What's inside:

  • A countdown checklist from six months out to the day you travel, so nothing slips through the cracks
  • When tickets go on sale for Eurostar, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and more, so you book at the best price
  • Rail pass or single tickets? A simple way to decide, plus what seat reservations really cost
  • How to plan connections with breathing room, and what to do if a train runs late
  • Cities with more than one main station, so you never head to the wrong one
  • Entry rules for US passport holders, including the UK's travel authorization
  • Your travel day, step by step, from the departures board to your seat
  • Train words, explained, for when the booking sites get confusing

Hi, I'm Addie

I've studied German since I was a child, spent years in German language immersion programs, and studied social anthropology for four years at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Today I'm a Fora-certified travel advisor in St. Louis, and Europe by train is my specialty.

I plan trips for the person who always ends up planning everything. This checklist will help you plan on your own, and if you'd rather hand the planning to someone else, you'll know where to find me.

Ready to start planning?
