Hi Guys,
It is my first time traveling by train in the Euroupe than I am kind of lost...heheh
I heard many times that buy passes is cheaper than buy point to point tickets but I did many simulation and seems that in my case...by point to point is cheaper... Could u help me to check if I am doing it correctly?
15/ago - 00:00-06:00 AM - Prague-Vienna - USD 139
19/ago - 07-10 PM - Vienna - Budapest - USD 67
23/ago - 06:00-00 AM - Budapest-Zagreb - USD 68
24/ago - Zagreb-Split - USD 40
[b]Total: USD 314[/b]
I believe that I need to buy EuRail SELECT Pass ADULT -4 countries-5 travel days within a time frame of 2 months that will cost USD 534... I am traveling with one adult friend
I will be very pleasure for any help to make my trip cheaper...

Hi.
I wonder where did you find these expensive rip-off prices for point to point tickets? :o
Prague - Vienna: from CZK 500 = EUR 19 at rail.shop/cd
Vienna - Budapest: from EUR 19 at rail.shop/oebb
Budapest - Zagreb: EUR 29 at rail.shop/mav
Zagreb - Split: EUR 16 at the station in Zagreb
[b]Total: EUR 83 = USD 107[/b]
Just go to the schedules and follow the blue car where you are linked to the places where you get the best prices.

Hi.
Definitely the best for this route are point to point tickets.
And you can buy them all online.
The one from [b]Budapest to Zagreb[/b] you have to pick up at a ticket machine in Budapest Keleti station. It is the one where you arrive and leave. Main entrance turn right, 10 meters. Enter your ten digits code (English language available) and you get your ticket. The other ones come by email.
Zagreb-Split easy at the station. And I just saw one mistake I made. It is [b]EUR 26[/b] (197 HRK) not EUR 16 for [b]Zagreb - Split[/b]. Sorry.
Plus the money for the reservation (same like the ones for rail passes) if you want to use a night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/eurail-night-train/split-zagreb-b820/131[/u]

Hi.
Prague - Vienna and Budapest-Zagreb the pre-booking time is 2 months.
Try for example the same date one month earlier in June. There it works. So you still have to wait a little bit until you can buy these tickets.

Hi.
A simple answer... just read what I wrote:
Prague - Vienna: [b]from[/b] CZK 500 = EUR 19 at rail.shop/cd
The day trains starts from this price which you can find of the website of CD.
But now you asked them for real luxury... a SLEEPER + 2 or 3 bed cabin. [b]OF COURSE[/b] this is much more expensive than a simple day train in 2nd class!!!
