Hi all I'm trying to figure out whether or not its a good idea to get a eurail pass or not I just wanna make sure its worth it....so heres my plan so far I arrive in london May 7th from there this is the general direction: cork-dublin-edinburg-amsterdam-cologne-prague-rome-florence-barcelona-paris-london-home these are the places we definitly plan on going I just want to make sure that there still the option of change but based on this do you think a pass is worth it...I'm just worried that i'm going to spend $1000 on something that I won't use.....but so many people say you should definitly get one

I actually checked them out and found that they were more expensive for the tickeet I'm looking at with return they were like 780 with taxes and air canada was 730 cad, so I guess it really depends what your looking for.

I was talking to someone and they said the same thing about brussels and if we really want to go there to make it a day trip....I guess most of our time in Belgium could be day trips from what i've been told...a day in three different places throughout Belgium.... what do you think? ?

Well for Denmark my friend wants to go to Coppenhagen so I thought 2 days would be fine then in Spain we want to go to Bunol for La Tomatina festival which is only 2 hours on the last wednesday in August, but we also want to go to Madrid, Marbella, Segovia and Tossa de mar (there's more I just can't think of them at this very sec).....

My friend really wants to see Denmark and we both want to go to Switzerland....maybe we'll just go to Denmark for a day instead and shorten Switzerland....Slovakia isn't a necessary place to see for us....how many days do you think we need for Spain and how many for Portugal?

Thanks for the reply Would I be better off shortening the time in Slovakia and adding it else where....we can extend days where we need to this was just are 2nd draft....we figure roughly about 100 days is how long we'll be gone for.....we know is going to cost quite a bit thats why were saving for almost 2 years by then we'll have roughly 15000 canadian which is about 10 000 Euros If this is a route its not likely that we'll get back to go to Oktoberfest it was just a thought.....how many days do you think we should add or remove from Slovakia...Spain...Portugal...or any other countries..... Thanks again, Jocelyne
