Rail and City Pass– Depending on how many days we stay and what sightseeing ideas we have in mind, we use a combination of city pass (which gives free museum entrances and transit tickets) and use trains for country travel.

Train travel is great in Europe. If you book tickets early, look for high-speed trains if possible and they can be booked online.We use Rail Europeto book train tickets.
