Is an Eurail pass worth it?

Usually, no. Unless you are planning to take a train every single day, buying individual point-to-point tickets on official rail websites like Trenitalia or SNCF is cheaper and guarantees you a seat.

How do we handle money?

Use a debit card with no foreign transaction fees to withdraw local currency from bank-affiliated ATMs. Avoid currency exchange kiosks at airports at all costs.

Planning a Stress-Free European Honeymoon

Limit your trip to two or three base cities to avoid spending your honeymoon in transit. Use high-speed trains between major hubs and book your inter-city travel at least 60 days in advance to secure fixed-price seats.

Pick two major hubs max. Avoid 'country hopping.' Pick two regions (e.g., Northern Italy and the French Riviera) and stay in each for at least 4 nights. You want to unpack once, not every 24 hours.
Prioritize direct logistics. Look for flight itineraries that land in one city and depart from another (multi-city booking). This saves you from having to backtrack to your original airport.
Use rail over flights. For travel under 5 hours, take the train. It drops you in the city center and avoids the 3-hour pre-flight airport arrival requirement.
Schedule 'white space'. Commit to only one major activity per day. Leave the afternoon open for wandering, coffee, or naps. A packed schedule is the fastest way to start an argument.
