Re: Backpacking in Europe
Khairudin, I am almost certain that the Eurail pass for 5 days is exactly as you describe it. For BCN, sure, give us a shout when you are here and we can meet up if I am free and in town.

Re: Backpacking in Europe
There is a shop he designed for Olivetti in Piazza San Marco
@colak: great minds… I once built a fairly large-scale model of this and the magical staircase it contains for an exhibition and book (was made in limewood like the models made in renaissance times of the old basilica). BTW: San Gimignano is beautiful but one of the most heavily visited hill towns in Tuscany after Siena – nicest in the evening when the tourist buses have gone and the towers cast dramatic shadows in the evening light.
@KLS: On this page it says “Choose between 5 different pass durations: 5, 6, 8, 10 or 15 days of rail travel within any 2-month period” and “Travel days may be used consecutively or non-consecutively.” so I think you’re right. It also says that for the Select Pass Youth the countries must border one another. I would have thought that means you need to make a stopover in France to get from Italy to Barcelona but looking at their bordering countries page they list Spain and Italy as neighbours?? Dunno if that means the train doesn’t stop in France so it’s technically “not there” or whether that ‘direct connection’ is via boat (BTW: a great way to arrive in Barcelona).
Regarding train times, you can look at the pretty good German Rail site in English. You can also plug in other routes in Europe. I would say Berlin > Vienna and Vienna > Rome are 10-15 hour trips via train. Rome to Barcelona depends on the method (train/boat?) but it could just take longer than a day. Perhaps you should email Eurail to be safe.
