We knew it was going to be a good year to visit Europe when Eurail announced a 37 per cent reduction in its pass prices. Add concessions and discounts to that, and rail travel in the continent has never really felt so doable. But with so much to choose from, how does one maximise the benefits Here&rsquos a quick guide
- There are two lesser-known passes&mdashBenelux (Belgium Finland Norway Sweden) that work cheaper than a Global Pass ($187 Vs $337). So if you&rsquore planning to do these countries, you know which one to buy.
- There&rsquos a nifty tool on the Eurail website that not only helps you pick the right pass, it also informs you of any interesting discounts. So you win in any case.
- Not everything is about the trains. Ferry and city-card discounts come bundled with Eurail passes. Visit the website here to get the low-down.
