Can someone help me with eurorail passes.?

OK I am kind of confused about eurorail passes. I am studying abroad in Sweden in fall 08, and wanted to get a Scandinavia regional pass. My cheapest option is the 4 days in 2 months pass at $260. So, does that mean I only get 4 days of travel? Or do I get 4 days of free travel along with discounted travel if I go over the 4 days? I was planning on going to at least Oslo, Copenhagen, and Helsinki. Would the pass be my cheapest option, or should I just do point to point travel? I'm just kind of confused by the passes, the eurorail website doesn't do a very good job of explaining them.Can someone help me with eurorail passes.?
The others are correct - it's a total of 4 days travel in two months with no additional discounts.



You'll be better off getting point-to-point tickets, especially if you're studying in Lund (Copenhagen is very close - an easy day trip on the local trains). For longer ranges, it's often cheaper and faster to fly. There are a lot of budget airlines operating here in Europe. This is a good site for identifying the airlines that fly between a given city pair: http://www.whichbudget.com/. Another good site for planning cheap flights here is: http://www.skyscanner.net/eur/?redirectu鈥?/a>
4 days in two months means that you can travel where ever you want in the eurail system for a total of 4 days and you have up to 2 months to use those 4 days. i got a month long pass, and every 2 or 3 days i was moving to another country.Can someone help me with eurorail passes.?
I think it's 4 days in two months, and it doesn't look like there is an additional discount on normal fares. Point to point travel is NOT an option - the fares will wipe you out.



If you can do the 4 days in two months, get that. If not, you will have to go to the 5 etc. pass. Assuming you're a youth and going on a youth pass, you might consider the three country pass which is $339 for 6 days of travel in 2 months, 7 days if you buy by March 2008. The countries have to border one another, which I think is your case. (My geography totally sucks.) I was an old hag when I first went to Europe so I had a regular old adult pass for three months or something. Good luck and have a blast.
Hi There !! I have travelled with that 4 days in 2 months stuff and it severly restricted my travels. Once you use the ticket for a trip that counts as one days travel even if you are talking a 20 mintue trip..



Although I cannot remember the name of it there is another better and cheaper option (called Interrail perhaps? can't quite remember) other than Eurail if you are living in the EU already. I would try to get to an STA travel if you can as I have found them to be very knowledgeable about all the trains and passes in Europe. hope that helps !
Will you be in Europe for 6 months before you travel, in that case you can go for an InterRail pass,

There used to be a scan rail pass, but that is discontinued.

But Students can get good reductions in Norway and Sweden.
