Hi,

I'm preparing for my first trip to Europe to visit friends and family, and could definitely use some help figuring out the most efficient/economical method.

The destinations for this trip are in the following order: Frankfurt (DE), Strasbourg (FR), Freiburg (DE), Zurich (CH), and Florence (IT) (note: I'll be flying from U.S. to Frankfurt and then returning Florence to U.S.).

My main question is whether or not it would be more cost-effective to just pay as I go instead of getting a pass. The reason I ask is because I will be spending at least one day in each city. So, despite the fact that the first four cities are in close proximity to each other, it would cost me three travel days to get to Zurich (with a pass)- I'd be using up entire days of travel for each short, 2-3 hour train ride.

That being said, as a first time traveler, I have no idea what kind of prices or extra difficulties I would face trying to pay as I went. Any advice would be immensely helpful. Thank you so much in advance!
