Hello
It's the first time that I am travelling to Europe and I am looking for a train to go from Budapest to Berlin. I found a train information about a train here giving informations about how to buy. After I followed the instructions the price of the rail pass was really cheaper.
Is it right? Am I buying the tickets for the train or just making a reservation for it and I will have to pay more later?
The link here I found this ticket is:

The prices shown in the low end are the ADD-ON you need to pay beside the pass.
Daft simple rule of thumb; a pass will never be cheaper as a normal single. Unless you are some USAer who does not even know what pass really means. Here in Europe a pass is a ticket for several days valid in a larger area for unlimited travel-not just the ''pass to travel'' for a single trip. As a non-European you can only avail yourself of the EUrail passes. I assume you will want to make more as just this trip?

Hi.
Like nltrainer said: you need a rail pass like Interrail ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail[/u] ) as your basic ticket on which you add the mentioned reservation fees. But a rail pass is only worth if you travel several trips trough Europe.
Otherwise buy a point to point ticket if you only travel this single trip.
