Hi everyone, thanks tUt for the information very much appreciated.

Some great tips for prices and the websites were very useful, some are still very difficult to navigate around though, some difficulty on my end with the spelling of some the names of the cities. But it's working out well.

My friend and I are also looking perhaps travelling to Krakow, we looked at it before but thought it may be too far away. But looking at train prices from Prague we thought it could be okay. However, it appears that the trains are overnight only? As are most of the bus timetables running at night til early morning. However, my friend and I would prefer to travel during the day (say 9-10am departure) and arrive early evening to still enjoy some sites in Krakow. As I can't imagine we would sleep well to enjoy Krakow the next day if it were by train.
We were perhaps thinking going from Prague to Krakow then from Krakow to Budapest? Possibly by train by the looks of it. Otherwise it might be back to Prague then down to Vienna to budapest, but we can only fly out of Vienna so it means having to back track again to Vienna. Exploring a few possibilities depending on time etc.

Hello everyone

I'm a first time traveller looking to go to europe in early May 2013, I'm from Australia. A friend and I have been looking at our travel plans and have so far decided to go from Amsterdam down to Budapest with two - three days in each city. We initially looked at some flights for travel, then thought the Busabout, until we stumbled across the eurail website, which is still cheaper than Busabout and probably twice as fast. However, after reading the information from this website and realising that estimation of the tickets from city to city, we might be better off booking each train trip individually, or even breaking it up into two or more stops to save money. Having read some reviews about eurail and the extras others have had to pay for reservations, it appears exceedingly expensive for certain trips, especially those that thought the eurail 5 country ticket meant getting on and off where ever they wanted then being stung with extra fees on the day, one person mentioned paying up to 50euros, which is more than some tickets.

Anyway, it will be myself and a friend, both over the age 26 and with probably a 20kg bag each (we also have a tour from London to Paris to Amsterdam beforehand, hence all the luggage). Based on some of the websites I looked at for each country, it appears to early for me to book anything at the moment. But I was wondering if I could get some help with estimated costs, as I'm having some trouble navigating my way around some of the websites, despite the english translations. Any information would be much appreciated!

Kind regards

Kai
