Where do I go to find out prices? I went to Eurorail.com but could not find any useful information.I want to travel from Bari Italy to Amsterdam. I want to take the Euro rail.?
Eurail doesn't run any trains; they sell passes that can be used on the various national train systems. Bari to Amsterdam is a very long train trip requiring changes. It will take 22 to 26 hours of travel time. There are no direct trains from Italy to Amsterdam right now. You'll need to take the train from Bari to Milan and from there go to Basel or Paris to get a train to Amsterdam using the most efficient ways to go. The Trenitalia site that Bla Bla gave you won't price the whole trip, but is good for trains originating in Italy.
Bari to Milan is 8 to 10 hours on the train. The supplement when you have a Eurail pass is 10 euro on the fast trains. You can see this by using the pull down menu that says more fares on the fares and preferences page that comes up when you select a specific train. You can do the same thing for trains from Milan to Paris or Basel to find the supplement. The supplement to Paris will depend on the train and accomodations. Seats on a day train are a 10 euro supplement, or a berth in a 6 bed compartment would be 25 euro (45 euro for a 4 bed compartment). Then you will need either the French train website http://www.sncf.com/en_EN/flash/ or the Swiss train website http://mct.sbb.ch/mct/en/reisen.htm to continue to price tickets the rest of the way. If you go through Paris, you'll need to take the metro between the station where the train from Milan arrives (Paris Bercy) and the station where the train to Amsterdam leaves.
As much as I like train travel here in Europe, I fly when going to Amsterdam from my home in northern Italy. It's much faster and more convenient. You might want to check options on http://www.skyscanner.net/ . One note: if you do use a rail pass here in Italy, make sure that you make your reservation before getting on the train. There can be a substantial fine otherwise.I want to travel from Bari Italy to Amsterdam. I want to take the Euro rail.?
