You may not want a railpass; you may want a railpass. It's going to take some work to price out each leg of your trip, them compare that with one railpass or another...Use the "Railpasses" tab at the top of this page for probably the clearest explanation of your choices. If you can commit very early, you can save A LOT of € by purchasing point-to-point tickets in advance - in some countries...Here's where the work comes in......And anymore, it's harder to just hop-on and hop-off a train with a railpass without first needing to buy a reservation at the station...(ah, the old days...). Go to each country's train website and plug in your days of travel; write the prices down and add them up. Then compare that figure to the equivalent railpass. If you've already done that and you're sure you want a railpass, then what trains do you want to take? How long will you be traveling? Will you be traveling alone? You might want to look at the "Select Pass" 4-Country Pass...
