If you travel on a slightly later train then there are €49 fares available.



My girlfriend and I did something similar three years ago. We flew into Budapest and then travelled by train to Bratislava, Vienna, Salzburg, Prague and Berlin before flying home. Did this in two weeks without Interrail passes, just bought the tickets at the station as we went. However I had researched it like you seem to be doing at the moment to check the availability of trains and prices. Only problems I remember were; Budapest - whilst the ticket line wasn't long, we waited for ages to get served (lucky we went the day before travelling) and Vienna - the tickets we were issued were for the wrong day but this was easily rectified.

Another site to look at is www.raileurope.co.uk (cashback available from Quidco). This shows Prague - Warsaw £65 and Warsaw - Wroclaw £24. Have a play around and find out how much the fares add up to and compare this with the Interrail pass. http://www.interrail.net/english/fares.php

Thanks mate. Do you think it was better that you bought tickets as you went along or regretted and thought should have done that prior to the journey.

Buying them as we went along was fine; generally we would arrive and buy the tickets for the next destination whilst we were at the station. Our trip was pretty much planned ahead as we had booked all our accommodation in advance through hostel world so we knew which which dates we were travelling on. I think my gf would have preferred us to have the tickets in advance but she is just a nervous traveller.

We did consider getting Interrail tickets but the cost was more than we spent buying tickets seperately. If you look at the ticket page on their website you can buy a pass for the whole of Europe or zones of Europe.
