I'm planning to backpack around Europe next summer from mid June until mid August 2009. I think I will use eurail and get a 5 country pass for 15 days travel in 2 months.
Can anyone tell me if eurail and other things like it are worth the convenience or if I should just buy tickets as I travel?
I would also appreciate any advice on the whole thing, overall prices, hostels, how easy it is to get night trains, anything.
I've never traveled in this way before, I want to go to mainly large cities through France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and wherever I travel through in between.
I'm currently traveling alone but I think I can probably convince a friend or two to accompany me for at least some of it.
If anyone will be backpacking in western europe around the same time feel free to add me on facebook
