    I must call upon your expert advice once more! I am having difficulty determining the best combination of passes to obtain for my holiday in August. My “FINAL” itinerary will require the following:

    Travel within Frankfurt, Germany will be:

    1) from the airport to the hotel/some daily inner-city transportation which look to be covered with either a Frankfurt 1 or 2 day travel card available or/VGF daily fares

    2) At least one – possibly 2 days of travel to sights outside of Frankfurt (ie Heidelberg),

    3) Train travel from Frankfurt to Lucerne.

    Once in Lucerne, day trips will include:

    1) Boat trip to Vitznau, then train/cable car

    2) Train ride/cable car to Mount Titlis.

    We will then have to travel by train from Lucerne to Zurich.

    So we will have a combination of travel needs which will require a combination of trains/cable cars/boat within both countries AND from one country to the other.

    Will I need to purchase a Eurail pass AND one of the Swiss travel passes? Your thoughts?
