Cheaper rail passes that include just one-or, in some cases, a few-countries are also available. If you’re going only to France, for example, you might consider a France Railpass, which allows for three days of travel in one month for $160 (2nd Class). If you want to swing up to Britain for a few days, consider the BritFrance Railpass-shunned by ardent patriots in both countries-good for rail travel in France and Great Britain for five days within a one-month period. The BritFrance Railpass costs $280 (2nd Class).
These suggestions only scratch the surface. Passes restricted to Eastern European countries are becoming increasingly popular, and many special combo packages now allow for a joint rail pass and automobile rental option in one. Such a pass can make the normally restrictive rates of car-rental abroad close to affordable (especially if you’re willing to squeeze three or four people into a Citroen).
