APPENDIX
Rail-Tour Itineraries
Three sample rail-tour itineraries are presented in response to readers' requests for
sample itineraries combining several base cities and day excursions into a rail-tour
package. These itineraries are similar to those used in previous tour programs and
are considered “route-tested.”
The base cities and day excursions in these itineraries are described elsewhere
in this edition. Each itinerary may be completed with a 15-day Eurail Global Pass/
Global Pass Saver or a 15-days-in-two-months Eurail Global Pass Flexi/Global
Pass Saver Flexi.
Gateway cities are an important pretrip consideration. We have included airport
information in base-city descriptions for your assistance. When suggested gateways
are cities other than the rail-tour base cities, we have included rail schedules to as-
sist in your planning, but as stated previously in this edition, our rail schedules are
for planning purposes only.
Europe by Eurail
and its publisher cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of either schedule or train changes occurring after
press time or for inadvertent inaccuracies.
The following rail-tour schedules have been compiled on the basis of what we
consider to be the best trains running at the best times; however, in almost every
case, there are several other trains departing at other times that may be more con-
venient for your purposes. For this reason you may want to consult other schedules
by contacting one of the companies listed in the Appendix.
Hotels suggested for the itineraries have been selected for their convenient loc-
ations near the railway stations and/or close to public transportation. Hotel price
ranges are quoted in euros or local currencies for planning purposes only and are
subject to change without prior notice. To convert the rates to U.S. dollars, consult
the Foreign Exchange listing in the financial section of your hometown newspaper,
contact your bank, or visit
www.oanda.com
and go to the cheat sheet for travelers
page (you can print the rates for the countries on your itinerary and carry them with
your other travel papers); another great site is
www.xe.com/ucc/
for universal cur-
rency exchanges.
