Europe by Eurail 2013

the long version

"Europe by Eurail has been the train traveler's one-stop source for visiting Europe's cities and countries by rail for more than thirty years. This comprehensive guide, newly revised and updated, provides the latest information on fares, schedules, and pass options, as well as detailed information on more than one hundred specific rail excursions. Trips start from one of twenty-eight base cities on the Continent--including Vienna, Nice, and Milan--and contain all the details necessary to visit historic cities, romantic villages, and scenic hamlets. Three sample rail-tour itineraries combine several base cities and day excursions into fifteen-day rail-tour packages, complete with hotel recommendations and sightseeing options. Packed with practical information, step-by-step directions, and advice on where to go and what to see and do, and complemented by the inclusion of twenty-one maps, this book takes the puzzle out of European rail travel."--Amazon.com.
