Question by Emily: What is the most effective method of travel through Europe?
I am a 20-year-old male traveling by myself throughout Europe from Feb-Aug, and I’m wondering what the best method of travel is. I’m looking through Eurrail, planes, bikes, and buses, and what I have determined is that whatever is cheapest in that area is the best. I’m thinking of flying large distances, and renting a bike to travel around cities and smaller areas. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Answer by Joe
Europe’s rail system is incredible. If i were you, I would get a pass and just use the rails as much as possible.
