Description: Richard Arghiris writes... 'Twenty years in print has conferred the status of ‘guide-book classic’ to Katie Wood’s ‘Europe by Train’. This 2005 edition contains up-to-date and comprehensive information on all European rail networks - from Morocco to Ukraine. Organised by country, individual chapters focus on what to expect from local trains, stations and facilities. Other essential facts are divulged, including where to eat, sleep and change your money, and how to use public transport. There are also good descriptive sections to help you choose which sights to see.Specifically geared toward backpackers, ‘Europe by Train’ is packed with useful hints on more general aspects of budget travel. Detailed advice is given over to how to prepare for your trip. What to bring, which insurance to buy and how much to budget are all examined thoroughly. From tips on travelling by night to hints on tackling Eastern Europe, the author’s advice is consistently reassuring, informative and reliable. For anyone planning Inter-Rail adventures, this book is a must. Its healthy emphasis on practicality makes it the ultimate companion for any extensive train trip." |
