All the major city train connections in Europe covered by the Eurail Pass are captured in the Eurail map. However, note that Eurail Pass coverage is not limited to this, and so many more regional train connections are also covered, making the pass ideal not just for city-to-city travel but also within cities and suburban areas. The map also displays the average travel time between the cities, thereby letting you plan your itinerary more efficiently.
Practical tip: Use the map to decide the number of connections you will make. Then check the price for individual tickets, and compare it with the Eurail Pass price to see if it is a budget fit. However, note that the pass also grants great freedom to your plans, unlike point-to-point tickets that tie you to a particular train.

It is flexible; meaning you can make a spontaneous plan and hop on any train by simply adding that journey onto your pass (given seat reservations are not mandatory).
