Type of Eurail Pass - TravelPUNK Backpacker College Student Budget Travel Message Boards!

I've heard a lot of good things about the Eurail pass, and I'm fairly sure I'll get it, unless someone can come up with a really good reason not to. I may be on the train every few days--or I may not, I don't know, but I definitely want to travel by train instead of plane. (Sleep on the train, ambiance, etc.)

So my question is this, I'll be there for roughly a month, so which pass should I get?
*Youth Flexi Pass, 10-days in 2 months, for $465.
*Youth Flexi Pass, 15-days in 2 months, for $614.
*Youth Pass, one-month consecutive for $634.

I'll be there for just a few days over a month, but I'm making different arrangements for the first and last few, so one month worth of travel would definitely cover me. Since I'm not going for sight-seeing--that's for a later trip--and I refuse to plan anything after I get off the boat in Roscoff, I can't say how much I'll be travelling or how long I'll stay anywhere. Obviously I'll want to spend some nights in bars but you know, I obviously never know. Long story short: I think I would feel safer, knowing I can get anywhere whenever, with the 15-day, but if I'm already spending $614, does it make sense to spend the extra $20 for the total freedom?

What do you think?

$20 more for total freedom?? Does the word DUH mean anything to you??

Seriously though-- yeah, spend the extra 20.

And welcome to the boards!!

Welcome. Yeah, you pretty much answered your own question.

I guess the question was really between the 10-day and the unlimited, or that's what you guys are telling me!

Thanks, I think you've helped me figure this out.
