Europe Train Travel

We are doing a trip to Europe in May. London, Paris, Lucerne, Venice and Rome.  What is the best site to book our train travel through?  Thanks!

Re: Europe Train Travel

  • Your flights in and out of Paris you can use the SNCF website because that is France's National Train organization.

  • You could search for a place that sells the eurorail pass - it may work out cheaper than booking individual trains and give more flexibility. We just got one specifically for the UK (called the Britrail pass) as we took a lot of trains from Scotland to England and all around England too. You have to buy it in the US and then you get it validated on the first day you want to travel by train.

    For the UK only you could look at the National Rail Enquiry or the trainline web sites (for individual tickets not the rail pass):

  • Don't rule out cheap-o airlines.  If you comply with their (strict) baggage requirements it might be cheaper (and definitely quicker) than taking a train.

    RyanAir
    easyJet
    Jet2
    German Wings

    To name a few.

    There is also FlyBe from the UK.

    Remember that the cheap airlines tend to fly out of the smaller airports though, so sometimes are not as convenient to get to as the larger airlines...

    Europe really does have pretty good train systems though! I hadn't taken the train for years and really enjoyed it over the holidays when back in the UK.
