Advice Best Ways to Get Discount Rail Tickets in Europe

[Wicked Willet]

Several years ago, I purchased Eurail tickets through Rick Steves and remember there being a discount. I'm planning another trip and wondering if anyone knows the best current ways to get discounted rail tickets in Europe. Are there specific websites, travel agencies, or tips for securing deals? Also, has anyone used any apps or loyalty programs that offer good savings? Would love to hear what's worked for others recently.

Hi there! For discounted rail tickets in Europe, booking in advance is key. Many national rail operators offer early bird discounts, so check their official websites. Also, consider using apps like Trainline or Omio, which compare prices across different operators and sometimes offer exclusive deals. Have you looked into rail passes like Interrail or Eurail? They can be cost-effective if you're planning to travel extensively. Would love to hear if you find any great deals!
