<BR><BR><BR><BR>Hi, does anyone know if you need train <BR>reservations for travel a day or two before/after Christmas or New Year's. Also, Eurail passes. Are they worth it, or should I take my chances buying tickets on day of travel. Thanks!<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR ><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>< BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR ><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>< BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR ><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>< BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

How about some additional information about what youm are asking.<BR><BR>Can't off a solution until we have the particulars

If you are only going 5 miles on one train, then the answer to your question about railpasses being worth it is obviously no. How can anyone possibly answer your question without even some basic facts.<BR>Also I doubt that you'll need a reservation to go from central Lyon to a suburb 3 miles out two days before Christmas. IS that what you're asking?

Sorry that I was not specific enough. Not too much experience in a travel forum.<BR><BR>Would you recommend train reservations for Dec 23 or 24 to Paris from Germany(probably Munich). Also, from southern Germany to Prague on Dec 30?<BR><BR>Trekking through Germany, Austria, Prague, and Paris. Is a rail pass the way to go or would buying tickets at departure times be the thing to do. <BR><BR>Thanks

You need reservations at those dates, but on your first day in Europe main ststions in cities will sell you reservations for your whole journey<BR><BR>Ben Haines, London

Probably too late to ask, but why so much train travel? From Munich to Paris on Dec 32? and then return to &quot;southern Germany&quot; to go from there to Prague on Dec 30?<BR><BR>Any reason you aren't traveling from Paris TO Munich as the first portion of your trip?<BR><BR>If you were visiting the US, would you travel from Atlanta to Kansas City, and then back to Atlanta, and then to Philadelphia? by train?<BR><BR>I fear that you have already locked yourself into these plans by virtue of air travel, or family commitments or something.<BR><BR>These are prett darn long distances!<BR><BR>Maybe there is still time for you to re-think the plans.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>
