What is the best way to get around?? I was looking at the Rail passes, but the prices are out the roof. Also where is the best places to visit while there?

Depends on your plans when you're here!
also, it'll depend on:

Not sure what your goal is, which countries and all that, but:

Amsterdam
Paris
Barcelona
Cote d'Azur including Monaco
And a sh*tload more...

Welcome to Europe!

europe is expensive as hell

you can try in central/eastern Europe - prices for everything should be lower and we have here a lot of nice places to see

Did you try with http://www.interrail.net/ ?

So.. while you are here, you should defintely visit:

Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Rome

Then if you have time.. Hamburg, Munich, Viena, Prague, Athens... many things, huh?

Once in Europe you can also fly with www.ryanair.com its quite cheap..

PRAGUE... hot hot women??

Partshelper

that is a great price, alot cheaper then the other rail systems

deibit

yeah, but be careful because some restrictions apply for those tickets (like you need to have the residence in europe for example.. etc etc..) but well.. im sure there are tricks to avoid that

And yeah.. Czech girls are hot...

But for girls I would recommend you Barcelona...

ps- for non-eu residents theres the Europass: http://www.raileurope.com/us/rail/pa...pass_index.htm but i guess it will be more expensive

Hi there , hope you'll like Europe !

Definitely Paris (i was born there so can't help hook up with the french s2kclub at s2000.fr ), Rome / Venice / Florence in Italy (lived in Italy, absolutely beautyfull, hook up with the Italian s2kclub at www.s2kclub.it), Barcelona, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Prague ...etc...

In France the TGV train isn't the cheapest but it brings you from A to B at up to 200mph cruise speed .... worth the try if you never had the opportunity plus for example it rides from Paris to Amsterdam in 4h, Paris to Marseilles (Mediterranean see) in 3 H ...

Also Eurostar train from Paris to London is real fast, city center to city center.

Try also RyanAir and Transavia, they can offer quite cheap flights across Europe. They generally don't use the main airports but it's where they get there low fares. No Idea if there is any residency-bound obligation though...

Above all enjoy your trip !

Ryanair is generally regarded as crap. They advertise flights as being from one place but they're actually from another airport quite a long distance away, and there are lots of hidden charges. If you go in with the knowledge that they're trying to rip you off at every turn it can work out OK.

EasyJet are much better. There are some hidden charges too but they tend to be a bit more transparent than Ryanair, and generally they use more convenient airports.

If you do need to be a European resident for anything, I'm sure that that's an easy problem to resolve
