Great rail holidays in Europe
Great Rail Europe was established to make finding sophisticated European rail travel easier. From short breaks in the dramatic Yorkshire Moors, to the archaeological digs of Pompeii in southern Italy, whether you are looking for relaxation, shopping, or adventure by rail, Europe is the most magnificent continent on Earth. At Great Rail Europe we have spent a lifetime learning about the countries of Europe and they still manage to surprise us, with landscapes that range from the black desert of Iceland, to the primeval forests of Belarus and cultures that stretch from the indigenous peoples of Lapland, to the trendy cities of Italy.

Great Rail Europe - Rail holidays
When watching the gradual change in scenery as the continent slides past your window, remember that for every thousand miles travelled on Europe rail holidays, rail engineers have produced two thousand miles of steel tracks and many more thousands of miles of sleepers. The industrial past of countries like Germany, Great Britain and Switzerland is responsible for many magnificent sights and for bringing people and ideas closer together. Great Rail Europe believes there is no more elegant way to travel than by rail, Europe's historical backbone. We also believe that we must balance our privileges with our responsibilities to the environment and to future generations. This is why we are proud to have achieved 4 stars by AITO for responsible tourism.
