whats will be the easiest/ cheapest order of travel??
Mon, 07/20/2009 - 00:54
Am wanting to visit England, Ireland, France and Italy- from Melb Australia.
What would be the easiest/ cheapest order to visit the countries/ by what method of transport?
thanks

Train or bus within England and Ireland will be cheapest and easiest. I would fly between England and Ireland and take Eurostar, the chunnel train between England and France. Flying may be cheaper than Eurostar, but it’s slower and certainly not “easier.” Within both France and Italy I would rely entirely on the train. Whether the train or flying is cheaper and/or easier between those two countries depends on which specific cities you choose to visit.
I’m planning on going to Europe for a month. I want to visit Madrid, Barcelona, Nice, Florence, Rome, Venice, Amsterdam, London, Paris, and then back to Madrid. Is that a good order/ itinerary for the amount of time? Also should I travel by train if so is the global pass the best deal?
Madrid, Barcelona, Nice, Florence, Rome, Athens, Venice, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Madrid
Barcelona, Nice, Venice, Florence, Rome, Preveza, Prague, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona
Paris, Avignon, Florence, Rome, Paris
Also is 3000 enough for everything minus airfare?
Madrid, Barcelona, Nice, Florence, Rome, Athens, Venice, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Madrid
Barcelona, Nice, Venice, Florence, Rome, Preveza, Prague, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona
Paris, Avignon, Florence, Rome, Paris
I would certainly go for the Global pass. Also i would probably start and finish in London.
Hope that helps.

I don’t think a global pass is a good idea. You’re only visiting 3 countries (UK isn’t covered by a eurail pass) where you can use it and you might find bus a better option in Ireland which means you’d only use a pass in 2 countries. Further, I prefer not to use a railpass in Italy as I don’t think it saves enough money to be worth the reservations hassle. Look at a 3 country select or just a France pass. A global pass would be a huge waste of money if you’re only visiting the countries you’ve mentioned.
