I'll have to run the numbers and see which option makes the most sense for us. Robyn
The Czech Rail System has two multi-country passes
A Czech-Austria Pass = any four days in two months $220 First Class
the above is discounted to about $185 per person for two or more pass
buyers.
B Eastern European Pass allows First Class travel on five days in one month
in any of the following countries Austria,Poland, Czech Rep, Slovakia and
Hungary , cost was about $255 ( or $180 for second class) I believe
it goes down to $225 for two or more pax.
We used B around Easter to visit Prague, Vienna, Salzburg and Budapest and found it much easier, more relaxing and almost quicker than flying (considering transit and airport wait times)
No need to pre-reserve trains plus in Austria you get use the decent OBB.
First Class lounges.
Tickets were bought on the Rail-Europe website and I believe MUST be bought outside of the countries with the tickets issused in your name.
