Book Description

Europe By Eurail, 2001 December 1, 2000
There is no better way to see Europe than by train, and there is no better guide to the European train system than Europe by Eurail. For twenty-five years, travelers using a Eurail pass have made this book their bible. Twenty-four base cities in seventeen countries serve as your starting points. Once settled in, you can take day excursions to outlying points of interest using your Eurail pass.

Europe by Eurail is the only book on the market that features fully updated information on fares, schedules, and pass options, a reader friendly format, personally researched day excursions that take you throughout Europe, practical travel tips on keeping costs down, traveling light, conquering jet lag, exchanging currency, dealing with language differences, enhanced maps, new information on traveling between base cities, the latest information on the Chunnel and other Channel crossings.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

A Eurailpass in the hand is better than anything in the bush; it's a key to Europe, a fare-thee-well to transportation hassles, a ticket to spontaneous travel and the pleasures of the rail. For each of 17 countries, the authors provide particulars on banks, currency, telephone codes, and regional rail systems and passes. But the real heart of the guide lies in the base city planning. Take Finland. They tell all you need to arrive in Helsinki by air, train, or ship, how to get around the city, what day excursions are worthwhile and why (for Helsinki, that's Hanko, Lahti, Tampere, and Turku), and train schedules for each. Train connections are provided between base cities and countries, as well. It's a handy way to organize your trip, and their useful guide makes it work. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars completely useless, August 26, 2001
By 
enea ceku (lynn, ma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Europe by Eurail 2001: How to Tour Europe by Train (Paperback)
you probably just bought a Eurail pass and are looking for more info how to coordinate your european vacation as far as rail traveling goes. stick to your pass and a basic guide. you do not need this. the timetables are completely off. not one even matched. european train stations are so organized and easy to follow that you don't need a guide to tell you where to find an atm machine, an exchange office or a travel agency. as soon as you step out of the trains you'll clearly see signs directing you to the right places. i never thought it would be so useless, esp. if you are doing a backpacking trip. those day excursions that are sudgested from the "base" cities only direct you to tourist traps. i would avoid buying this book if i had the choice again. stick with a Lonely Planet guide. in my opinion the only publisher that tells like it is. Lonely Planet's Europe on a Shoestring or Let's Go Europe give you most of the info that is provided in this book and way more on top of it. stick to your pass and the timetable that they give you with it. you don't need this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent planning book for experiencing Europe, November 9, 1999
This review is from: Europe by Eurail 1999 (Paperback)
Without pretending to be a universal guide, this book enables you to plan long and short trips to Europe using the Eurail system and making convenient stays in major cities to use as bases for traveling to sites around the cities. If you want an experience of European cities, and want to cover other places inexpensively, this book will help you plan the days. We found it precise and well thought out, and with a good sense of what is a worthwhile experience for the traveler, and excellent judgement about timing train connections and some bus and boat connections for maximum enjoyment. It provides a strong base on which to add your own adventures and additional attractions, once you have gotten to the cities and other sites. And it will take you step by step through some marvelous days if you just want to follow its lead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good - - not great, March 27, 2000
By 
Europe by Eurail 2000 is a great book to have handy while travelling the railways of Europe! It offers great tips and advice for anyone travelling. However, I would suggest that you simply stick with the book's big brother....Let's Go Europe 2000. They offer much of the same advice that you will find invaluable!
