Do you yearn to travel throughout Europe by train, from the southernmost point in sunny Portugal to the tip of Finland's chilliest corner? Perhaps you have a hankering to practice your high school French, or watch matadors in Madrid. Maybe you long to take high tea as your British ancestors did, or steep yourself in Welsh folklore.

Such lofty travel plans could cost a pretty penny, but they don't need to. Traveling Europe by train with a Britrail, Eurail or Euro Rail pass offers a variety of scenic options, depending on your destinations and desires. Rail is the most prevalent mode of transportation in many European countries.
