A Eurail Pass Is Not Always the Best Option for Train Travel in Europe

You can only buy a Eurail pass in the U.S. but it's not always your best option for train travel in Europe. According to Mark Smith, BudgetTravel.com's editor, "In theory, Eurail tickets can ONLY be bought outside Europe, as they are intended for overseas visitors. But in many cases you'll find ordinary point-to-point tickets are a cheaper option, especially if you book direct with the European rail operators at their own website rather than through an expensive US agency, and especially if you are prepared to pre-book tickets on a no-refunds, no-changes-to-travel-plans basis so as to take advantage of European railways' various budget-airline-beating special train deals."

RailPass.com is a great resource for purchasing individual train tickets for people wanting limited travel that already know there exact destinations. They have an integrated search engine where you put your trip information (departure, destination, date, etc.) and it will give you the best and cheapest option for your selected trip.
