Train fares and tariffs / Re: TCV/SCIC-NRT vs. Eurail?
« on: July 08, 2012, 02:31:32 pm »
Considering _only_ the Prague-Belgrade part, I'd definitely buy local train tickets. They're practically free in eastern Europe. Even cheaper, if you want to travel some more in the upper Balkans, consider buying a Balkan Flexipass at a local (capital city) train station. From Kiev to Belgrade, my choice would be to go through Romania, which I find a lot more pleasant than Hungary (if you can avoid Bucharest). However, I don't know how accessible Moldova is...
For the Belgrade-Barcelona pass you're travelling 5 countries in few days, so Eurail probably won't be beneficial here as well. If you have the time, take local intercity trains. For the part Belgrade-Zagreb, the night-train is a nice option (have a big pizza at the Belgrade train station on the wooden benches before you go, then you can handle the booze the conductor is selling on the train).
Have fun!
