This itinerary is recommended by the editors of hidden europe, a print publication which celebrates European lives and landscapes. Many hidden europe readers are devotees of slow travel, taking time to make the most of a journey. It’s perfectly possible to speed from Brussels to Prague in a day, but here’s an alternative: a four-day dawdle across Europe that takes in the Ardennes region of eastern Belgium, the Moselle Valley and the Rhine Gorge, plus the hill country of Bohemia. Enjoy a feast of fine scenery on this rail trip.
This four-day itinerary is a favourite with readers of hidden europe, a print publication exploring cultures and communities across Europe. Most travellers heading to Munich from Paris just take the fast train. But take a look at this wonderful alternative rail route which loops south through Switzerland. We’ve chosen three smaller communities for the overnight stays, one in France’s Burgundy wine region, the second on the shores of Lake Geneva and the last in a remote valley in the Swiss Alps. Your journey includes a good part of the Glacier Express route through Switzerland and the famous Arlberg Railway through the Austrian Tyrol. Take time to taste Burgundy wines in Beaune, and enjoy a late afternoon boat trip on Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Few rail journeys pack in so much fine scenery. The journey on the final day even follows the only railway across the Principality of Liechtenstein.
Just look at this one-week tour which has been designed for us by the editors of hidden europe, a publication which surely rates as Europe’s quirkiest travel mag. The All Aboard brief to hidden europe was simple: choose a clutch of fine mid-sized Italian cities, ideally ones which don’t have quite the crowds you find in Milan, Florence or Venice. They came up with Mantua, Siena, Assisi, Ferrara and Vicenza, so there’s a Renaissance theme to this Italian adventure which starts in Turin and ends in Bergamo. You may want to extend this tour by spending two or even three nights in some of these cities. Quite a bit of the rail travel is on local trains, so this really is a chance to put your slow travel principles into practice.

An adventurous itinerary for anyone wanting to make the most of a one-country Interrail pass for Britain (or, for that matter, a Britrail pass). The starting point can be anywhere on the continent. We've chosen Amsterdam. That is best ticketed with a regular point-to-point ticket, which you can buy on All Aboard. Then enjoy two weeks roaming the rails of Britain. Our British tour takes in fine cathedral cities like Durham, Lincoln and Chester. There are stops in the hills, like Appleby in the Pennines and Aviemore in the Cairngorms. We stop off in smaller communities like Axminster and Arundel. We showcase fine rail routes, such as the celebrated Settle & Carlisle line, the Highland Main Line from Inverness down to Perth, the Tyne Valley route that runs east from Carlisle and the beautiful Heart of Wales railway from Shrewsbury to Llanelli. Enjoy this rail extravaganza. It's a longish route, but never too hurried. You can always make it even more leisurely by making some stops two nights rather than just a single night.
Exploring the culture and architecture of northern Europe covering Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic and France.
We were two people that went to Barcelona with train back and forth January–February 2020 to visit some friends. We only had about 8 days off and spent 4 days traveling and 4 days in Barcelona.
One of my all time favorite trips: Stockholm to San Sebastian, with a couple of days in Hamburg, Paris and Barcelona on the way. Overall fast and comfortable train rides with beautiful views. The final destination, San Sebastian, offers possibly the best food in all of Europe.
This is an approximation of the trip me and my wife did. It was an amazing trip! The highlights was boarding the wrong train in Lyon, which led us to meeting a nice woman who took us home to her place and helped us get back where we were supposed to go. Bruges was a fantastic experience as well.
We visited Lake Garda for three nights between Milan and Venice, taking the ferry to several towns around Lake Garda. Bled was a wonderful day trip from Ljubljana. Check out a modern puppet show at the Ljubljana castle for a wacky experience! We hopped along coastal towns in Croatia, ending up in Dubrovnik before flying back to Sweden.
Great variation of landscapes, architecture and food. Enjoy the architecture in Cataluña, pintxos in the Basque Country, the Reina Sofia museum of Madrid and the beautiful scenery in Andalucía.
With base in Hamburg, we'll go clubbing in Leipzig. After that, we'll be all about European politics in Brussels. One night in the amazingly cute Bruges before the grand party finale in Amsterdam.
I did this trip with a few friends last year and it was so much fun!
It's fascinating to see the gradient of cultures going from the center to the far east of Europe.
Discover Britain, taste some fish & chips, Scotch Whisky and climb onboard the yellow Submarine in Liverpool! Finish with a nice Belgian beer. Cheers! 🍺
