Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Hopping a train isn't as simple as it once was. What with Eurail, regional, and national passes, Flexipass, Saverpass, and Europass arrangements, plus complications of timing and connections, you need a European relative who knows it all and has a few weeks to spare, or better yet, a comprehensive guidebook. It'll smooth the travel edges as well as your cousin the expert, but won't retell the story of Aunt Corinna and the tomato truck till you scream. Jay Brunhouse's book has everything you need--itinerary suggestions, train and line descriptions, and tips for greater efficiency and economy--for travel from Iberia to Slovakia, Scotland to Greece. Reservations, boarding, sleeper trains--they're all covered. Confused about Eurostar, Nightstar, and Le Shuttle? Brunhouse spells it out so you know which to choose and what to expect. With everything worked out in advance, you can relax and enjoy the pure pleasure of train travel without distraction.
