"From train enthusiasts wishing to make a dream come true to the tourist looking for a relaxing getaway, Europe by Eurail is the book to have." --Navy Times (Praise for a previous edition)

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. Twenty-four base cities in seventeen countries serve as your starting points. Then, with your rail pass in hand, you can explore each country's special attractions and learn about European life and culture. The hassle-free day excursions outlined in this reader-friendly guide have made it the Eurailer's bible for nearly thirty years.

4.0 out of 5 stars
My mistake,

This review is from: Europe by Eurail 2004, 28th: Touring Europe by Train (Paperback)
I suppose it's not entirely fair to rate a book in part on one's own misperceptions, but, I'm going to anyways. When I initially bought this book I thought it was going to be a comprehensive analysis of traveling Europe by Eurail (I was preparing for a 20 day whirlwind trip with my brother at the time). What the book provides is information about good hubs from which one can make multiple day trips using the Eurail system. It also contains some good information about the locales, contact information for local tourism offices and (in my experience) very accurate time tables. Had I known what I was getting (stupid me) I'd be rating this book five stars. As it was, the book helped our trip out immensely and even convinced us to go to a few countries we weren't even planning on (with zero regrets).
