Travel plans, routes and timetables / EUROPE MADNESS IN MAY-JUN 2012
« on: February 22, 2012, 05:12:40 am »
Dear friends,
The following is my itinerary for my Europe trip this summer break. I am trying to keep my travel expenses to the min., so I sincerely hope all of you can advice us on the type of ticket to buy, as I find the Eurail pass too steep. My point of comparison will 30 days Global pass 567 euro. I'm currently a youth under 26 and I will be travelling with 2 other youths.
Barcelona to Avignon (hope to drop by Aries for a short visit, hope to get a overnight train from Barcelona)
Avignon to Nice (hope to drop by Toulon/Aix en Provence for a short visit in the day, final stop will end at Nice)
Nice to Monaco (heard of the 1 euro bus trips)
Nice to Cinque Terre (overnight trains will be prefered)
Cinque Terre to Milan
Milan to Venice
Venice to Florence
Florence to Rome
Rome to Sorrento (include visiting Pompeii and isle of capri)
Sorrento back to Rome for internal flight to Budapest
Travelling within eastern europe:
Budapest
Vienna
Prague
Munich (tentative)
My key concerns are:
Should opt for globalpass or choose to buy individual tickets such: Barcelona to Avignon , France inter state tickets, nice to cinque terre (France to Italy ticket), Italy region ticket (which allows us to travel to Cinque terre, Milan,Venice, Florence,Rome,Pompeii and Isle of Capri) within a time period of 13 days and 5 days Eastern Europe traveling pass
Looking forward for your advice! Thanks a lot!!
