Eurail Regional Usage

Posted by (Atlanta, GA, USA) on

My itinerary: London 4 dys. (Eurostar)- Paris 3 dys.(NT)-Venice 3 dys.-Florece 2 dys.- Rome 3 dys.
I will be 26 on day of travel I've be looking at getting the Eurail France-Itlay 4 day Adult Flexipass.

My Question: Does each day count toward the # of travel days on your railpass once you get the railpass validated or only when you use the railpass is when it counts toward a travel day on your railpass? I want to make sure I am getting the correct railpass. Is the flexibile railpass the way to go?

Question: Are there more than one stop for the Eurostar from london-paris or is there only one stop?

The Franch-Italy pass allows four days that can be used anytime within the two months....any four days. The RailEurope website states, "Travel days may be used consecutively or non-consecutively." But with the pass costing you $354 plus shipping, you may want to consider point to point. A second-class six-person couchette on the overnight Paris-Venice train can be had for 50 Euro ($80) while thru RailEurope you'll have to pay $42 extra. From Venice to Florence, and Florence to Rome,an "Amica" fare at Trenitalia is as low as 26-29 Euro ($42-47), while RailEurope will charge you $26 extra for each of those runs...even in Italy, you'll pay about 15 Euro ($24) extra with your pass. So that's $448 plus shipping, versus @$170, point to point.

Answer to your first question: the latter. It is only the Eurail Global Flexipass that counts days from validation. You are considering the France-Italy Regional Pass.


However, booking point-to-point tickets will be cheaper:


Paris Bercy-Venezia Mestre = 50E - PREMS fare

Venezia Mestre-Firenze = 17.40E - Amica fare

Firenze-Roma = 28.90E

Total = 96.30 Euros

France-Italy 4 Day pass = $349USD (EuRail.com)

Book Paris-Venice on Voyages-sncf.com. Book the other two on Trenitalia.

Second question: For stops in between London and Paris, it depends on what journey you choose. There is only one stop in London. Same for Paris.

EDIT: Seems like Norm beat me to it. Great minds think alike! ;)
