Train fares and tariffs / Last minute trip - little time to pre book. Berlin-Prague-Budapest-Florence
« on: June 17, 2012, 04:21:22 pm »
Hi, I have about three weeks to get from Berlin to Florence, and I was hoping to go through Prague and Budapest on the way (and presumably Vienna since it's on the way, or not if there's an alternative).
Are discount fares ever available at the train station without pre-booking? I can't really pre-book anything since most railways insist on mailing tickets, which obviously won't reach my hostels before I need to move on. I could use e-tickets and print them at the hostels though.
How would I go about getting from Budapest-Florence cheaply? Through Vienna?
I've booked nothing so if it's cheaper to chance the route and go through different cities I can easily do that.
Thanks.
