TRAINS - the best way to book trains in Europe is to book direct from the local train station or on-line (Rail Europe). It is usually best to book direct with the rail network of the country you are in. Trains are crap in the UK but in most of continental Europe they are really good and can be reasonably inexpensive. Touring Europe by train can work well if you have limited equipment - you can get cabs, arrange for the promoter to meet you etc.
