Thanks for your useful comments. How do I make a reservation from
North America? Do I have to be in Europe to make one? My first stop
is Amsterdam. Can I make ALL my onward reservations at Amsterdam
Centraal?

Thanks for your useful comments. I wonder if the "interrail
backpackers" whom I guess are mainly Europeans travel in First Class?
Hopefully they stay in 2nd class so there are more seats in First?

My son and his three friends had no problem getting reservations on a
night train from A'dam to Munich this week.

The best way to avoid high prices is to avoid the top tourist cities.
Paris is a wonderful place, but very pricey. Reims is only about 1 1/2
away and you can get nice accommodation for less than 1/2 what you would
pay in Paris. It's not Paris, but it is very nice. If you are planning
on going to Venice, you can stay in Padua, about a 20 minute train ride
away. You can slip into Venice, have a look around, take a Vaporatto ride
around the canals, maybe have a meal., and then slip back to Padua at the
end of the day to your much cheaper hotel room.

Europe is no less safe than Canada. The biggest risk is probably
pickpockets, since they tend to work areas with a lot of tourists. Carry
only as much money as you can afford to lose, and keep your credit cards
and passport in more secure places.

Avoid the big cities. As well has being more expensive, you will likely
see more tourists and restaurants and attractions geared toward tourists
than local flavour.
> Any other general tips will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Get moving early in the morning. Hop on the earliest train you can and
get your daily travel over with so that you can enjoy your destination.
Personally, I think that you are really pushing it to plan to see
Switzerland and Italy as well as France, Belgium and Holland. I would
suggest that you go to Germany instead. There are lots of great places
there, and you will cut down on your travel time.
BTW.... you might want to check and make sure that your rail pass is valid
before hoping on a train in Switzerland. Some of the rails there are
privately run and not covered by the Eurail pass.

Interrail is mainly valid for 2 class only, unless you pay a surcharge being
the difference between 2cl and 1cl.
There's less business travelling in August so you're possibly more likely to
find a seat in 1cl.
As for night trains couchettes may be sold out and sleepers may be used for
alternatively 2 or 1cl and there's much demand for leisure trips so you're
advised to make reservations for night trains as soon as possible.

Thank you for this site suggestion. This is an amazing rail schedule
site as well, providing all the details of conecting train routes
which no other site provides!

Personally i prefer the DB site:

or the SBB site:
http://fahrplan.sbb.ch/bin/query.exe/en
But as usual, YMMV.

I have a suggestion for anyone who will spend much time on trains
in German: the Bahncard 50. It's good for a year and provides a
50% discount on all tickets for the cardholder and others in
his/her party. It costs EUR 200 and the senior version is EUR
100. I bought mine in Koeln and saved the EUR 100 price as soon
as I bought tickets for my wife and I to Muenchen on the ICE.
They took my picture when I bought and gave me a temporary
Bahncard validation; the actual card was waiting for me at home
in the USA when I returned.
