Salzburg-venice TRAIN
Venice-rome TRAIN
Rome-Egypt FLY
Egypt- Sydney HOME! FLY
Any help would be great! we are not doing any tours or bus about we are going independantly.
Thanks!!
You can go on the net, but pre booking was a pain (i found). If you go to a hostal, they’ll give you tips and you’ll probably change your plans on the way. This is the best way to travel when in an unknown country. I wouldnt do anything from australia because you’ve never been there.
When i went from paris to madrid, i just turned up and paid on the day.
The eurostar has tickets you can buy where you can travel any day at all within a certain timeframe.
Have fun
Go to eurail.com and look at the different ticket plans for purchase. You really don’t need to pre-book unless you need a sleeper or an overnight train. however, the earlier in the day you go the less crowded it seems. You will get a map with your tickets as well as info if you need to make reservations.Ferries book quickly if you’re going to Egypt so you may want to pre book that portion. Flying is very expensive in Europe so check it out first.
