Hi,
A group of us have booked a flight to Zagreb on the 12th of July and are hoping to travel through eastern europe and then end the trip in Amsterdam. All we've booked is the flight to croatia (not even a flight home!) but we are unsure weather or not to buy interrail passes. We are hoping to travel for 4-5 weeks probably visiting around 8 countries possibly more. Is it worth buying passes for Eastern Europe or are the trains pretty cheap if you book as you go? Any help would be brilliant as we really dont have a clue!
Cheers

Hi.
A 10 in 22 InterRail Global Pass is a good choice. But depends on where you travel. How many travel days you will have? Which countries exactly? Which routes?

you dit not tell age-for under 26 IR is quite cheap. For normal traintickets you would have to pay full fare. No-they are not that cheap as guidebooks tell anymore-, though certainly still cheaper as in the UK.
To cross DE and NL-this on normal fares would mean well over 100€-more as half a 5/10 day pass. Though if you cross DE on a weekendday, you might use the happy-weekend ticket, valid for German part only.
In PL and CZ there are very cheap local weekly or 3 in 1M ride at will tickets-you coudl use these in addition.
now hope whether the wheather will be good-after many monthes of sun only and scorching heat, it seems the rains are coming down without end.
