- take the eurostar, it travels through several countries in europe =)
- These are the best websites. It is really easy to travel by train there, you will have tons of fun!!! www.raileurope.com www.eurostar.com Have fun!
- The eurostar is a fast 2.5 hour train from London to Paris, but it costs at least $94. one way. You can look for a cheap flight with ryanair or easyjet to France or Italy, and buy a 3 country selectpass on eurail.com or raileurope.com for the trains in Fr,Sp,It. If under 26 you can get youth pass and if traveling with a friend it's even cheaper with saver passes.
- Best way to start is by buying a ticket!
- Depending on where you're actually from, i'm guessing UK - there are certain deals for students, railcards etc.. Look into them. Book your seats at least a couple of days ahead, unless you feel like standing for five hours. umm.. have fun. Lucky bastards. =P Some sites http://www.backpackingeurope.com/ http://www.gapyear.com http://www.eurail.com/ Blah, i'm sure you've seen them all. Google is your friend.
- If you want to work out your travel schedule, here are some links to national railway sites, the French site is also very good for border crossing journeys: England: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ France: http://www.voyages-sncf.com/dynamic/_SvHomePage?_DLG=SvHomePage&_CMD=cmdHomepageUK&WB=HP&rfrr=4685ac17fd2e7656e4918c53b246a3f7 Spain: http://horarios.renfe.es/hir/ingles.html Italy: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html
- u can buy rail tickets online with several different options, ie. 3 countries within 15 days, all of europe in 3 months etc etc... good luck and have fun
