Description
Find your own journey. See Europe from the train window and let a stop along the way become part of the holiday. Lonely Planet’s Guide to Train Travel in Europe helps you consider both the direction of the journey and the practical choices involved in a trip on rails.
Experiences and content. The book covers high-speed trains in countries including France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain, scenic local routes in the UK and Scandinavia, as well as night trains and longer connections. Route maps and advice on tickets and operators provide a starting point for planning a larger itinerary, evaluating stops, and understanding differences between rail services.
Who is this book suitable for? Choose this when you want to plan the train journey itself, not just find inspiration for destinations. The edition is from 2022, so please check current timetables, connections, booking rules, and prices with operators before booking.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A trip with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience.
A physical book is also nice to return to during the planning process. Bring it out when discussing the next stage, find an idea you had noted, and let the plan develop as you become more familiar with the possibilities.
