Is it cheaper to take a European vacation using Eurail passes or individual train tickets for travel?
Eurail passes have a fixed price per various set durations, so if you have to travel rather frequently, it will be a better deal for you. (From Wikitravel.org:) There are many different types of Eurail passes. The major variations are: * Eurailpass, for 1st-class travel * Eurail Saverpass, for two to five people always travelling together (15% discount) * Eurail Youthpass, for 2nd-class travel (must be under 26 on the first day of use) * Eurail Selectpass, for travel in 3, 4 or 5 countries (also available in Saver and Youth versions) * Eurail Regional Pass, for 3-10 days of travel in a 2 month period between two bordering countries connected by train or ship. New for 2006: * Single-Country Passes to Greece, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden. * Two-Country Passes to Benelux-France, France-Germany, France-Italy, Germany-Benelux, Germany-Denmark, Germany-Sw
