Rail Passes

My wife and I are considering getting an Eastern Eurail Pass
for travel this summer. Should we go for 2nd Class or 1st Class tickets? Is it worth the extra cost to go 1st class?

It all depends of the length of the train ride. Go 2nd class if you can. You save money and it is not bad on short rides. We did 2nd class from Rome to Venice. No problem. Do you need a pass for what you are wanting to do? Sometimes Point to Point tickets can be less. Others here on the board have more expertise on the costs.

first class is usually empty, and second is not. but with a first class pass you can move to second if you wish.
