Question on train pass

Posted by Kathy (Valrico, Fl) on 10/04/22 03:09 PM

Hi,
I will be flying into Zurich Switerland and taking the train to Lauterbrunnen for my stay in Murren. While in Murren I will take the train for a daytrip to Liechtenstein. I will be traveling by train from Lauterbrunnen to Brussels Belgium, while in Belgium I will take a day trip by train to Luxembourg. Upon leaving Belgium I will be traveling by train to Amsterdam. I have looked at the train info but find it a little confusing.
My question is...is there a pass I should buy which will cover all the train travel or should I buy a pass to cover Switzerland, Belgium and Amsterdam and just buy tickets for the day trips? Which is the best pass for me to get?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Just noting that I believe that to get to Liechtenstein requires a train/bus combination.

From Zurich to Brussels is approximately 375 miles, and a train trip is maybe 12+ hours.

You can fly the route in 1 hr. 15 minutes on 3 non-stop flights per day. Have you considered flying?

Once you get to Brussels, you can catch trains to Luxembourg and Amsterdam easily.

Liechtenstein is much closer from Zurich than from Lauterbrunnen.

Luxembourg is on the way to Brussels, via Metz and Strasbourg. Backtracking from Brussels is a serious investment in time.

you'll get good insights into trains AND passes from the Man in Seat 61. it seems these days the once-beloved Eurail pass has fallen out of favor.

Also try Rick's Europe guidebook for info on passes.
