- Chosen by Voters Bicycling is cheap, but limited in how far you can go in a fixed period of time. It's a great way to see the countryside though. The cheapest and most efficient way to go depends on where you are and where you want to go. There are still several budget airlines here. Over longer distances, this is often the best way to go especially if you have limited time. A couple of good resources for budget flights are: http://www.whichbudget.com/en/ , and http://www.skyscanner.net/The trains are often the best option. I live in northern Italy and use the trains for exploring extensively. The night trains are a good option for longer distances. You can sleep through the night, arrive early in the morning at your destination and not have to pay for a hotel for the night. There are often good discounts available on berths if you buy tickets far enough in advance. There are good night train options between Barcelona and Milan or between Paris and Venice or Florence/Rome, for example.Someone mentioned Interrail – you cannot do that since Interrail is for EU citizens and residents. Eurail would be a possibility, but it's often cheaper just to buy individual tickets directly from the national rail systems. There are additional reservations fees/supplements on the faster trains and night trains with the pass.http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/cms/v/i… (Italy)http://www.sncf.com/en_EN/flash/ (France).http://www.renfe.es/horarios/english/ind… (Spain) 3 years ago 50% 2 Votes 9 people rated this as good

- Chosen by Voters You want a travel in which you stop in London, Paris and Frankfurt?In that case, go to a travel agency and have them buy tickets for you.If they buy it for you 3 months before travel, you should get the best price.Only if you want to spend about half your time in a train the rail pass is likely cheaper. Eurail as you are from outside Europe. (InterRail is just for Europeans.) If you want to do it yourself, you can follow the links on this page: http://www.seat61.com/railshop.htmAgain, do not try to buy much more than 3 months in advance, most tickets will not be on sale yet, some are just available 2 months before travel.Remember, the times for next year will not yet be known, mostly schedules are published twice a year in the start of summer and in December. But if you want to do a plan, the times this summer are likely almost the same as those next year, mostly the times just change by a few minutes. Maybe one train is added to or taken from the schedule, but there are many trains each day.If you want to do a test run in buying tickets, in all systems you can 'order' a ticket but till you enter your personal details you do not buy. Just play around a bit.That same site also has an information page on rail passes: http://www.seat61.com/Railpass-and-Eurai… There is a lot of information there, the first three items are worth reading, from there on just read what sounds like you can use it. 8 months ago 37% 7 Votes 2 people rated this as good

- Chosen by Voters You can get around this in two ways.If you buy a wireless network adapter, yes, it would work only in the Wi-Fi spots and there too, if they are open to public access.The other way is to get a mobile service provider's wireless internet access card. It would cost you to buy the card and also for your usage according to the plan you subscribe to, and will depend on the service provider. The important thing to look for here is the network coverage of your operator. Ensure that your operator has network where you plan to go or has tie-ups which will enable you remain connected. I don't know about the operators in Europe. So do some research and zero in on an operator who has this service and offers it at an economic rate. 5 years ago 100% 2 Votes

- Chosen by Voters To travel within the EU you need your passport or national ID card. Portuguese ID cards attract extra scrutiny as so many are stolen or faked by South Americans. For back up take your birth cert with you just in case. 2 months ago 40% 2 Votes 3 people rated this as good

- Chosen by Voters It depends on how long you will be over there. I wont necessarily list all that you need, but ill answer your specific questions:-Well your cell phone will depend on what you have. If you have a world phone, tri-band (most likely not) then no its all set. If you have most carriers though, all you will need to do is purchase a sim card at your destination airport- there not much, like 20 bucks, which allow you to use there service with your carrier. If you have Verizon, then you will need a new phone, but again there prepaid phones arent more than 50 bucks.-The flight will be around 8-10 hours depending on where you are leaving from, but its all at night so you can sleep (unless your me, I cant on planes lol). -As said, buy a 20 dollar electric converter for mainland Europe so that you can plug in the ipod.-Dont bring a computer, too much to worry about.-Pack as light as you can-Money- well you can use the atms and your card there, so you dont really need any money initiallyParis- go see the sewer system- google it. Its really cool, it doesnt smell by the way. Also see the catacombs. Dont wait in line at the eiffel tower unless you wish, the view is better on the north side of town at the chapel. 2 years ago 100% 2 Votes

- Chosen by Voters There is an excellent resource for train travel in Europe here: http://www.seat61.com/ which provides links to the various national train websites and explains rail passes in detail. It has much more information than there is room for in an answer here. However, in general, Eurorail/Eurail does not run any trains at all; they sell passes that can be used on the train systems in participating countries. You can pretty much use the passes on any trains run by the participating railroads. However, some trains will have quotas on the number of passes that can be used on a given train, and some trains require reservations including an extra cost. For example, the fast trains here in Italy require a reservation and a fee of 10 euro per train when you're using a pass. It is almost always cheaper just to buy individual tickets here rather than using a rail pass. On the slower regional trains, you can just use the pass as your ticket. All that is explained in the site above which also will help you determine whether a pass is cheaper than just buying individual tickets and which pass to buy. There's also information on reservations/supplements here: http://www.eurail.com/planning/train-sea… , http://www.eurail.com/planning/train-sea… , http://www.eurail.com/planning/train-sea… . Generally, in order to make reservations, you'll need to go to the station, a travel agent that deals with train tickets, or a third party seller. Only a couple of countries, including Italy, allow you to purchase the seat reservation only on-line when using a pass.With a five country pass, you do get to choose the five countries you want, but you need to be careful because you cannot use the pass on a route that goes through a non-included country. You get unlimited transportation within or between the included countries for the number of travel days you've selected. For example, If you chose Italy, France, Benelux, Germany and Austria, you would would not be able to use the pass on a route that passed through Switzerland although you could just pay for a ticket. 11 months ago 100% 3 Votes 11 people rated this as good
