Eurorail Help!! Please!?

I am trying to travel from Amsterdam to Bern April 14, 2008... does anyone have any suggestions on if this is possible?

I am trying to learn the eurorail system before I go, but so far it has been very confusing. Also is it possible to go from Vienna Switzerland to Rome? If so does someone know about how long?

Thank You!

Depart Amsterdam Centraal on Apr.14th

at 20:32 (8.32 pm) on CNL40319 (CityNightLine Pegasus) to Basel SBB station arrive at 06:54 next morning, then from

Basel SBB at 07:01 on IC 959 InterCity (Direction: Interlaken Ost)

arrive in Bern at 07:56



Reserve these trains. Get a couchette for the night train. You'll sleep cozy.





For Vienna (Austria, not Switzerland) to Rome:

Depart Wien (Vienna) S眉dbahnhof at 19:15 on train "EN 235 EuroNight Allegro Tosca"

Arrive next morn. in

Roma Termini at 09:05 am



There are night and day trains from Switzerland to Rome, too. You can check complete schedules for all of Europe on Austria's railway website:

http://www.oebb.at/en



TO check the prices, go to

http://www.raileurope.com

(but they don't have as complete schedules as oebb.)

You might want to consider a Eurail Selectpass including Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. You'll still have to pay extra for Couchettes on night trains. If you're traveling wiht others you can get a Eurail Select Saver pass if you stay together.
Hello John B:



Go here ~ http://www.eurail.com/ . . . all of your questions and planning can be found on this site.



Times, schedules ~ EuroRail doesn't includ Italy; however, from Switzerland to Rome is a one day trip on the ground and a quick flight if you go by air.

If you have bought your Eurrail pass, you should have received a map of the entire train system. If you haven't, then you can probably check it online. I don't really know how the schedule book that came with the passes works. I always went to the train station I was departing from, and checked the board. It tells you which train, track, and whether you need to change somewhere. It isn't as complicated as you are making it.
What exactly are you asking? How to get on the cheap from Amsterdam to Bern on Apr 14th? You got the option of bus, plane and train, see

Or are you asking about which Eurail pass would be best for you? If this is the case please give us some idea about your initiary.



You also need to read the Eurail pass primer from Rick Steves: http://www.ricksteves.com/rail/rail_menu鈥?/a>



Vienna is in Austria, btw. Best way to get from Vienna to Italy is to take the night train to Venice.



Feel free to email me if you got questions about the European rail system.
