Point to Point Cheat Shee
The cheat sheet below will help you estimate your point-to-point rail expenses.
Well over 100 connections are listed. If your estimate is equal or close to
the cost of the railpass you are interested in, the convenience a pass offers
may be worth it to you. As you will see, rail tickets in central Europe can
be rather steep. A few night trains in Germany can cost you a small fortune.
On the other hand, you’ll be hard pressed to get your moneys worth in Spain.
Thus, where you plan to travel needs to be considered. If you plan to travel
with 2 or more travel parnters or if you are under 26 years of age, a railpass
becomes a better value. If your trip is 2 weeks or less, you may have to spend
a lot of time on the rails for a railpass to pay off; especially in southern
or eastern Europe. Finally, if you plan 5 or more night trains during your journey,
a railpass (especially a Europass), will likely prove to be a money saver.
Before you start clicking below, have an idea where
you want to go and which railpass is the most likely to work for you. Figure out
how much your pass will cost you on a daily bases. Finally, take a look at the
prices below. Not every possible connection is provided, but the information
provided should help you decide whether a given railpass is a good deal. If your
route is not listed, find a similar route and the price will be about the
same. The prices noted are one way 2nd class - plus or minus
$5.
To estimate a fare between several cities, just add
up each individual fare. The information is listed under the city name that
is first in alphabetical order, whether it is your departure or destination
city. For example, if you want a fare for Paris to Avignon, click on Avignon.
If you want a fare between Oslo and Stavenger (not listed below), click on Oslo.
You will find the price in $USD and approximate travel time in hours. NT
means a night train is available offering couchettes/sleepers. X means
you will need to change trains. The travel times may vary depending on the type
of train you take.
