Wanting to travel around a few countries in europe with family, and was thinking would this be the better option? As dont want to drive and with 2 teenagers figured this was a good way for them to see europe & keeping them busy. Any routes that anyone could recommend thks.

You are good. Like you the reservation concept makes me think no. Back in 1984 traveled 21 days basically on the rail. I made mistakes off train and on anther train no fees. One time I made a mistake traveled light the older policeman no English it was cold I was locked in a train station. It was so cold the police man was like an angel.. thanks yours truly Evans w Robinson ret sgt

Root beer is great! It doesn’t belong in that museum.

Thank you for the video.

Reading an interesting article on BBC news about the issues. Many Europeans would be happy to travel by rail even though flights are cheaper because of sustainability. But from one country to the next can be problematic. So the different countries INSTEAD of getting the rails together are looking at ways to fine and tax the skies. Seems just like our American government! Instead of fixing anything they pursue dead ends. Why not employ a few think tanks to implement solutions rather than ignoring the rail issues and forcing higher costs to air travel? Because...more expensive flights will not fix the ground issue. People will still end up flying at higher costs and nothing is solved.

Super helpful! Thank YOU!

I use mine as a buffer for day not primary long distance travel. France and Italy can get difficult so maybe its not for you. I hop day to day around France no problem minus Paris. I fly long distance for time even if im spending $100 over my pass. Time is of the essence for me. Just dont expect it to do everything.

Informative

Good point about coachsurfing. Shame about price, but guess it has to host website....

Thank you for your video it will help us with our trip. One clarification if i will be in zurich for 3 days or any other cities can i use my global pass for all the trains i want to use moving within that city or from one city to another city

I audited your channel and found some problems. Your channel is not SEO'd, there is no description in the video. They help a video stand out from the crowd. This is the problem with your channel. ❤

Hi I'm going Paris to Rome on eurail I live in USA I need help with purchasing the pass

So glad you’ve made some more videos. I love watching. You are so good at teaching and explaining travel.

You should try going back, I was there with my family a week ago and they now have another 2 chili extract sauces to try. The Final Answer was the last one in this video at 1.5 Million Scoville units, then there's "Toxic Waste" at 6.4 Million Scoville units and finally "Grim Reaper" at 9 Million Scoville units which I had to hold the toothpick in my mouth for 15 seconds to earn the right to spin the "Wheel of disgust" and earn the right to buy an "I tasted everything" t shirt which I'm happy to wear with pride!

Hi dear , I have a quick question I’m gonna travel next week and I wanna travel from Amsterdam to Brussels on 2nd sep,Brussels to Düsseldorf on 3rd sep and Düsseldorf to Berlin on 5th sep . Can I use eurail pass

How would you recommend traveling if Paris is going to be my hub but I want to take day trips to different countries?

I am traveling to france in december I am planning to arrive to paris and take a train to strasbourg first, spend 2 nights there then take a train to reims and spend two night there as well then back to paris and stay another week before coming back to miami. the way I understand I shoul dbuy a 3 travel day eurail pass correct? 1 day from paris to strasbourg second day from strasbourg to reims and third day reims back to paris am I right?

I was offered a very delayed and even unavailable (too crowd, even the the doors could not be closed, impossible for me to get on), but Eurail refused to refund.

i think its too expensive...with the seat reservation crap.

According to some other source, if a ticket is booked for travel after 7pm and thr travel crosses midnight and the journey ends the next day, it is classified as a single day of travel.

useless if all you want is how to use the app for more than one person!

Awesome video. Amd great tips. Thanks for all the help!

sounds like individual tickets are a better bet than the eurail pass

New travel goal: get to the coliseum in the afternoon without validating my transit ticket, bring a seafood pasta with cheese and ketchup to cut up and eat while taking the site in and washing it down with a fat cappuccino all while smiling at strangers and saying hello in my best Italian accent. I’m also going to demand pineapple on my pizza.

my country dont show up as an alternative when im buying the pass.. what can i do? im from sweden

awesome video!

100% on the importance of flossing. Seriously, when you travel, particularly in developing countries, it is likely you're going to eat some very tough meat along the way that sticks between your teeth. A bad gum infection resulting from this can ruin your trip. Always carry dental floss, even if you aren't planning on using it regularly. I'll add that some medications that are legal in the US are totally illegal in some (all?) European countries (e.g. Adderall). Check before you go.

So how do you activate a pass ? What will the conductors ask for when they check ? is that all in the app ?

I bought a Eurail pass in May 2024, for my trip to Europe over July/August, and honestly I don't think it was worth it. Part of the reason I bought it was for the flexibility of booking closer to the time without the evr-increasing fares the closer you get BUT I'm finding that so many key train connections book out months in advance anyway, and the seat reservation fees are so high, that it would have been significantly cheaper to NOT buy the rail pass and just book point-to-point.

How do we know if seat to be reserved or not ?😊

I'm hoping do a 12 month trip all across mainland europe mostly by foot , i have nothing but time an time well spent will be me & freedom an away from routine . I have a limited budget with a reserv to get me back home when then budget is close to gone . Im shitting it one sence & will learn more about myself in this year of out my confort zone than 33 living init . Safety isn't anywhere on Earth its an illusion , planet as had mass extinctions . See it with that logic and the worlds less scary to travel as never know when times up

is busabout still around? any similar alternative?

Thanks for the info. The only thing that was very distracting was the actual visual focus of your video. You have too many things behind you (books and posters) that are always vying for the focus of your camera. This caused you to constantly be in and out of focus because you were moving around so much, which made it almost impossible to watch. Please consider removing all the things in the background that could cause your camera to focus on those things rather than you while you are presenting. Hope this helps and thanks again for the helpful info.

Thanks

Anyone know why the price for 15 days has jumped 189$, from 325$ to 514$ in just one year?

How come you do'nt do videos anymore? Your video are so entertaining!

I am a citizen, actually. I knew Vilks.

its incorrect that interail is for EU only. It is for all European travellers

let me do your audio editing for you. hit me up

They still have a scandanavia pass

thank you for the info. Another tip is to see if there is a discount on the railway.

Wow, thank you for sharing. Btw. I found discount for train ticket, I can share.

I’ve been getting cheap tickets on an app. Want a share?

12:31 - Is First Class recommended for riding on overnight trains?

worth it?

There are always very few seats to be reserved for Rail-pass or inter rail pass, Euro Star & TGV are very strict for this limited number of seats, Euro Rail pass is not 100% refundable, first you have to buy the pass and check for reservation, if unlucky you will have no route out from Netherlands to France or Spain just due there are not enough places & Euro Rail is happy to refund you either nothing or 85% so good business :)

can i book my seats in ticket desk at Schipol airport if part of my eurail pass travel is from luxembourg to germany?

How much should you tip the guide?

Thanks for sharing! I would also like to personally share the train card sale I just found on TrainPal! Feel free to join me so we can book together. Hope it works with everyone:))
