Whether you are making a long grand tour or just planning a couple of weekend breaks, Europe by Rail is the perfect guide. The book describes 50 key routes in detail. Together, they span mainland Europe and the British Isles. Each route can be followed in its entirety or used as a building block in a longer itinerary.

With its nicely opinionated style and lots of cameo accounts of travel history, there's plenty here for armchair travellers too. Now in its 17th edition, Europe by Rail really is the definitive guide on how to get the very best out of Europe’s excellent rail network.
