Trains in Europe

by Beausoleil

Depending on where you live, you may fly to Europe. Once there, you have many choices. We usually lease a car unless we're only visiting cities. If you don't want to drive in Europe, there is a fabulous train system and although the prices differ from country to country, it is an excellent way to get around. Most train stations are in the historic centers of the towns so you can walk anyplace you want to go. If the train station (usually the newer TGV fast trains) is outside town, there will be a shuttle service. It's meant to be convenient.Each country has its own train web site so I'll list several. If you only speak English, the German site at the top of the list is the easiest to use.Germany http://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtmlFrance http://www.voyages-sncf.com/ (site in French only)Italy http://www.trenitalia.com/homepage_en.htmlSwitzerland...

Renting cars to see the UK and Europe

by angiebabe

Hi, Yes the best way really is just that to rent 2 separate rentals ie London Heathrow and then from Paris - Ive rented cars around the UK and Europe for the 11 years Ive been here in London - I found that was the best way when I arrived here as a tourist ie 28 days rental in the UK and then train to Paris and got one there for 4 days - same when I took 2 girlfriends from here around Europe the best was still to eurostar over, show them a day or 2 in Paris and then picked up our car and did things such as Versaille and Monets garden and took off for 3 weeks with a car and then flew back - you can get good deals with www.eurostar.com the earlier you book - then I used to find my best deals for cars between avis (booking from here via Australia as their prices were cheaper but now these other companies far outstrip the prices of booking with the big companies directly - these companies I...

European Railways the best in the world

by Maryimelda

I find the train system in Western and Central Europe is exemplary. If you miss a train, there will be another one along before you know it. You can travel in the luxury of the First Class fast trains such as Thallys, TGV, ICE, Eurostar etc or you can hop on and off the regional trains with no reservations as you wish. There are many bargains to be had if you want book in advance or if you want to be more flexible in your movements, you can simply turn up and buy a ticket five minutes before a train departs. It is rare (except for night trains) for any of the trains to be full and with the trains that do not have compulsory reservations, if you can't find a seat, you simply stand up until one becomes available.Most good discounts come on sale online approx 89-90 days ahead. Get in quick as they sell out fast.There are also many local deals in different countries such as the Laender...

RYANAIR uses a special map of Europe

by globetrott

Be aware that Ryanair uses quite a "flexible map" of Europe and when you read airport Frankfurt/Hahn there you can be sure it is in a long distance from the popular airport Frankfurt am Main. Same thing applies for their flights to Munich, Stockholm and all other major cities in Europe.a good example is this: Airport Frankfurt HAHN is 116km from Frankfurt/Main!!!The Airport Frankfurt Hahn might cause a lot of dangerous confusion, because you might expect it to be at least close to Frankfurt am Main. In fact it is in a distance of 116 km and driving from one to the other might take 2-3 hours depending on the way of transportation and the trafic-situation because you will go over highways and country-roads !But at least Frankfurt/Hahn is the BEST airport for travels in the Mosel-valley and partly also the Rhine-valley (For Trier, Bernkastel and Koblenz this airport is great!!)The counters...

Buying train tickets in Switzerland & France

by ManInSeat61

1. Swiss domestic tickets are fixed-price, and no reservation is require. So you may as well buy at the station.2. Lyria TGV Basel/Bern/Lausanne to Paris high-speed trains are priced a bit like airlines. Fares start at around 29 euros one-way if you pre-book, rising to around 100 euros on the day fora full-price flexible ticket. So book ahead, booking opens 90 days before departure, and I'd book Interlaken to Paris at www.sbb.ch, with self-print tickets, no booking fees or postage to pay, what you see is what you pay.3. French train tickets, and international tickets starting in France, can be booked at Eurpean prices with zero booking fees in English at www.tgv-europe.com. HOWEVER, if you select 'United States' on tgv-europe.com, your search results will be opened on the US Rail Europe site, www.raileurope.com, with higher prices and fees, so DON'T select 'United States', select...

GERMANY: check about the "Umweltzone"

by globetrott

This is quite a new rule, when you are driving into the centre of lots of towns in Germany, and this rule applies to foreign cars as well:In order to be allowed to drive into the very centre of many towns in Germany you need to have a sticker attached behind your windscreen and it is called "Umweltplakette". And this sticker will show the authorities, what kind of engine your car is using and how "clean" its emissions are. According to your engine you will get a green, yellow or red sticker and like in a traficlight there will be days of strange weather-situations and a lot of smog and only cars with a green sticker might go there at all and others have to stay away & outside of these zones.In some cases you can order the sticker online in my link below, in other cases you have to show up at DEKRA, TÜV or other technical institutions, but they will NOT care to take a look into your car,...

NORWAY: The Hurtigruten cruises along the coast

by globetrott

Hurtigruten is the best way to explore the coast of Norway. Hurtigruten is the name of the postal-ships taking you along the norwegian coast from Bergen to Kirkenes and back again to Bergen. Every day of the year one of their ships are starting a new cruise in Kirkenes and Bergen on a fixed schedule and within 11 days you will be back in bergen again. The Hurtigruten are NOT a real cruise and in most ports you will stay for just about 30-60 minutes in the port, but in Honnigsvag, Hammerfest. Bergen, Trondheim, Tromsoe and Kirkenes the ships stay in port for a longer time, see the details below in their webpage! The ship will open the gangway for passengers to go ashore and they will also start to unload and load all sorts of goods, cars, different articles from small boxes to giant machineries. In case that you like to see more of the places closeby, you have to book one of their...

Rivercruises on the river Rhine

by globetrott

Take a cruise on the river Rhine, there are ships for day-excursions and there are hotelships as well between Basel (Switzerland) and Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Some ships will also cruise the river Mosel from Koblenz to Bernkastel.Some things that you should know:From Basel to Starsbourg you will only go through a flat landscape, in an artificial canal with only trees to be seen on both sides.From Strasbourg till Ruedesheim the landscape is not much better: almost no mountains, just flat landscape & some villages.From Ruedesheim to Köln / Cologne is certainly the best part of the river with lots of mountains, castles and halftimbered houses along the shores of the river Rhine.And in this part of the Rhinevalley you will also find a large variety of day-cruises, NO need to book a long time in advance, do it on a sunny day, just take the ships thats it, mostly no reservations required !After...

Rivercruises in Russia

by globetrott

I have made 2 rivercruises in Russia:1) from Perm to Moscow:As far as I know this quite rare cruise-itinerary will be offered only by the ship M/V Furmanov and only 2 times each year : once in spring from Perm to Moscow and thats also the very first cruise of this ship after the winter-break. At the end of the summerseason the 2nd such cruise will be offered in late october from Moscow to Perm. Both of these cruises are sold at the german cruise-market only and german also was the only language onboard.Along that route you will see some places that you will hardly ever be able to see another way:Perm - Yelabuga - Nizhnekamsk - Kazan - Votkinsk - Cheboksary - Ples - GorodetsI had a small single cabin onboard of the cruise-ship M/S Furmanov, a 3-star ship.The price for this singlecabin was 2400 euros for the cruise from Perm to Moscow, including flights from Vienna and lots of...
