Train Travel in Europe

You'll find that each country has their own set of trains. Some are better than others, but for the most part they're all pretty good. Some have sleeper cars, some have seats that recline, or seats that pullout, some take a long time to reach their destination and some are seriously FAST!

Knowing this you can see the importance of doing your train homework before planning a trek across Europe. Choosing the wrong train can break down even the most experienced traveler and ruin a trip due to exhaustion.
