It is often cheaper to travel within Europe by booking directly with the European discount airlines and by purchasing rail tickets directly from the railways that serve your destination. You will likely pay more when using U.S. booking agents like Eurail or when booking multi-citi flights through U.S. airlines, but the advantage is you can avoid the uncertainty and possible language barriers when purchasing tickets overseas. Here are some resources to help you decide which approach you prefer.
