HI,
I have a business visit in Europe for 4 weeks and would like go around few places during weekends. My plan is I will be entering and leaving Europe through Copenhagen. Based on my visits, I plan to do following by train over weekends and my travel in trains might be 6 to 7 days. My travel plans include following ways:
Copenhagen to Gotenborg(sweden), Gotenborg to Copenhagen, Copenhagen to Hamburg, Hamburg to Zurich and return to Copenhagen
Will Eurorail Global pass with 7days validity be used across above train lines right from Copenhagen, Sweden, Germany and Switzerland?
or suggest any alternative that could work better cost for travel across
Also can you suggest a good travel tour organizer in Zurich who will cover day trips including Lucrene and Jungfraujoch ?

Hello
possibly you can get cheap saver tickets from hamburg to switzerland and back at https://rail.shop/bahn (the trick is to work with multiple stops and long waiting times there. eg hamburg-zurich(20h) -interlaken ost (where you should stay one night to get early in the morning the least expensive way (chf 145!) to get to the jungfraujoch: https://www.jungfrau.ch/shop/en/good-morning-ticket-jungfraujoch/ )
If you want a less expensive mountain with also better view: check rigi, stanserhorn, monte generoso, or rochers de naye (these are my facourites). I really like the jungfraujoch. But its very expensive and overfloated by tourists, and also doesnt offer a panoramic view but just a view in two directions. and if you also want some view in zurich, go to the uetliberg, which should be included in the city ticket. i recommend a visit during sunset, its beautiful.
you can also enter lucerne as via the possibility to get savertickets is maximum two stops with maximum 47:59h duration each.
For Denmark and sweden I know nothing about their saver tickets, but I think they should also have some. But to know what is cheaper, you have to check it in detail, which means lot of work. The eurail pass would be the more comfortable way, for sure.

Hi!
A Eurail pass will be valid on all train lines you will travel on during your planned trips; however if you have fixed dates for these trips regular tickets bought in advance might be cheaper.
You can compare prices for regular tickets here:
Copenhagen - Gothenburg: [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/sj[/ux] or [ux]https://rail.shop/tagbokningen[/ux]
Copenhagen - Hamburg and Hamburg - Zurich: [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] or [ux]https://rail.shop/omio[/ux]
For travel tours within Switzerland have a look at [ux]https://rail.shop/railtour[/ux]
