Thank you so much, I had a hard time finding how much it would cost, just a ball park. Under 200 us$ ??
Because European railways now price their tickets much like airlines, that is a tough question. Buy a ticket at the station tomorrow, and it could be expensive. Buy tickets that are nonrefundable 3 months ahead and they can be quite a deal. When are you traveling?
It could be anywhere from 175 EUR tomorrow walk up price to 79 EUR 3 months from now with nonrefundable ticket.
Hi Mary
If you click the link I put in my last post you can check using your travel date. I just used a random date of June 16 and there is a button to request a price for this trip - so put in your date then request a price.
