My fiancee and I will be going on our honeymoon in July and are travelling through Amsterdam, Paris, London & Dublin. We've arranged cheap methods of travel for everything except for the Amsterdam to Paris leg of the trip. The only VERY important thing in finding transportation is having it be affordable. I know that most places say the train is the way to go, but this is proving incredibly expensive. We only need point to point travel and the eurrail site is saying it will be $353 per person for just Amsterdam to Paris. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I don't mind spending a reasonable amount of money, it's just $656 total seems like a lot to me.

It is your honeymoon, but if you dont mind spending a little more time traveling you can save money by taking a bus. Eurolines offers the trip for 35 euros a person (about 50 dollars american). The drawback is that it takes 8 hours. You can get the tickets online or at the office in Amsterdam which is on the metro line. Have an awesome time :)

1) Take a 5 or 7 day eurail pass. It will help you for internal travel also
2) Make sure, your visa is marked or approved. Rarely you are checked on entering a country (example France) but while going back, the checking is strict
3) While using overnight trains, you will need separate reservation. for overnight travel, do not board a train without prior reservation.
4) ENJOY YOUR HONEYMOON

you're spreading your selves too skinny. try to be better effective off spending better time in fewer cities. something like London or Paris you ought to spend 5 or 6 days in on my own. do not forget that in case you opt on the louvre - it really is actual one total day proper there. per chance if a number of you extremely decide on particular cities and different decide on others you ought to flow your separate techniques and then meet up again in Paris. i ought to combine your london and amsterdam vacation as they're close. per chance the individuals on your team that decide on barcelona ought to do this at the same time as something else of you spot milan and Rome. you absolutely decide on better time for Rome to. If I were you i ought to easily p.c.. 3 or 4 cities and extremely get to understand them. per chance london, paris, Rome. Or Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona. Or Paris, London, Milan, Rome. Or Paris, Barcelona. Rome, Milan. Or London, Amsterdam. Paris and doubtless another - both an italan one or Barcelona, yet not both. imagine high quality, not volume. inspect eurorail passes. Google them. they're a thanks to flow! The trains in europe are ideas-blowing!

don't buy your eurorail tickets in the u.s. unless you are buying a multi-day pass. just go to the main train station in paris and buy a one-way ticket. i've made that trip several times and it was less than $100 per person. it's a great trip by day...lot's to look at...they also have a 'midnite' train if you wanna sleep.

Have you considered renting a car? I've made the drive several times, and there's lots to see. You should be able to drop off the car in a different city (I did).
