With a Eurail Pass
Traveling by train is one of the oldest means of transport across the world, and though technology advancements have improved this common means of transport, it is still the best way to explore distant lands at a close range. Railway networks in Europe are efficient and well connected making it easier and faster to move across countries.
If you plan to visit several countries within Europe via a train then you might consider getting a Eurail Pass to save money on your travels. You need to plan your itinerary carefully before deciding to buy a pass. After planning your itinerary, calculate the cost of every individual ticket along your route and compare with the cost of the pass.
