During the summer, especially if you're travelling at night or a long distance, it's best
to make
reservations
whenever you can; on some trains (TGV services, for example) it's
compulsory. See our “
Extra rail charges
” for more on supplements.
For timetables,
bahn.de
is the best online resource, with comprehensive domestic and
international rail listings across Europe, while
seat61.com
is another excellent source of
information.
Finally, whenever you board an international train in Europe, check the route of the car
you are in, since trains frequently split, with different carriages going to different destina-
tions.
