Train fares and tariffs / TCV/SCIC-NRT vs. Eurail?
« on: July 07, 2012, 04:17:19 pm »
Hi there,
So I am non-European
and need to figure out if Eurail pick 5 countries for E464 is a great deal or a rip-off for me. I'm traveling throughout the month of August, and am looking for a flexible-date-way to do Prague-Bratislava-Kiev-Belgrade. It seems like a TCV/SCIC-NRT bought in Prague is the best option, but I am researching around and can't figure out if all these countries participate in it? Or am I better off to just to buy the local train tickets at the station?
Another issue--I then need to get to Barcelona from Belgrade at the beginning of September to fly home...I'd really rather do that Serbia-Spain leg by rail than fly but it'd be great to have recommendations on what the most expensive part of that journey with the SCIC-NRT would be. Maybe Eurail is ultimately a better and cheaper option? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
