What is the cheapest way to travel by train in Europe?
I wonder if anyone has had experience traveling in Europe is, England / United Kingdom or Spain by train. Never done this before would like some advice. Thank you!
Regional trains are cheaper but slower than trains as high-speed Eurostar or Intercity. It is not always cheaper to get a Eurail pass – if you are taking a lot of long distance trains can be a good business. However, you must pay an additional fare on Eurostar, Intercity trains some of the night. With point to point tickets, sometimes there are discounts and promotions you should look. For example, here in Italy there are some tickets on Eurostar or Intercity in the Amica fare, which saves about 20% in http://www.trenitalia.com/en/promozioni_offerte/promozioni/tariffa_amica.html normal rate. Similar agreements exist called "Smart fee" on some international trains. Milan http://www.trenitalia.com/en/promozioni_offerte/promozioni/smart_price.html Amsterdam is as low as 29 euros for a seat or 39 euros for a place in a cuchette. You can go from Venice to Zagreb from 15 euros. There are only a few seats on any given train at the special rate. These are available from 60 days before departure. Now there is a fee for day trains from Milan to Paris for 30 Euro countries Other similar agreements http://www.trenitalia.com/en/promozioni_offerte/promozioni_internazionali/promoparissun.html check on the websites of the train systems and seek the promotions section.
