Europe is probably the most popular place in the world for train travel. It has many diverse, relatively small countries, all connected by rail. Many of these countries can be visited on one fare. And now many countries in Eastern Europe, for a long time off limits to Westerners, can now be included in any European railroad trip.
The diversity of train travel in Europe is almost unlimited. You can travel from the balmy waters of the Mediterranean in Greece, Southern France and Italy through the impressive peaks of the Alps, all the way up to Scandanavia and the Arctic Circle. There are many different kinds of train tickets and passes available, to suit every need. There are special rates for students.
