Aleckii asked:

I plan to buy a EurailPass 2007, allowing me to travel continuously for 15 days, in order to save time, 4 of the nights we will spend in night trains. But it is stated that we have to pay a supplementary price on a night time (or pay additionally to make reservations), can somebody help me find out what the supplementary charges are?

Also I read that some night trains offer Sleepers, couchettes, sleperetts, etc. A few people have said that it might be uncomfortable to sleep in night trains, is it true? To me and my friends, who are used to taking night trains, we actually find them comfortable.

Anyway, the following are the night trains we are taking, how can we check the supplementary price (on top of the EurailPass 2007)?

EuroNight(EN) Train From Venice to Vienna

DB Nachtzug(NZ) Berlin to Brussels

City NightLine(CNL) Amsterdam to Basel

City NightLine(CNL) Salzburg to Frankfurt

Anastasia asked:

I am flying out of Salzburg, Austria in July and I am going to Rome. I stay in Berchtesgaden, Germany. What would be the best way to get to Salzburg airport from Berchtesgaden? I dont want to drive there.
Then when we are in Rome, would it be wise just to take a taxi to the Termini station from the airport because my hotel is right near Termini.

GarboFour asked:

I’ll be travelling across Austria recently and plan to leave for Salzburg, right after a classical Melk->Krems cruise. I’ve been searching online but failed to find a train to book.

Is there any train or travelling coach from Krems to Salzburg? If not, how can I do that?

Thanks very much!

p.s. It’ll be GreatER if anyone knows websites about it.
I hope there’s a train with which I can use my InterRail Pass. Other transportation is okay as long as it’s not too expensive.

Lesia H asked:

Is this too much travelling for 40 days?
I dont want to just focus on two countries, i want to see more than that, but i don’t want to overdo it and not have any time to relax.

Costs:
Plane ticket to Europe: $1500
Eurorail pass: $833 (1 month)
Eurostar pass to Brussels: $90
Bus from Brussels to Paris: $50
Flight from Paris to Madrid: $120
Flight from Barcelona to Geneva: $100
Separate train rides from Vienna-Prague and Prague to Berlin $200
Museum tickets: $300
Souvenirs: $200
emergency money: $100
Bus Tickets in the cities: $150
Entertainment: $100
Total: $3743
Food: $34 a day= $1360 (times 40)
Housing: $35 a day (some nights on train) (times 40) = $1400
Grand Total: $6500
Is this a realistic budget? especially, are the lodging and food cost reasonable. I plan on staying in mostly youth hostels or overnight on the train. I do know that it costs extra for a bed on the train too.
Oh, and i’m under 25, so i get all the youth discounts on the eurorail pass and for museums and stuff.

Ok, so i do realize that this itinerary was too much travelling. I think if i cut out Spain in general, Venice, Bern, Lausanne and Luzern and Cologne then it will be more reasonable. My friend that lives in Germany said that Cologne is worth visiting, but i dont know, perhaps i will cut out hamburg too.
Also, i have been to europe b4. I actually just spent 3 weeks there last summer, so i think i do know how big it is. Also, my friend and I that are going arent big drinkers. I will probably go to clubs/bars twice a week or so.
And when i was in europe last summer, half of the museums that i went to gave student discounts, and so does eurorail. I think its $200 cheaper if you under 26. I understand that my lodging budget it too low. But it seems like you can get a hostel for about 30 euros a night?

anita z asked:

Im going to go to germany then take the subway or train to austria? how much will that cost me? and what is the cost to travel to salzburg from vienna?

Michael Dowdall asked:

I wanna go to sallbach or salzburg in july 2010 to snowboard. Will there be any snow? and will it be a thick covering? How much will it be for two weeks aprx? there will be two people going. 16 year olds.

Is it ok for two 16 year olds to stay in a hotel for two weeks unaccompanied. We speak fluent german so nothing will be a problem on the communication front.

Thanks
