We've been traveling by train throughout Europe for over 30 years and if there was a mistake to be made, been there...done it! Think traveling by train is a no-brainer? It isn't...and that is why I finally wrote my first e-book: Sheila's Guide to European Train Travel. European trains are a marvel of efficiency with huge networks covering almost every big and little town on the continent.

Sheila's Guide to European Train Travel spells out the best tips, simply broken down, to save time, money and hassle. Which country should I visit by train? Should I combine multiple countries? Do I want a point-to-point ticket or Train Pass? What is a Train Pass? A "silence" car? Does the train personnel speak English? How will I know the track my train leaves on? Are there supplements? And much more. Traveling can, and should, be fun and easy! Don't wait until you retire...or the kids are older (they love train travel and can walk up and down the aisles without disturbing anyone)...or you have enough disposable income (who does)...or the world is a safer place...or you win the lottery (neither of the last two are going to happen)! You still can travel on a budget and visit Europe's charming towns, big cities and remote locations via train. And nothing compares with a view like this from your train window...
