More about Berlin
Berlin, Germany's capital, is a city shaped by history and reinvention. Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Europe's largest crossing station, opened in 2006 and serves as a major hub for ICE high-speed trains connecting to Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, and beyond, as well as international services to Prague, Warsaw, Amsterdam, and Vienna. The station's dramatic glass-and-steel architecture sets the tone for a city that constantly reimagines itself.

Before you book: stations, trains and food
How a rail pass fits this trip
This outline has 5 days with travel or an excursion: day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5. That is a planning count, not a confirmed number of pass days. Optional excursions, uncovered transport and night-train departure times can change it.
A pass travel day can cover several participating trains. Compare the pass plus reservation fees with individual tickets for the dates you actually travel.
When to compare a Global Pass
A multi-country route is a useful starting point for comparing an Interrail or Eurail Global Pass. Check participating operators and your country of residence; Interrail’s home-country use is limited to an outbound and an inbound journey.
When individual tickets can help
Price the shorter hops separately. A cheap ticket can let you save a flexible pass day for a longer journey. Compare Sam’s tickets with Trainline and Omio, including their fees and refund conditions.
Graz now has direct international rail links with Berlin, Budapest, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Florence, Frankfurt, Krakow, Ljubljana, Munich, Prague, Rome, Trieste, Venice, Zagreb and Zurich

Your route. Sam handles the details.
Conductor Sam is an agent for European rail. You name the places
you want to see; it works out the legs, the changes and the
awkward gaps, then prices the tickets against a pass.

Written from a corpus we curate
The notes on each stop come from a rail knowledge base we research and maintain ourselves, so Sam answers from it rather than searching the web for you.
