What are the needs for traveling Europe?

I want to buy a month long ticket on the EuroRail. I plan on bringing my bike on the train and getting on and off whenever I wish. Can you sleep on the train? Can I bring my bike on it, or would I have to take it apart? What are some hidden fees that I may run across? I am a college student, so I dont have a lot of money. Any other advice would be appreciated.What are the needs for traveling Europe?
You need to know that most high speed trains, international trains and night trains will require you to make reservations and pay an extra fee beyond the cost of the Eurail pass. The additional charges often aren't high, but they do add up and it is often cheaper to just buy point-to-point tickets from the individual railroads. This is particularly true if you have a specific itinerary and can buy tickets in advance to take advantage of available discounts. See: http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservation鈥?/a> , http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservation鈥?/a> , http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservation鈥?/a> . Personally, I use the night trains a lot and have no problem sleeping in a berth on the trains. Others don't always find it so easy.



Some trains allow bikes, others don't: http://www.eurail.com/eurail-faq-bring-b鈥?/a>



You might find this to be a good resource for seeing Europe by train: http://www.seat61.com/ It has much more information that there is room for here.
How are you getting a bike there- you live in Europe already?? I believe you can bring a bike on board but there is an additional cost. Yes, you can sleep on a train- in fact night trains have convertible beds.
