Train fares and tariffs / Trains in Central Europe
« on: July 26, 2012, 12:52:53 pm »
Hi,
We will be visiting Central Europe next week - we are arriving Salzburg on August 1, and will then travel by train to Budapest, Vienna and Prague.
We haven't booked any train tickets yet. Our choices now are:
(1) Book point to point restricted tickets on the train operators website - these are for specific trains and not flexible (booking Budapest to Vienna is a challenge on the MAV website) - approx works out to Euro 125 per peson
(2) Buy a eastern europe eurail pass for 5 days - Euro 153 per person
(3) Buy tickets directly at the station on the day of the travel - gives us flexibility to choose the train that we want to take - not sure if the costs will be the same as Option 1.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks.
