My last Eurotrip post! (A relief for some of you who are tired of it already, but sad for others who still dream of traveling.)Part of what makes visiting cities exciting is finding your way around.
Barcelona T-10 (10 trips, zona 1), €6,90
(note: the comma takes the place of the decimal point)
As the city is large and our hostel was not in the center, we really needed this. The Metro can be a headache because the tunnels are sometimes unbelievably long, practically like walking to the next station. Buses are ok.
Paris carnet (10 tickets, Billet Ile-de-France), €11,10
I think printing out 10 tiny tickets is still a waste of paper and adds to the litter, but the nice part about it is that you can split up the tickets. The metro system is compact, the RER (train) goes farther, the buses are routes served us well.
Berlin tageskarte (day ticket, zone AB), €6,10
Expensive for one day, but unlimited rides on buses, trains (S-bahn and Underground), trams and ferries eliminate the need for those tourist hop-on, hop-off buses.
Amsterdam strippen kaart (15 strips), €6,80
Weird system similar to the klippekort in Denmark, only a bit more complex. If you're a tourist, you don't need this, as it's much better to walk and there are not many transport links simply because there's not space! The metro will be of no use to you. Then again you might want to take the occasional tram or bus.
