- Visiting multiple countries for your European jaunt calls for purchasing, before departing from the United States, an unlimited rail pass, which proves to be cheaper than buying multiple individual rail tickets.
- One-country rail passes offer you a large discount for unlimited traveling by train, but they are restricted to travel in only one nation.
- A point-to-point ticket offers the best deal if you are planning only one train trip on your vacation; always request saver fares at the ticket office, since many countries offer lower pricing for off peak travel and special discounts for families traveling together.
- Unlimited time on your hands means you can take the local on a point-to-point journey, since it is always priced lower than a high-speed train and offers a way to mingle with residents of the country.
- Sitting in second class will save you money on either a rail pass or point-to-point ticket and is perfectly fine for passage on the well-maintained European trains.
- Sign up on the websites for individual rail lines in the country/countries where you want to travel, since they periodically offer deals on specific routes at a great savings.
