Next year, I will be travelling by train from Italy to Sweden, I'll stay in Europe 35 days. The cities that I plan to go are the next:
2 days: Florence, Side trip:Siena (Italy).
My plane arrive in Rome.
Trips:
Rome - Florence
Florence - Siena Florence
8 days: Lugano, Lucern, Bern, Montreaux, Golden Pass (it is included free of charge in Eurail Pass), Zurich, Lausanne, Geneve, Gruyeres (Switzerland).
Trips:
Florence - Milano - Lugano
Lugano - Lucern
Golden Pass
Montreaux - Lausanne - Gruyeres.
Montreaux - Bern
Bern - Zurich
2 days: Heidelberg, Hamburg (Germany).
Trips:
Zurich - Heidelberg
Heidelberg - Hamburg
4 days: Copenhague, Side trips: Odense, Helsingor (Denmark).
Trips:
Hamburg - Copenhague
Copenhague - Helsingor - Copenhague
Copenhague - Odense - Copenhague
Copenhague - Malmö
8 days: Oslo - Alesund (roundtrip, train goes to Andalsnes then bus tu Alesund) Oslo - Bergen (roundtrip) (Norway).
Trips:
Malmö - Göteborg
Göteborg - Oslo
Oslo - Alesund - Oslo
Oslo - Bergen - Oslo
11 days: Malmö, Göteborg, Stockholm, Gotland Island (Discounted tickets with Eurail) Side trip: Uppsala (Sweden).
Oslo - Stockholm
Stockholm - Uppsala - Stockholm.
I plan to buy the Eurail Pass for 30 continuos days, which is 770€. I know I will have to pay around 20€ in reservations fees in Italy, and maybe around 20€ in Norway. Buy I think that the other trips don't need reservation. I did the maths and buying a Swiss Rail Pass (around 300€ for 8 days), and buying train tickets in advance (low cost tickets) in Italy, Germany, Norway, Denmark and Sweden everything sums up 920€.
I read a lot of threads in this forum that recommend don't buying the Eurail Pass. Could it be that in this case it is best to buy the Eurail Pass? What am I missing?
Thanks a lot for your advice. Sorry for my english. Thanks!
