    I would also add that in some countries in Europe, don't discount renting a car and doing a road trip. 🚗 I was in Bosnia & Herzegovina this summer, and a whole week's car rental (quite new, nice to drive) was only 120 EUROS, and fuel was really cheap too. That gave me freedom to explore anywhere I wanted, and get to places where it would have been impossible (or at least impractical) to take buses/trains, etc. 😃

    • @HappytoWander
      @HappytoWander  5 років тому +5

      Xennial Traveller ah so true!! I actually don’t drive so don’t rent a car too often hehe but I do love a good road trip (as a passenger!) Car rentals in Europe can be super tricky with hidden costs, but you’re right - when you can find a good deal and share with a group, it can be really good. Maybe a topic for another video!

    • @XennialTraveller
      @XennialTraveller 5 років тому +1

      @@HappytoWander Hidden costs are certainly something to look out for (like you pointed out with airlines), but with car hire they are fairly manageable - you can even get excess insurance to cover any potential crashes. Road trips are super fun!

    Great video, thanks for explaining about the buses. I have used Eurail twice now and I love it. It is NOT for everyone however. But for me I just like to explore and have the option to get on a train or off without an absolute plan. I am traveling again in September of to Europe and I will be using a rail pass. I actually planned out the places I am "planning" to go. I priced the tickets as if I was buying them today, 30 days in advance and 90 days in advance. Huge difference in the cost. The cheapest individual tickets cost $475 and the price of the pass is $417. I get the senior discount. The passes are on sale right now so the pass now costs $360. Those advance tickets are for a specific train. I will have to pay some reservation fees, but I can go where I want, basically when I want so the pass is what I choose. Again not for everybody. If you are not planning to roam aimlessly, then probably not the way to go. Since I want to be able to change my mind and my route I like the flexibility of the eurail pass. Again thanks for this video, I am going to check out some of the things you pointed out. One tip from me, download the free Eurail app and check it out.

Great tip about regional railways, which can also be a better way to see the country - and you can just turn up and take a bike on board! I'll be going through your tubes for more tips. BTW, as someone definitely over 30 :) I've looked at Eur/InterRail and they never seem worth it. And it's more fun to plan on the day anyway!

      Have you booked yet? I would book as soon as possible (within a year) and I would also not take a flight between Paris and London, but rather a train (or a Flixbus if you're really going for cheap) and probably between Switzerland and Italy as well.
