eurail pass? I will be staying in Europe from June 8 - July 14 and I will be visiting: London, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, St. Tropez, Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Barcelona, and Madrid. I know the eurail passes do not work in England and I am planning on flying from Rome to Barcelona...so should I still get a pass for 8 travel days? Also, is it worth it to buy one of those international student cards if I will be staying in Europe for a month? If you have any other helpful tips and suggestions about backpacking through Europe, let me know!! Thanks!!
 
I hitchhiked so I never used a eurail pass or a student card but you should decide what you plan to do ahead of time.
 
Eurail is the only way to travel. You learn how to use it, when traveling one of your days go as far as you can and get off the train before midnight as they will stamp your 2nd day. Get your map out and plan your stops it is quick, reliable and well worth it. Make sure you travel light as it is hard moving with much stuff. You can add travel into London through the Chunnel but it is pretty expensive.
