan a virtual tour of what to do, along with what not to do. I want to see alot of different places and countries. Should I get a Euro rail pass? Are there specific places to stay or eat? I am open to all input, so as I can set up the best trip possible. Thank you so much for your advice.
What types of things are you interested in? Hiking? Art? Opera? Countryside and scenery or big cities, etc... Usually edo japan a virtual tour there are some overlaps, but give us a feel for WHY you want to go to Europe and what is already on your wish list, so to speak. What is your budget? Are you traveling alone?
Some sites that may be worth checking out in addition to this one...BETS (Budget European Travel Service...gives lot of train info - Rail Pass may or may not be best depending on itinerary). Also check out Lonely Planet's edo japan a virtual tour Thorn Tree forum as the crowd there seems to have lots of student/backpacker types.
You should edo japan a virtual tour go to one of the student web sites - which will have much more info on super budget travel and student activities/hangouts - and get some of the student guides and read them. If you just head off without doing a lot of research you will be lost and confused most of the time - and not make the most of your time or your money.
You might want to at least pick a direction from Amsterdam. You will have 3 months, so you could also think in terms of how much time you want to spend per country. For example, you could stay 15 days in France, 15 in Spain and so on...
For the way I travel Euro rail passes are a good deal and I like the flexibility of just walking edo japan a virtual tour on a train and not worrying about prices. Make sure to try not to cram too many cities/countries in, it is very tempting to do! I like to spend at least 4 nights in large cities like Rome/Paris/Berlin/Vienna/London/Madrid, 5 nights would be better for all those cities. Smaller cities can be 3-4 nights.
Thanks to everyone edo japan a virtual tour for the information. I am interested in good food, art and exploring both large and small cities. I will be staying in the netherlands working on a golf course for 1 1/2 to 2 of the months i will be in Europe. From here i plan on doing weekend trips to nearby places in germany and belgium. When I finish workiong is when i want to backpack south. I would love to spend time in Italy, Spain and France (and perhaps maake a visit to santarini)
edo japan a virtual tour Well for a typical first-time youth traveler who understandably, like myself when i first went around you age, wants to go to many of the tourist meccas - the Romes, Amsterdams, Berlins, Venices, etc. they've been dreaming about seeing edo japan a virtual tour all their lives then some kind of railpass should be highly edo japan a virtual tour considered edo japan a virtual tour - but there are dozens and dozens of 'Eurailpasses' now - some for one country - some two, three, four, five and the Global Eurailpass good in about 27 countries edo japan a virtual tour - everything edo japan a virtual tour but the U.K.
And trains are a great way to get about - especially if like most first-time travelers and you want to go to big cities - where cars are liabilities since many city centres are off-limits to private vehicles and the public transporation is so so fine. Along with trains consider a few cheap flights edo japan a virtual tour via discount edo japan a virtual tour airlines - say you take the train/ferry to Greece you may want to fly back to London, etc.
So to get a fix on planning a European rail/railpass trip here are some fab sites i always spotlight for novices - www.ricksteves.com ; www.seat61.com ; www.budgeteuropetravel.com - download the latter's free and superb IMO European Planning Rail Guide as it suggested itineraries, rail maps and a chapter on trains in each country.
I have used the European rail system and railpasses annually for too many years to admit and for someone your age and traveling alone, presumably, IMO rail is the way to go - and you will meet zillions of other young folk from all over the globe riding on Eurail Youthpasses (2nd class travel only valid for those under 26).
Utrecht, Rotterdam, Amsterdam are all fairly easy to get to by train from there as is Den Bosch ('s Hertogenbosch). All well worth a visit, and all full of young people, but you can also get further afield in the Netherlands too - up to the north or down to Maastricht. A good chance to get to see more than just the usual suspects in the Netherlands.
From here i plan on doing weekend trips to nearby places in germany and belgium. When I finish workiong is when i want to backpack south. I would love to spend time in Italy, Spain and France (and perhaps maake a visit to santarini)
Look at the Eurail Global Youth Flexipass - good over a 2-month period and you buy a certain number of unlimited travel days to use when you want over that two-month period - a 'flexible' pass as opposed to a consecutive-day pass, which would be worthless to you
And by hopping night trains, always popular with young folk, you can literally relocate overnight to a distant edo japan a virtual tour country and on this pass only use one day of travel - due to the 7pm rule where if you board an overnight train after 7pm - nearly always the case - then the next day is your unlimited travel day - you get 7pm to midnight gratis
Thus you could take a train from Amsterdam or Utrecht at night and be in Munich in the morning or in Zurich and then have all the next day to use on the pass - like going onto Venice if you wanted edo japan a virtual tour - all in one day on the pass. Plus you save a night's hotel/hostel costs.
