I have planned a trip to eastern Europe (Austria, Czech and Hungary) in the the month of september and i need help figuring out my transportation between these countries and from Switzerland to Salzburg as I will be in Switzerland before starting my trip to Central/Eastern Europe.
I found out that Rail Europe offers a pass called European East Pass for $209 valid for 5 days in 1 month..and covers 5 countries (Austria, Czech, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Anybody purchased this pass?? Any restrictions?? Is it cheaper to buy a train pass for 3 countries or it will be cheaper to buy point-to point tickets??
Is it necessary to buy the train tickets with reservation in advance... Is it easier that way??
Wouldn't this be cheaper then buying point-to-point tickets..even if they are 29 euros..if i make below listed journeys..
Sargans(switzerland)- Salzburg
Salsburg-Innsbruck (round trip)
Salzburg-Vienna
Vienna-Prague
Prague-Vienna
Vienna-Budapest
