TRavel from AMS to Florence
Question:
I bought a cheap ticket from Charlotte to Amsterdam; however, once in Europe, I need to get to Florence. What’s the cheapest way to get there? I don’t feel I need a railpass, although for students they’re not too bad in price. ANyone know of a place I can get tix cheaper than the eurorail site? THANKS, Bob

Buying a ticket at the airport train station in Amsterdam would be cheaper than the Eurail site. Easier too. Or you could take a bus (e.g., www.eurolines.nl). Or fly (www.aerfares.net). miguel — Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu Latest addition: 80 photos from Guatemala

My suggestion – one out of many – take EasyJet from Amsterdam to Nice and then continue by train from Nice via Genoa and Pisa to Florence. Italian rail fares are much cheaper than in North European countries. Cheers, Richard H. -Posted by Ozum (http://ozinsight.com/) -All-in-one yEnc newsreader, scanner and freeware autoposter.

Look into the KLM special fares city to city. The international train is very likely to be more expensive. Bus (coach) fares will be cheaper and take longer, but it is likely you won’t find a direct line.

I’ll second that. AMS-Florence is a hell of a schlep by train – 18 hours or so. There are direct trains from Paris Bercy (Amsterdam to Paris is reasonably straightforward, either direct on the Thalys or regular train to Brussels and Thalys from there). Meridiana (www.meridiana.it/english) offer fares from EUR18 (USD18) plus tax from AMS to FLR. Worth checking their website for your dates. Peter
