Eurorail questions

09.25.2004

In between cleaning my apartment & watching World Poker Tour, I'm looking up European travel info. Thanks to Cat's tips on The Screen Savers, I discovered Mobissimo. It's still in beta, but it searches the other major ticket engines & actually undercuts them.

I'm also looking at Eurorail info. I did find the very useful BootsnAll.com & Eurotrip, and there's always Lonely Planet. Anyone else out there can provide tips? Or maybe I should just stay in Rome the whole time? But I would love to see Barcelona. My biggest question about the Eurorail is: Can I sleep on the trains between cities (avoiding looking for hostels)?

If you've any advice, let me know. Or contribute to my All Roads Lead to Rome fundraiser.

If you take one of the regional trains from Rome to Barcelona, it'll take pretty much all night and you could get some sleep.
I took the regional from Rome to Nice and I got some sleep--usually these are crowded because they're so much cheaper and slower.

You may wanna see if there are any discount flights from Rome to Barcelona. You might get a return ticket for 50$. Quite cheap - and fast.
Airlines that are discounters are Easy Jet and Ryan Air for instance.
