Hi All,
I'm looking at taking a trip round europe using night trains and can't work out whether it would be cheaper to get a global pass and reservations or book the trains separately. Could someone help me with this?
The route is as follows:
Amsterdam-Berlin
Berlin-Vienna
Vienna-Venice
Venice-Munich
Munich-Amsterdam.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi.
Take care at the second link (demozoo) as it seems not to be up to date, at least the connections I saw - and it doesn't show the reservation fees for Interrailers.
If you want to find out the prices for reservations when using a rail pass, check the following links.

To compare these reservation fees with Interrail ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-global-pass[/u] ), have a look on the websites of Deutsche Bahn ( [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] ) , ÖBB ([b]oebb.at[/b]) and Trenitalia (trenitalia.it).
Using Interrail, you can make use of the 1900h-rule: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train[/u]

I did Amsterdam - Berlin - Vienna - Rome (but went outside of Venice) last year, and got individual seat tickets for about 25EUR per leg, though please be warned, the Amsterdam-Berlin sleeper arrives into Berlin at something like 4am!
Effectively, I went from Brussels to Rome (I started my trip in Brussels) for 100EUR, but then, I had the trip planned at LEAST 2 months in advance. I'd book on each companies sites (e.g. Amsterdam-Berlin on the Dutch railways site) - however, I did have problems booking the Berlin - Vienna ticket online, and had to call Deutsche Bahn and do it over the phone!
Good luck!
