Countrysections
explain what types of tourist rail passes are accepted, specify
what kinds of bonuses are available, and provide specific information about rail
travel within that country. These sections also list each country's tourist information
office locations in North America, their telephone/fax numbers, and, where applic-
able, websites and e-mail addresses.
Some base cities have a single train station; others have multiple stations. Under
train station descriptions are the subsections concerning
• Exchanging money and using ATMs
• Locating tourist information
• Locating and using luggage facilities
• Securing hotel accommodations
• Obtaining train information and reservations
• Obtaining rail pass validation
Base city
tourist information offices
and
hotel reservation information
are
listed with addresses, telephone and fax numbers, websites and e-mail addresses
(if available), hours of operation, and, of utmost importance, how to reach those
offices from the rail station.
Connections from each base city to others are listed at the end of each base city
section. Not all base cities can be reached from another in the same day, although
most can.
A
sightseeing, attractions,
and
special tour
information section for each base
city provides a general introduction to what to see and do and how to do it.
Dayexcursions
begin with the distance and average train time and include train
schedules to/from the base city. Trains departing a base city are usually in the
morning, and trains returning from the day excursions are usually in the late after-
noon or early evening.
A brief history and highlights of each day excursion enable you to decide which
ones are of the most interest. Then,
Europe by Eurail
again provides step-by-step
directions on how to get from the rail station to the tourist information offices and
to the various day-excursion sights and attractions.
