It is very important that you do this before the conductor checks your pass;&nbsp;otherwise, you will have to pay a hefty fine and a full fare ticket.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-18291 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"eurail pass\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-9-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"eurail pass\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-5-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Eurail Pass: about seat reservations<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don&#8217;t worry: it&#8217;s very straightforward. Once again, you will need to get to the reservation desk. Just show your pass, explain where you want to go and when, and voil\u00e0!&nbsp;If you&#8217;ve done your homework and you&#8217;ve established a definite itinerary, then there shouldn&#8217;t be any issues.&nbsp;Remember that fees vary depending on the length of the journey and&nbsp;whether you travel in first or second class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do you absolutely need to reserve your seat?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not at all!&nbsp;If you really don&#8217;t want to pay for seat reservations, you can choose to travel exclusively on slow or local trains. But&nbsp;overnight and high-speed trains do require reservations. You see,&nbsp;some of these trains only have a limited number of seats available for pass holders and they tend to sell out quickly; if you plan on travelling on popular routes, try to reserve your seat as early as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s worth noting that in my experience, the process of reserving seats is usually simpler in bigger cities, for two reasons: officials usually speak better English, and they&#8217;re a little savvier about optimal routes and fares. If you find a particularly cooperative clerk, you can even ask them to reserve the seats you&#8217;ll be needing on the entire duration of your trip and get everything done in just one transaction!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Good to know: you can pre-book your reservations with Eurail directly (additional fees apply).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18298\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18298\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18298 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4.jpg\" alt=\"eurail pass\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-4-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">K\u00f8benhavn Station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18304\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18304 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10.jpg\" alt=\"Eurostar from Paris to London\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/eurail-pass-10-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris Gare du Nord<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Eurail Pass: is it worth it?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because I tend to bite off more than I can chew and that I always seem to embark on epic multi-country journeys, the Eurail pass was very much worth its price in my case. I&#8217;m positive that they haven&#8217;t made a centime of profit with me on this trip; I was quite thorough in taking trains for review purposes!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whether or not they&#8217;re worth it for you, though, depends on your itinerary and travel style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bottom line: Eurail passes are worth it if you plan on doing long, multi-destination trips in countries that are typically expensive. They&#8217;re probably not worth it otherwise.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don&#8217;t automatically assume that you need a pass for your trip: take some time to sit down and do the math.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can use tools like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bahn.com\/i\/view\/overseas\/en\/index.shtml?dbkanal_001=L17_S02_D002_KSE0001_AdwInt-Kanada_LZ01&amp;s_kwcid=AL!198!3!73336348764!p!!g!!db&amp;ef_id=VlqAawAAAUFvjhRN:20160302213659:s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deutsche Bahn<\/a> to find out the cost of each train journey and see if the pass is worth your while.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It should be noted, though, that peace of mind has a price. Not having to worry about queuing up for a ticket, going through several transactions, and worrying about the cost every time is definitely something to consider here. I call that the &#8220;hassle&#8221; factor: if it seems daunting to go through that process every time you take the train, then maybe you should consider getting a pass.

But that doesn&#8217;t imply that second class cabins are bad in any way!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many countries have their own rail passes &#8211; like the <a href=\"http:\/\/tidd.ly\/4ff569b8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">United Kingdom<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swiss-pass.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Switzerland<\/a>, for example.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tempted to book cheap flights instead? Think again. Trains are much better than planes, for plenty of reasons: they&#8217;re not as stressful (no security checks), they take you from city centre to city centre, they&#8217;re incredibly scenic&nbsp;and give you more legroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you&#8217;re worried about the cost of seat reservations in 1st class, ask to be seated in 2nd class for that leg of your trip!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Eurail pass holders receive <a href=\"http:\/\/tidd.ly\/da4761db\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exclusive
