What is the difference between the consecutive-day pass and the flexipass?
A consecutive-day pass provides unlimited rail travel for the duration of the pass, once it has been validated.
The flexipass gives the pass-holder a 2 monthperiod from the validation date to utilize the number of days they have purchased for their pass. (Ex: the 5 day flexipass allows 5 days of travel in a 2 month period, The 8 day flexipass allows 8 days of travel in a 2 month period, etc.)

Train Tip
For safety, keep all of your important documents (passport, railpass, traveler's checks) in a moneybelt worn underneath your clothing. When sleeping on a train, use your daypack as your pillow. This will prevent anyone from snatching it while you sleep. Also, Xerox all important documents such as your passport, identification cards, insurance cards, and railpass. Keep the copies in a separate, safe place. Watch out for groups of children or adults creating a commotion meant to distract tourists for easy pickpocketing.
