I paid $ 560 for a $ 7 euros edition to Country Hop by train through Europe. It was much better than flying.

• I traveled by train in four European countries using the edition of Eurail in 2022. October

• I preferred the country’s jumping experience for the train to fly to each location.

• Traveling by train was more convenient and sustainable than flying.

Train train rhythms flying any day – at least in Europe.

I formed this opinion in 2022. October, when I spent two weeks a backpack through Europe with the edition of Eurail.

Eurail spends unlimited access to many days of European trains for travelers. Some train only requires edition of the Eurail, while others, including night trains, cost an additional discount.

Instead of driving through the airports and squeezing the seating of the buses, I traveled in the rails in affordable, top -level classes. That is why I will only drive through Europe in the future.

I use Eurail to travel by train from Germany to Austria, Italy and Switzerland. I also traveled on the rails in every country.

It was my first time I used Eurail and I bought a weekly edition for $ 477.

According to the search on the company’s website, the ticket to the same trip in 2025. It would cost about $ 337.

In total, I drove an eight -day train between six different cities.

I paid additional fees for my Eurail permission for two night trains, and when I resumed from Coach to the first and business class in three runs. Each attached fee was between $ 10 and $ 45, taking into account the duration of the trip. The total cost of travel trains was $ 560 with updates.

Flying would have been more expensive than the Eurail Pass.

Based on a quick search for Google Flights for 2025. For the trip, if I raised between the economy class of each city instead, it would cost about $ 440.

With Eurail, I could afford to go in the first and business class in large, plush locations.

From satellite service to excessive bathrooms with mood light, traveling to business class through Italy was a dream. Similar cabins on plane would be too expensive for me.

I also booked a bunk cab on a night train.

I could lie down and sleep, which would have been much harder for the flight of red eyes.

In addition, the trains were lighter and faster boarding than flights.

Instead of surviving a long registration and security process at the airport, I could just go straight to the train platform.

In the trains, I did not experience one of the most annoying things about flying: Ear plundering, which often lasts a couple of days.

I also did not miss the flights dehydrate my body.

With large windows overlooking scenic scenery, my train rides overlook every country that I would not have seen from the plane.

Without a rise and landing, the views of the flight windows do not change significantly. But when I traveled from Italy to Switzerland, looking out the window, I kept the iPad all the way.

Finally, I appreciated that the train by train was a more sustainable way to get around Europe.

Travel sustainability experts have previously told Business Insider that carbon traces may be reduced during travel by travel by train travel.

For me, the EURAIL PASS trip turned out to be more convenient than flying.

Now I will travel by train every time I am in Europe.
