I will be traveling to Europe next summer and plan on visiting about 9 or 10 cities all over Europe in a 2 month span. I plan on getting the Eurorail pass, however, a friend said they think that I have to buy tickets in addition to the eurorail pass. If that is the case, is it even worth paying the 1000-1300 bucks for it?!?!?! On average, how much more will I have to pay? I'm still a little confused as to how it works exactly, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)Eurorail question....?
If you travel with the fast trains you will need to buy supplements or pay for seat reservations. On most trains, specially the slower ones, you can travel for free.

I have bought Eurailpasses for years. It's good if you're covering lots of territory. I don't know how old you are but over 26 it gets more expensive. I like the Eurail Selectpasses for 4 or 5 countries. You do have to pay extra for some trains, like maybe a 3 or 5 euro reservation fee or highspeed supplement. You also have to pay extra if you want a couchette to sleep comfortably. (I think it's worth the extra 21 e. to sleep on a night train in a bed.)
It's really cheaper to take a couple of flights now in EU on ryanair, easyjet, germanwings, or airberlin.
Those aren't the only ones, but the ones I know.Eurorail question....?
You'll find almost all about Eurorail on this site here :
