Is the global pass worth the cost if I am trying to travel to about 8 different cities? I want to see as much as possible on a very tight budget and can't figure out if there are too many added on fees along the way.. thanks

Megan - it really depends on your itinerary and length of the pass - do you need a 15 day or 1 month? The only way to really know is to sit down and price out point to point tickets vs a rail pass with any supplements. If you will be traveling much in France or Belgium the supplements are VERY steep

Re: "very STEEP supplements" in Belgium and France. That's why you avoid riding the Thalys train, even with a Global Pass.
