Hello! I'm sure some of you recognize my itinerary. I'm am trying to find the best combination of transportation for my March/April 2009 trip.
I am planning on buying a 2nd Class Youth Railpass for 4 countries (even though I'm only visiting three...but Italy and Germany do not border) for 10 travel days. In addition, I'll need to add my Prague Excursion Pass.
Also, I'll need two bus routes and one point-to-point trip along with my airfare from Barcelona to Rome. (Or so it seems...they don't make a four country railpass with 15 days, which is a shame...)
People have suggested to me that bus is "cheap" and "fast" going Siena-Florence. Also the Prague-Dresden route.
I'm just curious as to what you transportation gurus suggest, after looking at my itinerary...which combination would be best. Thank you so much!
