Welcome
Welcome, once again, to our selection of European tours, designed by our small but expert team to tour
Europe the Railtrail way.
As you turn the following pages you will find tour ideas to some of our favourite places that simply don’t
exist anywhere else. What’s more, touring Europe by rail is becoming more expensive now that the Pound
is a little weaker, so we have designed each tour to be high in content and the best possible value for
money. Excursions are included on most days and every tour in this brochure includes at least breakfast
and dinner every day of your stay at our hotels.
Railtrail’s European tours are fast gaining popularity, so we’ve been hard at work developing new ones
to complement the tried and tested. So if you fancy a
steam and rail packed sojourn in Saxony
or the
contrasts of
German Coastal Steam & Berlin’s Garden Show
, a
Swiss mountain adventure with five great
railway experiences on one tour
or the sun-kissed landscapes of the
French Riviera
or
Catalonia
, we’ve
got just the tour for you. And following our first popular ‘Grand Tour by Rail’ in 2016 from Land’s End to
John O’Groats, we’ve provided more choice for 2017. How about a ‘
Grand Tour
of Poland
’ including Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow, three heritage railways and the
Berlin Garden Show? Or even a
unique adventure around Norway
, featuring
Oslo, Bergen, the Bergen Railway, the Flåm Railway, a funicular, a cable car,
three heritage railways and a sensory adventure along serene fjords.
Enjoy reading and hopefully see you at St Pancras.
