Planning how to Get Around

Once you’ve got a rough idea of where you want to go and what you want to see, the next step is deciding how to get around to all those great places and things.

Planning this step is kind of a chicken-or-the-egg situation, in that you won’t know what’s the best way to get around until you’ve tried it, but you have to plan (and buy train passes if necessary) before you head for Europe. This next section will discuss the options available that require planning before you leave. Other options that don’t require as much planning, such as hitching and ride-share, are covered in Chapter 6, “Getting around.”
