We will EUPROPE! HELP me with the best way to travel ......? 3 weeks honeymoon next year, the first time traveler fiance, I want to do, it is easy to him.
We think a few options - we are friends in Amsterdam and traveling with them,
Land in Amsterdam, rent a car and drive continent.
From Amsterdam, round trip saves money, if we lose time to step back.
Land in Amsterdam, use Eurorail pass to a round-trip from Amsterdam. not need to worry about driving, parking etc.
Land in Amsterdam flights to the route most immediately and player / back rail in Amsterdam, in our time, without going back to worry.
Land in Amsterdam, Journey to the farthest point, fly back from there, hopefully for the better with way tickets.
What advice would you give us advice? would you recommend driving on Eurorail?
European cities are not the place to have a car;
Tank fill up more than $ 100
There is no parking,
Most streets are very narrow or in a manner
according to the city, people drive very aggressively (crazy) and public transportation is amazing.
It is smart to take a course in Euro-driving.
Driving in the countryside or along the coastal areas are much easier and allows you to stop in the "off track" places, and make your own schedule. (Never let the officer tell you that you gas need for oil is a way to scam tourists $ 150 million ...)

A Eurail pass is a great investment to rebound country, but it is the first class ticket, for trains can get very crowded. Sleepers are fun.
Forget one way flights.
Round trips are $ 950 - $ 1600
but the means are approximately $ 3,000 per trip.
You may want to look at "mail" Journey. Shippers offer cheap fares how to travel with their cargo (Do not worry-you sit with passengers), but the travel schedule is the sender. It is a great way to save a bundle if you have lots of flexibility.
You may be able to purchase an "Open Jaw" ticket, where you can fly into one city and return home to another. They are very restrictive, and you must travel on the same airline (or airline partner)
Travel "between Europe" by the leak can also be brutal, but there are some cheapie airlines travel between certain cities high.
You must decide what you want to see / do while in Europe, to determine which option is best for you. Once you know where and when you should be somewhere you can search for fares and the best option for your travel itinerary.
Depending on where in the world where you come, you'll find that driving in Europe can be very lively. Depending on the country. I would not go anywhere in Italy, if my life depended on it, and I would not be less than 100 km from Paris.
You might be safer on the train, as the case in Europe, you're away.
Amsterdam is beautiful and they speak perfect English there. European trains are fabulous - efficient, time etc. etc. If you come to the United Kingdom rent a car - the trains are terrible.
Do not miss Florence, Prague, Barcelona.
Most prefer Eurail train is usually faster than the car in Europe and you can cover more ground. With an overnight train takes you from Amsterdam to Vienna say about Copenhagen or Prague.
The only thing you lose with the train are the most beautiful sites in cities like the incredible Monte Castillo (former meal there), trenches fighting Normandy, wine trail in the valley of the Moselle, etc.. which are all within 3 hours from Amsterdam.
Save money by taking a return to redouble Amsterdam is not a problem as you.
