Train & ferry information for Europe & worldwide...

Train travel is a more rewarding, low-stress alternative to flying, which brings us closer to the countries we visit and reduces our contribution to climate change.  It's time to rediscover the pleasure, romance & adventure of travel by train or ship.  This site explains how to travel comfortably & affordably by train or ferry where you might think air was now the only option.  For help with train travel, ask the Man in Seat 61!
