The world's becoming more of a global village every day. England, France, Germany, Spain and other European countries may seem as familiar as our own backyard, and visiting them feels that easy. But until we travel to some of the places we read about or see on TV, they're just distant dreams.
With rail travel, Europe really is as close as your backyard. In Europe, the countries are often very close to one another. You can board the train at night in once country and wake up the next morning in an entirely different country. You should see as much as you possibly can and taking advantage of overnight train trips saves on lost travel time.
