Rail Europe: A Review
Having a car is completely unnecessary when traveling around Europe. Pretty much all of the cities are connected via rail all over Europe. It can be very confusing though to know what type of rail passes you might need when traveling.I tried looking into and researching rail passes before we went and I couldn’t really make heads or tails of all the different types of passes out there. That’s when I found Rail Europe. Through their website you can look into rail passes and train tickets. They also have a plethora of articles regarding rail travel through Europe answering a lot of questions you might have.
You can book your tickets through them two different ways. You can call one of their travel agents who will discuss your trip with you and find the best passes for your particular trip. Or if you already know which passes you need you can go directly online and book your own tickets. There is a service fee if you book through the travel agent, but it is really an excellent way to figure out what you need if you’re unfamiliar with rail travel. They also mail the physical tickets to you, we received ours within three days of placing our order.
If you’re planning a European vacation in the future I would highly suggest using RailEurope for booking your train tickets. Their travel agents are highly knowledgeable and have often traveled on the routes they are suggesting to you. You won’t regret using them for your European train tickets!
I thought I would give you guys a little review about our experience with Air B&B. Don't worry, there will be more in-depth posts later this month about our entire trip complete with photos!If you’re not familiar with Air B&B it is a way to book rooms or houses when you are traveling. It is an alternative to hotels and hostels. It is almost like couch surfing, but you get your own private room or home and there are typically excellent reviews on the website that help you decide where to stay. Most hosts will also include breakfast in the price of your stay too.We stayed in three different Air B&B’s when we were in Europe.
